The Platforms We Maintain for Hartford, CT Websites

We have a diverse team of web designers and web developers, for Hartford small businesses, who have been immersed in multiple website platforms over the years. Having said that, it's better to master a few platforms than try to specialize in them all. For that reason, our web maintenance company for Hartford websites tends to service only the following platforms:

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

In the past, we provided website maintenance and support for Joomla and Magento platforms of Hartford businesses. The reason we moved away from those platforms was to let our website support experts focus more on training and support.
