We’ve recently started adding MalCare to all of our Website Care Plan sites. MalCare is built specifically for WordPress and adds another layer of security with malware scanning, vulnerability monitoring, and firewall protection. Its malware scans are also processed off-site, so the scanning itself doesn’t bog down your website.

Happening around town ... It’s pumpkin season at Muddy Boots Pumpkins!

The pumpkin patch and corn maze runs through October 31. Pumpkins, the corn maze, fire pits, s’mores, apple cannons and plenty of opportunities to get a little muddy.

A great Duvall fall tradition right in our backyard. They’re open every day during pumpkin season, with the night maze Friday and Saturday evenings. muddybootspumpkins.com

One of the biggest goals with Michael Hahn, Advanced Healing Therapies' new website was creating clear paths for two very different audiences.

Patients can quickly learn about his specialized manual therapy and request a session, while healthcare practitioners can easily explore his training programs, workshops and mentorship opportunities.

Good website design isn’t just about how a site looks. It’s about helping people quickly find exactly what they came for.
