I want to thank the folks at SonicSEO for creating my awesome new website! I’m thrilled with the mobile-friendly features and the way the blog and website were integrated seamlessly into one WordPress site. They worked incredibly hard to transfer hundreds of pages and thousands of images from my blog and website over to the new platform, and I love the results! There are still a few broken links and bugs on the new site, but I’m doing my best to correct those errors as I find them. If you do experience a problem, I would be grateful if you would report it on this Google Doc form so that I can look into the issue. Thanks!__Pin5
