Web Design & Development

Blogs are a tremendously valuable tool in online marketing in today's competitive environment. Most companies and online businesses still are not fully aware of the value that blogging can provide, in terms of natural search engine traffic and also in building your status (or that of your company) as an expert in your field.

Our preferred platform for blog development is WordPress. WordPress started as just a blogging system, but has evolved to be used as full content management system and so much more through the thousands of plugins and widgets. WordPress is limited only by your imagination and Media Colours can help you bring your vision to life.

We'll set up the bells and whistles that supercharge your WordPress blog. Some are designed to make using your blog easier for you, some help your blog visitors subscribe and share your blog with others, and some add technical components in a way that's so easy to use you'll be amazed! Note: Not all plugins are created equally, and there's a lot of very bad and unstable plugins out there. Put our knowledge and experience to work for you and you'll have the highest quality blog!

Search engine friendliness

We've been students of search engine optimization since 1997, and are expert in configuring WordPress for maximum search engine placement. All of our themes are 100% fully search engine friendly and set up to maximize your exposure on Google and the other search engines. The blog would be set up to automatically create the best underlying code for SEO. Your title and meta tags would also be automatically set for you, unique for each post, but you would also be able to very easily manually control these also if you wanted, on a post by post basis. This is VERY powerful for achieving good search rankings.

Full control with Widgets

All custom themes are "widgetized." This means you will have control over what elements appear in your sidebar, and in what order. Based on your unique needs, widgets can be used for a variety of areas of your blog, giving you maximum control over your content without ever touching any code. You control the content, the theme we create will make sure it looks great!

Upgraded commenting

Our themes support "nested comments" – which means that your site visitors can not only post comments about your content, but also create rich discussions with each other, and you! This feature is excellent for building a strong and loyal readership and ensuring return traffic.

Audio & Video enhancement

Always wanted to "podcast?" Want to share YouTube video with your readers? With our themes, all you have to do is know how to copy and paste and you will look like a technical genius!.

Automated spam filtering

Spam are rampant, but never fear! We will configure your blog so that you never have to worry about nasty spam filling up your blog. One client was dealing with 100's of spams a day on his blog before we helped reconfigure his WordPress blog. Now, the spam never makes it past the filter, and our client is free to enjoy blogging again!

Social Bookmarking

Your blog will be social bookmark enabled, so your visitors will simply have to click an icon to share your blog with the world!
