The Platforms We Maintain for Sarasota, FL Websites

With years of experience developing websites for Sarasota companies (and those in other areas of the country), our web designers and web developers have been immersed in multiple platforms. Having said that, it's better to master a few platforms than try to specialize in them all. For that reason, our web support company for Sarasota websites tends to service only the following platforms:

• Sarasota WordPress Web Maintenance
• Sarasota WooCommerce Web Maintenance
• Sarasota Shopify Website Maintenance

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