WordPress is the perfect web publishing platform for small business websites. But WordPress is software so it needs regular updates and maintenance, just like your home computer’s operating system.
If you are busy running your business, you may not have time to keep up with the technical details or how to fix your site if something goes wrong. Technical support is the perfect task to outsource, freeing up your time and energy for more important tasks — like making money!
I have been working with websites since 1997 and will put my expertise to work for you. I offer WordPress support packages and À la carte support services.
WordPress support packages
In addition to website consulting and technical help, I offer specialized WordPress services to help you build and run your website:
- WordPress Installations: Do you want a WordPress website or to add a blog to your existing HTML site but don’t know how to get started? I install WordPress, themes, and plugins for you on your web host. Package price includes the Genesis framework and a child theme. Find out more.
- Custom Web Forms: Sometimes you need more than basic contact forms for gathering information from leads and clients or taking specialty orders. I write and program complex forms customized for your exact needs using the premiere WordPress forms plugin, Gravity Forms. Prices start at $35. Yearly plugin subscription is $35 (includes all premium add-ons).
- WordPress Maintenance: Updates and backups are essential to protect your site. Package includes weekly or daily updates, scheduled backups, malware scans, spam removal, and more. All backups are stored offsite in a secure location. Subscriptions start at $50 per month.
- Tech Support and Consulting: Do you need a webmaster? Tech support and consulting retainer packages are available. Please contact me for a custom quote.
Site Transfers
Don’t leave your valuable website content stuck on an old website or proprietary website builder such as Wix, Weebly, or SBI. Let me and my team move your content to WordPress. Site transfers are available as part of a web design project or as a standalone service.
SBI to WP site moves are my specialty! SBI to WordPress FAQ for SBIers
Site move services include installing WordPress, importing and reformatting content, removing proprietary or outdated code, changing domains, launching the new site, redirecting traffic from your old site, and much more.
