Make a Plan, design your website
I design/develop WordPress websites ranging from a few pages to large multi-page sites with custom styling and variety of special functions such as galleries, contact/intake forms, simple e-commerce, social media connection, membership management and other elements to fit a client's needs. At all stages of development I will work with you to find the best solution for presenting your business online.
WordPress has grown into a popular Content Management System (CMS). It offers many features including:
- flexible design elements
- search engine optimization (SEO) functionality
- web standards compliance
- responsive design (your site can easily be viewed on many sized screens from phone to tablet to computer)
- easily updatable content
- many plug-ins for added functionality - galleries, contact forms, shopping carts, membership etc.
THE PROCESS
Getting your site online requires certain elements to be put in place: a domain name, a hosting provider and your website content (text, graphics, video, images, contact forms etc.)
Websites are hosted by a web host provider. The domain name that you purchase either via the hosting company or a domain name seller allows your site to be seen - it is the web address. The files that make up your website are uploaded to your domain hosting account.
I can recommend a few different hosting services and there are many to choose from, including those that specialize in WordPress.
Design pricing depends on many factors: needs, complexity of design, custom elements, amount of content, revisions etc. Rates are based on complexity of design, features, graphic artwork (logo, etc.), and various technical requirements and considerations. Together we work to present them as a unified website. For an estimate based on your needs please contact me.
