Before you get a ton of new traffic, you need a robust, scaleable website that becomes the hub of your web presence. You need a website that doesn’t cost a fortune and doesn’t require a web developer to make updates to the design and content. You need a website that is designed by a marketer, not a decorator or a coder.
This is where I can help. My team can help you build a website that works. We have the perfect WordPress theme to help you do this so you can focus your time on marketing your business.
Here’s how it works:
1. Basic Website Planning:
- Help you identity the key objective for your website and discuss how you can meet that with the website layout.
- Help you choose the layout of your website.
2. WordPress and Template Installation:
- Install WordPress on your web host. This is where the files for your website are stored. If you don’t currently have a website, we can suggest a great web host that is affordable. Please note, if your current web host is not a professional web host, or does not support one-click WordPress installations, we will advise you to move web hosts. If you decide to stay with your existing web host that doesn’t allow one-click WordPress installation and requires us to do extra work to get WordPress running, we will bill you for our time at $50 per hour.
