Golden River Homes LLC (a custom home builder) was stuck with an old WordPress website built on a outdated theme. They couldn’t update their own text or photos. Out of frustration, they were ready to abandon their hosting and move everything to Squarespace just so they could make edits themselves. On top of that, their professional branded emails were not properly functioning causing communication issues. The solution included:
1. Web Redesign and Client Training
– Saved on Costs: Kept their original hosting plan active saving the client from paying migration and additional platform fees.
– Modern Design: Built a clean, modern site.
– Easy Updates: Set up a simple visual editor so the client can easily upload new photos, portfolio items, change text, and manage the site on their own with no coding needed.
2. Email Repair & Domain Security
– Fixed the Email: Found and repaired the underlying technical bugs that were causing their branded email service to act up.
– Spam Protection: Added the necessary DNS security records (SPF, DKIM, and DMARC).
– New Compliance Rules: Made sure their email setup complied with the strict new guidelines from Google and Yahoo, ensuring their messages go straight to the inbox instead of the spam folder.
