Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know your website has to be mobile-friendly to avoid search penalties. What you may not know is how mobile-friendliness constrains your design choices.

Sallie Goetsch has delivered the website for my podcast network that I have been dreaming of for a decade. When my then-partner and I started our one podcast in January 2005, we quickly launched a website on one of the many blogging/content management systems available. As the years passed and we added shows, it became clear that the platform didn’t lend itself to our needs, but we didn’t have the skill required to build out a complex WordPress site that would accommodate multiple shows, hosts, and other elements. Sallie undertook the project and delivered a brilliant site that met every one of my requirements, along with some considerations that had never even occurred to me. Now the site is appealing, easy to navigate, ridiculously easy to update, and it reflects the theme and sensibilities of the shows in the network. It looks great on mobile devices. Even our sponsors are happier being part of our vastly improved web presence. During the process, Sallie was easy to work with and brimming with ideas. I can’t imagine working with anybody but Sallie on any future WordPress projects that come my way.

My phone and computer agree that it's 92, but the Yr app says it's 100. I think whatever sensor they use is in full sunlight all day.
