The problem we’re trying to solve is that we don’t want our client to have to remember that the URL to edit their site is /wp-admin or /wp-login.

A reader recently commented on our How to Name Your WordPress Theme post asking how to hide the theme information from being seen when someone looks at your site info.
It is actually a pretty simple fix that can be done in less than two minutes.
All you need to do is open up your theme’s function.php file.
Add the line of code below and your theme information will no longer show when someone views your site information in their browser.
remove_action(‘wp_head’, ‘wp_generator’);

This week we pushed live a microsite for a new finance company that was coming to market with a 401k product. Our client needed this project done in a very tight timeline and although it took some long days we were able to get the site live in time for an article about their product on TechCrunch.
The project was done entirely in HTML5.

This week we are very excited to launch the completely redesigned NewspapersofAmerica.com. We have been working with the Newspapers of America team for years now and this is the third redesign we’ve done for them.

We are proud to announce the launch of the new AFScott.com.
The AFScott team approached us when they realized it was time to upgrade from their current site which had been done years before.

As we do with most of our clients, the site is a custom theme built on WordPress.Read more
