As Seen on TechCrunch

We do a lot of things with WordPress on a daily basis. We develop plugins, themes, support existing WordPress sites, and also help site owners after their out of date WordPress site was hacked. Recently – we helped the COO of TechCrunch with a site that took malware to a new level: https://techcrunch.com/2017/03/03/woe-are-the-great-fish-of-cape-cod/.

Just as a reminder – if you use WordPress, make sure you stay on top of your WordPress updates (WordPress, plugins, and themes). As mentioned in the article – there are ways you can automate security updates if that is something that interests you as well. If not – always have a good backup process in place, and make sure you update after any security issues are found within the plugins, themes, and version of WordPress you use.

Finally, if you do get hacked, we are here to help. Simply contact us and we can get your site up and running smoothly again as soon as possible.

SDAC Inc. Web Site Update

As a web development company – we are always busy working on other client web sites and we have been so busy – we overlooked our own site for the last two years.

Over the last two years I have had every intention on updating our own web site to use Bootstrap as well as some newer WordPress functionality but always seemed too busy with other projects. A lot has changed with browsers, devices, and WordPress since our last update – and enough was enough. Over the last few weeks – I blocked out some time each day so we would finally have the responsive theme that was long overdue.

We had developed a few sites using Bootstrap and it was time we put what we had learned and have grown to love in place on our own web site. We still have some bugs to squash, but overall, are happy we finally have moved to have a responsive theme.

Furthermore – we will begin re-looking at our commercial themes that need an update as well. The updates will make our commercial themes responsive and ready for all your devices. Expect to hear more about our Lucidity themes soon!

We hope you find it easier to view on all your devices.

Eight Years Ago…

Eight years ago we started this company and took on our first client. WordPress was version 1.x. We liked and used XOOPS, and we still did the occasional static web site.

Over the past eight years we have worked with some great clients, learned a lot, and have made some great friends. Thanks to everyone who has worked with us over the year.

Interestingly enough – we are working with our first client now – eight years later on a new project this week.

We look forward to working with you for the next eight years…and the next eight years after that!
