## Questions and answers

### What does Mike Mancini do?

Mike Mancini designs and builds websites and the systems behind them: web design, front-end development, product and creative direction. He works with small businesses that have no one on staff to keep a website or sign current.

### Who has Mike Mancini worked with?

Recent clients include Moeder's Meats, a butcher shop in Kansas; Governors Park, a condominium in Denver; and Bark & Play, a dog daycare. He also built Wax Pack, a set of salary-cap sports sim games.

### Can I keep WordPress if you redesign my site?

Yes. For Moeder's Meats, WordPress stayed so the staff could keep editing the way they already knew, and a new fast front end replaced the theme customers see. The homepage's largest paint on a phone dropped from 2.2 seconds to 0.5 seconds.

### What is a sign that runs itself?

It is a TV sign system for a shop, lobby or daycare that keeps itself current: specials expire, alerts take themselves down and empty slides drop out. Staff edit it from a phone, and changes reach the TV in about five minutes.
