Brain Picking Welcome!

I have been working with WPEngine hands-on for over 7 years. It's the ONLY managed WordPress platform I'd recommend. I have migrated and maintain over 30 WordPress websites on WPEngine. I have also been a WPEngine partner for 5 years. I know the ins and outs of nearly every inch of the admin dashboard area. Let me know what you are struggling with and I will teach you how to solve the problem.

      I started working with Baker Digital a couple of months ago as I was planning a transition from Magento to Shopify for three web properties. Mike and his team have been prompt, efficient and reliable and seem to really understand the pitfalls as well as opportunities in the migration process. We launched one of the stores (CigarsCity.com) and I felt a lot better knowing Baker Digital had my back. I look forward to working with them on my other projects as well as in the future.

      I have worked with Mike many times over the years and have always appreciated the insight and expertise that he provides when it comes to website development and online exposure. Finding someone that is receptive to your thoughts and questions and is able to work hand in hand with your vision is extremely important for any business and Mike not only does all of that, but also provides great vision and ideas as well, which is probably even more important! Thank you for all of your help.

      I had several website issues that needed to be resolved quickly and I didn't know who could fix them. Thankfully I found Mike Baker Digital and the site was back up and running quickly. Not only was the website fixed, he freshened up some pages and gave them a new look. I'm now getting a better conversion rate on form submissions. What an amazing job, very quick and professional, I highly recommend Mike Baker Digital for anything your business needs online.
