WordPress Launch: ComplianceSafe

Over the last few weeks we had the fantastic opportunity to work with the crew over at Palisade Systems – a data loss prevention company here in Des Moines, IA – on a blog for their new product called ComplianceSafe.

ComplianceSafe is an innovative product for small businesses to protect information and data leaks via email.

We had a few goals for their WordPress blog

  1. Launch Quick
  2. Skin WordPress like their product site
  3. Simple, Clean, and Neat

WordPress Launch: DmTweetup.org

It’s been a couple years since we refreshed the dmTweetup.org site. We built it in the same style as the DsmStartupDrinks.com and CentralIowaBloggers.com WordPress sites.

WordPress Launch: CollectorMentor.com

This is our latest WordPress development for CollectorMentor.com. We went for a magazine style layout and heavily customized the Hello theme from Templatic. We used our standard plugin library for SEO, Analytics, and more. Also – due to it’s heavy use of images and potential traffic load we went with the WP-Super Cache plugin (see last screenshot below) which dramatically increased our page load time.

WordPress vs Squarespace

Our colleague from up north Josh Braaten asked me to collaborate on a blog post for a Content Management System showdown: WordPress vs. Squarespace.

Topics covered include…

  • Cost
  • Search Engine Friendliness (SEO)
  • Security
  • Features
  • Customization
  • Ease Of Use
  • Hosting
  • Support and Maintenance

Conclusion?

Ultimately, both Squarespace and WordPress are great web publishing tools and can most likely meet the needs of your blog or website. Andy and I hope this post has given you the perspective you need to make your choice based on your own personal goals, skills and resources.
