I’m a specialist in creating WordPress-driven CMS (content management system) web sites for small businesses. You get great looking designs that let you completely control the content. Not only can you change wording, you can add pages, change menu links, add and size photos, and more.
What does a web site cost?
Typically $1400 to $4500, depending on the functions needed and the content you need developed (i.e. copy, photography, graphic art). With this exception
If you already have a web site, with your designs (logo/graphics) and your content (words/photos) ready to go, then:
$1400 and one week gives you a new state-of-the-art WordPress site. My aim is to make you say, “Wow! I love it!” Look at some samples
You’ll get:
- A fresh high-end look and feel and a web site that works better and more efficiently than ever before
- Optimal search engine ranking (state-of-the-art optimized coding)
- Instant site editing — simple as updating a Word document
- Ability to upgrade to many extra features that are either free or very low cost.
- Periodic security updates and with occasional automatic feature upgrades
- Free tutorials and help forums widely available across the internet — when you want an advanced “how-do-I-accomplish-this…” answer at 11:30PM.
The WordPress platform has become the single best choice for most small businesses. It’s simple to maintain, highly flexible, hard to break, has most every feature available that business owners and managers want, and “refreshes” easily for the newest looks, graphics, fonts, and layouts.
[Note: there are "free" web site services, including free personal blogging WordPress sites, but they specifically lack most every crucial service a real business needs on the web.]
Advantages of WordPress (and the framework and themes I use):
- Clean, efficient, well-documented child-theme code that’s fast and easy for any developer to understand and modify in the future.
- Power, speed, and security of the Genesis framework
- Flexibility: Two layouts (typically home and inner page), in addition to all the built-in layout options (one-, two-, and three-columns, selectable on a per-page basis)
- Because WordPress is open source and hugely popular worldwide, you’ll find tutorials on the web with answers to almost any question.
If a truly custom function is what you’re after for your site then I have crack coders who can work magic.
