July 13, 2010 – 8:21 pm

We often shine a light on the custom web designs we do for clients here at the flyte blog, but we don’t often give that same attention to our clients who use one of our ProSite designs. ProSites are our affordable, pre-designed (by flyte) sites built on WordPress.

They’re cost-effective, quick to setup, and easy to run. They’re perfect for startups, or businesses that would rather put their budget towards search engine optimization, email marketing, blogging or some other web marketing campaign.
