The Platforms We Maintain for Chico, CA Websites

For Chico organizations, we have a team of web designers and web developers who have experience with multiple platforms. Nevertheless, mastering a handful of platforms is better than trying to be an expert on everything. For that reason, our website support company for Chico websites tends to service only the following platforms:

• Chico WordPress Website Maintenance
• Chico WooCommerce Web Support
• Chico Shopify Website Support

As a web maintenance agency, we used to maintain and support Joomla and Magento websites for Chico-area small businesses. The reason we moved away from those platforms was to let our web support specialists focus more on training and support.
