WordPress Website
Design in Arkansas

When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

This concept, formulated by Abraham Maslow, is known as the 'law of the instrument' and it describes a blind over-reliance on a particular tool due to the user's unfamiliarity with other options. We think this law may explain why nearly all the web design companies in Northwest Arkansas offer exclusively WordPress web design: if it's the only tool in the bag, then it's the only solution that can be presented.

If you call up any of the website development companies in our region, you will hear a great deal about WordPress and how it is the perfect option for you. But you will rarely (if ever) hear an honest assessment of the drawbacks and tradeoffs that come with a WordPress solution.

And you will almost certainly never hear that there are other options available to you. At Doc4, we have a big tool bag: not only are we experts in WordPress website design, we also offer options other than WordPress. This means we can present you with a tailored solution to your specific needs, instead of trying to wedge you into the only solution we know how to provide.

For more information on WordPress, check out this article we wrote summarizing the pros and cons of WordPress or scroll down for all of our WordPress resources.

Or you can always drop us a line at (479) 202-8634 and we can help you decide whether or not WordPress is right for your situation.
