Customizable, Affordable, End-user Editable Web Sites using Wordpress
Wordpress is an open source content management system that easily allows a person to create a website and blog with many customizable functions. Wordpress is my platform of choice for creating web sites and blogs, and has an easy-to-use “back end” content management system. Wordpress is now a featured application for use within LinkedIn!
After a design is complete and fully functional, you should have all the control you need to edit the pages, blog posts, and sidebar items of your web site through wordpress!
Or, if you don’t have the time for edits while running your business, I am willing to also Maintain your wordpress site for you!
Some common Wordpress maintenance tasks include:
- Installation, Upgrades, and Maintenance
- MySQL Database changes/revisions
- Blog and web site design
- Backing up or moving your wordpress blog
- Choosing, installing, and configuring plugins
- Template and theme selection and modification
- Custom sidebar Widgets!
- Google Adsense integration
- Search Engine Optimization
- Blog and Page management strategies
- Custom Wordpress programming
Web Site Setup and Maintenance
- Do you already have a web site, but just need someone to maintain it from time to time?
- Are you wanting to move your site to another hosting company or transfer your domain name to someone else?
- Do you need a “tech talker” to solve a problem with your hosting company?
- Do you just need the basics done (domain registration, hosting, email setup, Wordpress install, etc), and then you can take it from there?
I offer affordable hourly setup and maintenance rates, along with discounts for pre-paid maintenance “time blocks” of 4 hours.
