The Platforms We Maintain for Rochester, NH Websites

For Rochester businesses, we have a team of web designers and web developers who have experience with multiple platforms. That said, it is better to become a master of a handful of platforms rather than try to specialize in them all. For that reason, our web maintenance firm for Rochester websites tends to service only the following platforms:

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

In the past, we provided website maintenance and support for Joomla and Magento platforms of Rochester businesses. However, we chose not to use those platforms so our web maintenance experts could focus on training and support within the more popular platforms.
