Fun4business

For small business owners in Calgary whose website has started to look dated, breaks when a form stops sending, or takes weeks to change, Fun4business offers WordPress design and support. The company works only on WordPress. It describes its mission as turning websites that owners feel embarrassed about into modern designs they are proud to show, and it takes on both fresh builds and full redesigns of existing sites.

Done for you or done with you

Clients can hand over the whole project, or they can keep control of their own site while the firm supports them as a WordPress specialist. The company says it wants to act as a personal WordPress expert who sits inside the client's wider team. It stresses clear communication and realistic timelines so that projects keep moving.

Content written to sell and to be found

According to the firm, a sound website strategy depends on content that is organised for search engines and written to persuade a visitor to act. Search optimisation is therefore part of the build rather than an afterthought, and it is also offered as a separate, ongoing service for businesses that want better rankings.

Care plans for changes, updates and protection

Ongoing work falls into two kinds. Changes to text, pages and images are treated as website maintenance, while updates to WordPress plugins and the core software are treated as WordPress updates. The company notes that most businesses will need both. Hourly support is available for fixes and improvements, and a protection service covers owners who want their site looked after in the background.

Recent work and long-term clients

The portfolio on the firm's site includes websites for a bookkeeping business, a piano technician and a home renovation company. Some clients have worked with the firm for many years, which the company puts down to its preference for long-term partnerships over one-off jobs.
