WordPress Website Creation

With this WordPress Website Creation package, I will:

  • Install WordPress onto your hosting server.
  • Install the StudioPress theme ($80 value) of your choice.
  • Consult with you on format, content, aesthetics, and continue to make small and large changes until you are completely satisfied.
  • Launch your new website and make sure everything is up and running correctly.
  • Install and configure all vital plug-ins to your  WordPress platform to increase security, spam protection, search engine optimization, social network integration, and user-friendliness based on your needs.  My basic list of plug-ins includes:
    • Facebook “Like” Buttons
    • Flash MP3 Players
    • Akismet
    • All in one SEO pack
    • Better tag cloud
    • Broken link checker
    • Category order
    • Contact form 7
    • Featured contact gallery
    • Google Analytics for wordpress
    • Google xml sitemaps
    • Pagemash page ordering
    • Seo slugs
    • Sociable or sexy-bookmarks
  • Create and install Facebook, Twitter, and other social media widgets
  • Lead a 2-hour training for you and anyone else who will be working with your site on how to use the WordPress platform and manage your fantastic new site. This will be in-person if you are in the Seattle area, or over the phone or by internet conference if you live elsewhere.

Please contact me with a description of your needs for a price quote and time frame estimate.


What is NOT included in this package:

  • Hosting and domain name costs: If you do not currently have a website, you will need to purchase web hosting (where the files of your website live online) and a domain name (the address www.yourfantasticwebsite.com that points to those files). I highly recommend BlueHost.com for hosting ($6.95 per month) based on price and WordPress compatibility. Right now that price includes one domain name. I would really appreciate it if you bought this hosting via my affiliate link: http://www.bluehost.com/track/mattdotcom
  • Stock photos and images: You need to own the rights to copy and distribute any images on your website. Most people, unless they are avid photographers, will need more images than they currently own to make their websites really pop. iStock.com is a great resource for purchasing stock photos to use on your site, but there are small costs associated. I am happy to help you find great photos for your site, but purchase costs are not included in this package.
