About this service

Summary

WordPress Website - whether you are looking at creating a custom-built site developed and designed from the ground up - or doing more of a Redesign / Overhaul, I can help.
I can also assist with migrating WordPress from one domain to another, or migrating from Squarespace or Wix over to WordPress.
I have the most experience working with websites for coaches and wellness practitioners, but with a long track record of high complexity engineering projects, I'm open to discussing far more ambitious or complex ideas.
WordPress is everywhere, and for a good reason - it can do just about anything!
As of 2022, WordPress powers over 43% of all websites on the internet, ranging from personal sites to huge enterprise-level sites. This includes millions of businesses and organizations.
A 2021 survey by WordPress hosting company Kinsta found that 71% of the respondents said they use WordPress for their business websites.
According to BuiltWith statistics, among the top 1 million websites they track, over 36% use WordPress. Many of these are businesses and organizations.
WordPress themselves tout that WordPress helps power over 60 million websites today. This includes sites across a huge range of industries and verticals.
Major global brands and businesses using WordPress include the likes of Microsoft, McDonald's, BBC America, Forbes, UPS, Best Buy and many more. Government agencies like NASA, NOAA, whitehouse.gov also use WordPress.
Why Me?
I have been working with WordPress literally since it's 1.0 days, back in 2004.
I have designed, built, and operated one or more of my own sites running on WordPress over the last two decades - I know many of the pain points personally.
With a background in database development and software engineering, I can handle any degree of technical issues or challenges that your project may bring up.
I bring a unique blend of right/left brain talents to all of my projects. Put another way: I can help with graphic design as well as writing custom PHO or JavaScript code if needed.

What's included

  • Small Business WordPress Website

    * Setup and configured on your account with hosting provider of your choice * On-brand: designed to meet your business’ brand, content, and functionality needs

  • Great Customer/Client Experience: Optimized for Speed

    * Caching enabled, configured, and tested * Content Delivery Network (CDN) - depending on your site's functionality, we might look at ways to deliver all media through a CDN * WordPress optimization: there are numerous ways to ensure WordPress remains lean and speedy * All of the above will be done while working within your timeline and budget

  • Locked Up Not Locked Down: Secure by Default

    WordPress is a target for hackers, spammers, and scammers. And you don't have to be operating a big-name website to be a target. Just ask a friend of mine who woke up one day to having her coaching website be overrun with viagra ads :) Some of the actions we'll take include: * Website, domain name, and DNS settings configured to properly handle secure HTTPS connection * Lock down access points to WordPress that are not needed by your use case * Reduce number of times for failed logins (helps with brute force attacks)

  • Professional E-mail Address: you@yourdomain.com (Optional)

    As an optional add-on service, I can help get you setup on your email provider of choice (ex. Gmail, Microsoft, Proton) with a professional email address.

  • Embedded / Integrated Appointment Scheduling (Optional)

    Happy to integrate any sort of embeddable / widgetized services you want to offer your visitors. The most common option here is to fully embed an appointment scheduling app, like Acuity or Calendly.

  • Forms to meet your business needs (Optional)

    Get your website to work for you... I'll work with you to understand your business processes and workflow. Online forms can be simple like a Contact Us form, or complex like a project scoping wizard. We'll build it, test it, then make sure you have a reliable SMTP service to ensure deliverability of emails.

  • Training

    For anything complex or tricky that we decide to build, I will provide end-user documentation and train anyone who you identify as a User of the system.
