Over the last few years, we have been working on the overly ambitious project of rebuilding our Website Builder and Content Management System based on modern coding standards, cutting edge design, and advanced functionality. It's been an incredible challenge for our small team, but we're super proud of what we've created. And when our automated billing system is complete in the next few weeks, we will be ready to launch!

New 2.0 Gutensite Website Launch - Strategy, Branding, SEO, Social, DesignThe beta testing phase with the first 25 clients was successful and we are now ready to migrate all current client websites from the 1.0 platform to 2.0. Keep in mind that we have limited capacity, so you should start the process as soon as possible to get on our schedule.

We've gotten a lot of inquiries lately from business owners concerned about being sued over website accessibility by disabled persons. This is a complex situation that deserves some attention.

Websites Should be Accessible to All

We want all our websites to be accessible to people with disabilities, so that all visitors can use our client’s services equally. It’s good for disabled visitors and it’s good for our clients, because people with disabilities represent an important customer base. It’s a win win situation for everyone.

If you are aware of any errors on our websites that are in clear violation of ADA compliance or WCAG standards, please alert us and we will immediately evaluate and fix.
