Alessio provided an excellent service. He was very dedicated in his method of finding solutions to problems. He continued to try different avenues until he found the reason as to why a particular application was not working. He was very knowledgeable in his understanding of the internet and of applications and how they work, and he was able to apply this knowledge in understanding how to resolve the obstacles that continued to appear.

Alessio from AGR Technology has recently helped me create a website for my business.
Throughout the whole process from start to finish Alessio made the process easy for me, by calling me and explaining each step of the way. I'm not very computer savvy, but with Alessio taking the time to explain in detail everything I needed to know from putting inventory in to having it shipped. He even remotely joined my computer to help guide me through everything.
He's very knowledgeable and is experienced in everything I needed and if there was anything else I needed to know that wasn't something he was familiar with, he researched it.
I would HIGHLY recommend Alessio to anyone. He has not only helped me for now but I know that if I ever needed help with anything else he would definitely go above and beyond to help. Thank you so much for everything you have done. It's been a long process but well worth it 🙂

WordPress makes managing content refreshingly simple. Even if your team has limited technical skills, updating pages, publishing blogs, and tweaking site elements becomes intuitive. We see organisations save hours each week after migrating from Joomla’s more complicated backend.

Search rankings matter. WordPress offers superior SEO tools and plugins, making it easier to increase visibility and bring in leads. Our clients typically notice improved Google indexing and more organic traffic within months of moving over.

WordPress solutions are often far more affordable to maintain. With fewer technical barriers and lower extension costs, ongoing maintenance won’t stretch your budget. Our team manages updates, backups, and security so you can refocus resources elsewhere.
