The Pros and Cons of Square Loans

Square is an incredibly accessible payment processor for small businesses. Most of the businesses we work with use Square. My other business, Bear Dance Hemp Company, also uses Square, and we have taken out a couple of loans with them in the past while tackling various projects and store improvements.

Why We (Usually) Don't Work With WordPress

So. It’s 2022 and you’re on WordPress. Finding an agency that specializes in AND recommends WordPress is getting more and more rare.

If you’re on WordPress and you’re trying to make any significant changes to your site, I usually recommend considering switching to a different Content Management System (CMS) like Squarespace.
