I love Scott Hensey's work. He's a toy sculptor extraordinaire! I was happy for the opportunity to rebuild his website for him: https://anaglyphsculpture.com/

It was very cool checking out his wax sculpting and model moulding process in his studio in Sebastopol, and working with him to build his galleries. I taught him everything he needs to know about WordPress to maintain them according to his whim.

This is the art dept. We have provided art services to toy and giftware manufacturers for more than 30 years. We work with all the major property owners to get that all important licensor approval while keeping in sight tooling and packaging requirements. We do not do any manufacturing. Attention to...

Favorite WordPress website of the week! Here's a beautiful community of around 40,000 volunteers in over 100 countries working hard to "Give the World a Helping Hand": https://enablingthefuture.org/
As they say: "e-NABLE is an online global community of 'Digital Humanitarian' volunteers from all over the world who are using their 3D printers to make free and low-cost prosthetic upper limb devices for children and adults in need."
I noticed that their site is built in WordPress. Do you know how to tell? You can add /wp-admin to the web address to get to the login address, like this:

What happened to my website?!
Websites are vulnerable. Errors, accidents, and crashes can happen to your website, too. But it's no problem if you’ve got reliable backups! Web WatchDawg will get it back up and running ASAP.
Losses can happen when updating themes or plugins, when your host’s server crashes, or when your site gets hacked. More often someone simply makes a mistake! You or your employees delete something or make a change that breaks your site. Often somehow you forget to pay the bill, your web host warns you, and then simply deletes your site. One day your site is gone!
For whatever reason, it's easy to restore it IF you've got a backup!
Web WatchDawg protects your website with daily backups to the industry-standard Google Drive, providing you with reliable remote cloud backups of your website.
