Web design and support

Our website is the primary method by which our dogs get adopted. We use Adopt-A-Pet for advertising, but the details and information about each dog is on the website and that is where potential adopters are directed. In addition, it contains links for donations, event information, and many other critical functions for communicated with the public. We use WordPress for our site with a series of plugins. Web designers help build and optimize our site as well as other online applications such as our online forms. We need people familiar with css, html, and other programming languages used in website design work as well as SEO best practices.
