Why we recommend a theme

October 8, 2015/in Updates

We came across a great article this morning explaining commercial themes. What are commercial themes? Themes are websites that have been coded and designed for you. Really the only thing you have to do is fill the site with your companies content. This article by Small Biz Trends quickly explains some advantages and disadvantages to building your site this way.

If you shop for a theme first and then build your website to fit it, you’re not really building a website for your business; you’re building a generic website. So your first order of business has to be to map out your goals for your website… In effect, you need to create your shopping list before you go shopping.

I would highly recommend Ray and his Team. Rocky Mountain Audio/Video contracted with Ray to help develop a web based copyprotected USB stick. We were both heading down unchartered territory and Ray worked tirelessly to find the solutions we needed. He was timely and professional. We could not have enjoyed working with him more and am looking forward to the next projects.

Ray Grau is absolutely the go-to person you need for all web design matters, including researching the best plugins for a particular task and implementing them seamlessly into a website. He’s more than easy to work with—he goes the extra mile on everything. Also, unlike many with his coding skills, he has a fine and aesthetically sophisticated sense of design. In my experience that’s a rare combination. Could not recommend Ray Grau more highly.

I have worked both personally and professionally with Ray and Daisy for many years. Their work has always exceeded my expectations. They are always so easy to work with and work with my crazy schedule. They have done a variety of different things/jobs for me over the years and it always turns out fantastic. They are wonderful people who work very hard to take care of their customers and have that "whatever it takes" attitude. They are also two very kind young people who are raising to beautiful children. They understand the difficult balance between work and personal life and are always respectful of my time constraints. Thank you for all you both have done for me and my family over the years!

Ray and Daisy designed our homeschool support group's high school theater playbill and graduation program! They were so easy and pleasant to work with, even as I kept throwing them new information and requests. Perfectly professional! We will definitely use them again and recommend them to all our friends!

Ray at Rg Design is amazing! They helped get our website updated and mobile friendly. We have received multiple comments on the usability of our site and how easy it is to find our location. Ray also makes it so easy to get our site and social networks updated by a simple phone call or email. He is reliable and trust worthy and worth every penny. Thank you so much for working on our site!

I would highly recommend Ray for website development, graphic design, and e-commerce development/maintenance. Ray is an invaluable resource to my operation and has been an asset to me for a number of years. His web marketing advice and subsequent results have been just what I've needed to continue to grow and expand within my industry. Additionally, he is always able to provide creative solutions that fit within my goals for growth while also attending to budget allowances. He is committed to excellence and won't rest until he's earned your respect and satisfaction with any project. If you want to successfully market your business and distinguish yourself above the rest, Ray should be your number one choice...hands down!
