Fully Optimized Custom WordPress Website Gains Google Position #1

Bootstrap 4 Update
-
A "bootstrap" is either a loop at the back of your boot to help pull it on (a noun), or it means using one's own resources to start a business (a verb). In both situations a bootstrap helps you get things done.
In the web world, "Bootstrap" is a system that helps get a website design up and running more quickly. And on all devices!
We have been using Bootstrap for quite a while, Version 3 to be more specific.

We have been using Bootstrap for quite a while, Version 3 to be more specific.
Now we are implementing new designs and converting old ones to Bootstrap Version 4.
Bootstrap Version 4 incorporates one major feature that really helps with search engines and even better on visual appearance. That feature is "Flexbox."
We uss Flexbox because of its incredible ability to give great appearance and fantastic search optimization.
Now the two systems are combines into Bootstrap 4.
You should be using it for any new website, and for old websites you have about one year to implement it before you will be overtaken.

FlexBox

We have begun preparing site designs with the newest "FlexBox" design concepts. But don't panic yet, as FlexBox it is not supported well enough by the major web browsers to make a major investment in it.
However, FlexBox will become a major web design factor within two years, and should be considered now in any new designs or site renovations.

However, FlexBox will become a major web design factor within two years, and should be considered now in any new designs or site renovations.
Why? Because the potential behind FlexBox web design is the ability to easily (ie, economically) create fully search engine optimized websites that will also "Flex" in a "Responsive" way when viewed on a multitude of devices (desktop, laptop, tablet and smartphone).
And that means more website visitors for those website owners who employ the concept.

You've Been Hacked!

One day a loyal customer alerts you that Google has flagged your website with the dire warning "This Website May Be Hacked"?
Frightful! You look at your website, but everything looks normal. Most likely, you are the victim of a "Spam Hack" aka "SEO Hack."
In this very common situation the hacker doesn't want you or your customers to see anything unusual. They want you left in the dark so they have more time for their own desired customer, Google, to notice -- Which Google does…One day a loyal customer alerts you that Google has flagged your website with the dire warning "This Website May Be Hacked"?
Frightful! You look at your website, but everything looks normal. Most likely, you are the victim of a "Spam Hack" aka "SEO Hack."
In this very common situation the hacker doesn't want you or your customers to see anything unusual. They want you left in the dark so they have more time for their own desired customer, Google, to notice -- Which Google does repeatedly and at warp speed. All of a sudden, Google shows your website as having 300,000 pages, not the 30 pages you actually started with. All this happen very quickly.
Sadly, the reality is that once you first set up your website, hundreds of attempts will be made each and every day by hackers looking for websites to break into. I was contacted recently by a business owner and upon my investigation I identified one single hacker having made 75,000 break-in attempts in less than 24 hours.
You should be worried about that Google warning. There is a huge potential for lost revenue if Google keeps showing that warning. Customers will skip over your website and move on to the next listing -- which all too often is one of your close competitors.
Time is of the utmost essence. I have seen some unfortunate business owners go for months without knowing what to do or "who to call."
So, "Who ya gonna call?"
