WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT

A friend once advised us to stop paying a third-party to write code, like Javascript, MySQL, and PHP. Instead, we should get a book and learn it. Today, we would give that advice to any web developer looking to grow. Gemini Creative’s abilities come from experience. And though we’re a little embarrassed to admit being nerds, we love writing code. It’s actually super fun. And we dream about it. Ok, enough sharing.

We develop WordPress themes from scratch. That means we take a completed design and recreate it as code that WordPress understands so that you can edit your website. WordPress is a great tool for building a website from a design. It allows us to use a database to handle the content while we write the code that displays that content. A handmade custom WordPress website is much more applicable to our clients’ needs than anything else we've worked with. In our opinion, there’s really no better way to do it.

You can read our blog post about Why We Use WordPress, a Nerdy Loveletter to learn more about our love for this amazing business tool.

WEB APP DEVELOPMENT

You know those repetitive tasks you do around the office? You might have the feeling that process could be made easier and more accurate using your phone or your laptop (we’re willing to bet you’re right). We’ve developed web applications that handle keeping track of accounts, products, services, and customers. Whole processes that you might be doing on paper and stashing into folders can be recreated using a web app and a database. A web app is like an app on your phone, you just open it with Chrome or Safari.

We’d love to talk about your process. We'll tell you if a custom web application would make sense for your business and make some daily processes easier - actually better.

WHAT IS WORDPRESS?

WordPress is a content management system (CMS) for websites. It provides a simple way to add, edit, and remove content on that website. It is not WordPress.com, which is an online service for free websites. A website developer installs a copy of WordPress on a webserver. They create a blank database, connect it to WordPress, and you have a WordPress website. But what can we do with it? That's the fun part (for code nerds). We can do anything.

WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH IT?

We like WordPress as a development platform because there's nothing to it. It simply waits for us to tell it what to do. We don't need to use a theme found online. We can develop a custom theme based on a design of your beautiful new website-to-be. We use WordPress to allow our clients to update content. They can add new pages, and then add new sections to that page. If we code it, they can do whatever they need.
