New Designs for Affordable Websites from flyte

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Starting at just under $2K, our ProSites have always been a good choice for startups or companies that want to take some of their “Interweb funds” and put it towards some search engine optimization, blogging or email marketing.

This past week we introduced three new designs, Textures, Bright Lights and World Travel, as well as retiring some of our older designs.

Besides the great price point, all of these ProSites are built on WordPress, a simple-to-use content management system (CMS). That means you can add, edit, and delete content, pages, upload images, and embed videos to your heart’s content (or to your business’s needs.)

These sites have been built to be flexible enough to fit almost any kind of business, and you can change the navigation to fit your offerings, whether they’re services or products. They work great for non-profits, too.

But wait, there’s more!

Through the month of February (that’s 2010), we’re going to include a free blog with every ProSite. For search engine optimization, establishing your credibility, and as the hub of your social media activity, there’s no better tool than a business blog, and with the new ProSites, they’re integrated into your website. They’re the perfect compliment to an effective Web presence.

Be sure to check out the ProSites at our Web site, or just reach out now and contact flyte today.

Nicola’s Homes Blog: Great Design Ideas from Nicola Manganello

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Nicola's Homes BlogEarlier this week flyte launched a brand new WordPress blog for Nicola Manganello, an amazing interior designer located right here in Maine. As Nicola says,

I want to share [the joy of design] through this blog. I hope that when you stop by, you will discover something that assists you in creating spaces that nurture your family, embrace your guests and celebrate your personal style.

The new Web site was launched in time to help promote the fact that Nicola has a new line of bedding and quilts at Garnet Hill.

The blog, and Nicola’s main site, were both designed by the talented Braden Buehler of Narrative Design, an FOF. (Friend of flyte.)

Flyte took Braden’s designs and created a new WordPress theme that complemented the design of the current site, but made it flexible enough to work as a blog.

If you’re looking for design inspiration for your home, be sure to check out Nicola’s Homes Blog. You can also follow Nicola on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

Levey & Wagley: A WordPress Port for Maine Lawyers

Monday, January 4th, 2010

Levey & WagleyRecently flyte helped Levey & Wagley, Maine attorneys-at-law, upgrade their Web presence.

First, a bit about Levey & Wagley: located in Winthrop, Maine, this law firm offers services in the following categories:

We performed what we call a “WordPress Port.” We take a traditional, static Web site, and create a WordPress theme based on that design. We then port over all the content, included some training, and voila! The law firm, the small business owner, or the non-profit agency can now add, edit and delete their own content, create new pages, upload photos or embed videos to their heart’s content.

Suddenly their static Web site is a robust publishing platform.

Are you ready to take your Web site to the next level?
