Advanced Themes
We work with several theme manufacturers to get produce unique design and layout for every website we build. Our system is not based on templates. Instead, we create an off-line design for you first, and then apply that design onto the WordPress CMS via the most appropriate theme plugin.
Advanced Slide Show
Use out advanced HTML5 WordPress plugin for multi-layer slide shows. This plugin offers video, text and image layers and choose from a large selection of pre-built layer transitions to create smooth stylish display elements to show off your products or services. This function provides what people often call the “wow factor”. Don’t get a website without it.
Custom Sidebar
Create as many custom sidebars as you like and arrange them on the left or right side of any page. Every page is flexible and there’s no limit to the number of sidebars you build. These are great for content elements like product, services or blog menus and any other elements that you want to repeat across many pages.
Mega Menu
Take control over how your website user navigates your website with the mega menu WrdPress plugin. You can add images, logos, symbols and content previews and even pricing directly to the navigation drop-downs.
Microsite
Run any page in your website like it was a standalone page. You can change logos, header layout, footer content, colour and design. This is great for the business that has a sub-brand or promotion that is focused on a product or service that doesn’t fall under the same identity as the parent company or business.
Pricing Tables
Our WordPress plugin for pricing tables allow for easy drag and drop creation of pricing or product comparison tables. Create a table and use it on any page in your website via a shortcode. Tables support mobile-responsiveness and will re-size for any screen.
Custom Footer
Divide your website footer into column sections or even create a different footer for every page. The custom footer comes with content builders or accepts HTML code for your own custom created content. Great for signup forms, Google maps, mini-menus, contact details, videos, images and just about anything else you can imagine.
Custom header
Pick from a selection of header layouts to centre, left justify or right justify content, add phone number, email, skype, or social media links and of course your company logo. Custom headers can be made to any size and contain any background picture, colour or texture you like. They also span the full width of the screen or stay within a fixed boundary.
CSS3 / HTML5
Every WordPress website we build is powered by HTML5 and CSS3 output which offers the latest styles and transitions. Modern, smooth and truly beautiful.
