Website Help

[neilwhite483]

Good morning

I am looking for some advice, with my website
I would like to continue updating it myself but I'd also like it to be mobile friendly.

Can anybody offer me any advice? At the moment I do not need the website to be more than an information source for potential clients and a pointer contact.

Thanks

Hi

Are you looking to build a new site yourself or have someone do it for you so that you can update it later.

If you are doing it yourself, avoid the free site builders like Wix, Mrsite etc

I'd prefer to do it myself, or at least be able to maintain and update it myself.

Wordpress is probably your simplest option for a self build. There's thousands of mobile themes available

Agree with Rydale, get wordpress installed and you will discover a whole new world with more features and options that you could ever hope to use.

And before long you will realise you can do so much more than be just a simple information source. The learning curve is quite steep but the are zillions of tutorials you can refer to.

Hello Neil,

You have two options. One is to have the site converted to wordpress, which can make it mobile friendly without too much fuss, including future pages to be mobile friendly. We convert standard HTML sites to wordpress regularly so know that its not too much effort. Looking at your site and number of pages it could be done in a day, inclduing full mobile friendly.

Alternatively if your happy updating it the way you are, then you can still create stylesheets specific for mobile/tablets.

I went with wordpress and downloaded a theme from ThemeForest
Getting the theme can be a little bit fiddly to start with, but it does save you a lot of time, and you can update it yourself

I ended up using WordPress too and I'm happy with the results. Thanks for everyones input.

Good job.

I'd use a transparent png for your twitter icon (to avoid the white on the corners), and perhaps shift to a slightly softer blue and maybe remove the black outline from the boxes on the services pages and so forth.

You could also switch to a better web host

All the best,

Dan
