We Build and Manage Drupal, WordPress, and Joomla! web sites
Successful websites are always changing. A content management system powered by WordPress, Drupal or Joomla! makes it easy to add stories, pages, images, videos, and more. Site owners can edit and manage content 'in-page' simply by logging in and clicking an 'Edit' link.

Charlesworth Fine Art
Charlesworth Fine Art is the website for acclaimed Canadian artist Rod Charlesworth. Their prior website was developed as a static HTML site and although it was techincally effecient, it required someone with HTML and web publishing experience to make simple content changes. Subseqently, updates stopped and the website fell out of date with Rod's current portfolio of work and exhibition schedule. It was clear that Charlesworth Fine Art needed a solution where they could make simple updates.
