FDGweb saved me when my website had been having weeks of crashes and outages that no one could figure out, including my hosting company. They acted with urgency and solved the problem quickly and effectively. That alone would merit a 5-star review from me.
Highlights
Stabilized Code Base
When we began our partnership with Ask A Manager, we quickly identified critical issues within their code base, which was resulting in twice daily downtime, jeopardizing their online reputation and customer trust. Our team of expert developers dove deep into the system, meticulously analyzing the existing structure to pinpoint inefficiencies and vulnerabilities. With a combination of refactoring, optimizing, and introducing robust error-handling protocols, we successfully stabilized their digital platform.
Seamless Migration
When faced with the task of migrating Ask A Manager to a new hosting platform, our primary commitment was to ensure zero disruption to their ongoing operations. By leveraging state-of-the-art migration tools, staging environments, and conducting dry runs, we readied ourselves for the task. When the migration moment arrived, our team worked synchronously, ensuring every piece of data, every file, every configuration setting was securely transferred without a hitch. The result? A flawless migration executed with such finesse that Ask A Manager’s online presence experienced absolutely no downtime.
Custom Themes and Plugins
Our team crafted custom plugins and introduced targeted theme enhancements. These tailored solutions not only refined the site’s functionality for users but also provided our client with streamlined tools to manage user comments effectively.
By integrating intuitive user prompts and automated moderation filters, we’ve enabled Ask A Manager to foster a positive online community while maintaining control over the content that appears on their platform. This endeavor underscores our commitment to bespoke solutions, ensuring that each website isn’t just functional but perfectly tailored to our client’s unique needs and challenges.
Hero Navigation Redesign
We redesigned Ask a Manager’s hero navigation with a fresh, modern touch—while staying true to the mid-century aesthetic the site is known for. The updated look maintains the retro charm of the original era-inspired style but introduces cleaner typography, a more refined layout, and subtle visual polish to improve usability without losing personality.
Proactive Support & Maintenance
We now provide ongoing proactive maintenance & on-demand support for Alison’s team in order to keep the website running smoothly as well as help chart the path forward for the next 5 – 10 years.
