The truth is that I really wanted to revamp my friend Dean Burrell’s website. What he had worked ‘okay.’ There were a few issues though. It did not look good on mobile devices. It didn’t allow for the possibility of expansion— at least not easily.
I thought Higher Realms could still be simple and straight forward with a little extra graphics pizazz and color. In fact, we could keep some of feeling of the old site and brighten it up at the same time.
I don’t remember how or when Dean decided to let me refurbish his site and convert it to WordPress, but I am glad he did. The timing was right. Now Higher Realms Energy Therapies feels both energetic and healing — a natural extension of Deans’ good work.
We added:
- Testimonials with Strong Testimonials.
- Better SEO with Yoast SEO.
- Recently upgraded Brute Force Login Protection to keep out badnicks.
- SSL for a little better ranking with Google. Really Simple SSL.
- More information about Dean and his Services.
- A contact form and a space for him to write about his philosophy and whatever is on his mind— a blog.
- The theme is a mildly modified version of WordPress’ Twentyseventeen because the front page scrolled in a similar way to the original page. The subpages were modified so that pages other than the blog could have a sidebar. 5 Excellent Ways to Hack the TwentySeventeen WordPress Theme.
