The Platforms We Maintain for Toledo, OH Websites

We have a diverse team of web designers and web developers, for Toledo businesses, who have been immersed in multiple website platforms over the years. 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 support agency for Toledo websites tends to service only the following platforms:

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

We've managed Joomla and Magento platforms for Toledo businesses in the past. However, we chose to move away from those platforms to allow our website support experts to focus more heavily on training and support within the other systems.
