Alpha Care: Personal Care Services Wisconsin
Alpha Care Wisconsin is a home healthcare agency providing skilled nursing, home health aide services, wound care, therapy support, and personalized in-home care solutions across multiple counties in Wisconsin. The organization required a more flexible, scalable, and SEO-friendly website to support its growing digital presence and improve lead generation. The project involved a complete migration from Squarespace to WordPress while preserving existing content, improving performance, and creating a stronger foundation for future growth.
