One of the advantages of using WordPress is that there are many third-party WordPress themes with distinctive looks which can be used for the visual design of a website.
There are free themes and what are called “premium” themes. “Premium” themes are supposed to be of better quality, but this is not always the case, since there are no accepted standards. And free themes can be excellent.
We can use either the “premium” or the free type, but regardless, we need to carefully look over and approve a theme before agreeing to build your site with it.
Our WordPress Theme Site includes:
- Complete WordPress-driven website
- Your choice from among hundreds of themes (which meet our quality standards)
- Home page and 5 additional pages created with your content
- A blog, if desired (entirely optional)
- A contact form
- “ShareThis” social media links
- Training for using the WordPress Dashboard yourself
- Google Analytics to provide visitor count and statistics
- A domain email address or forwarding address, if desired
Please note that customization will be limited to incorporating your branding and content. This package does not include making significant changes to the theme’s page layout, color scheme, typography, or functionality.
The WordPress Theme Site is $1,485.00.
First year of Hosting & Maintenance is $395.
When the time comes to choose a theme, we’ll work with you. Here are some theme providers we recommend:
By using a WordPress theme, we’re taking advantage of the hard work artists and coders have already done – if we stick closely with the theme as designed. The whole point of using a theme is to eliminate most of the time and effort normally spent on creating a design; this is how we’re able to offer such full-featured, powerful websites at such a reasonable price.
Here’s what we will do:
- Place your logo so that it displays prominently on each page. (If you don’t have a logo, we can create a simple graphic with your company name.)
- Display your tagline, if you have one, prominently.
- Replace images in the theme with your own images
- If the theme has several color-scheme options, use the one you like best
- Remove features you don’t want or need from the Home Page, Sidebar and Footer
- Add standard WordPress features you want in locations in the theme design where they can be placed
- Make simple adjustments to navigation menus
What we don’t do:
- Make significant changes to the overall look of the pages
- Make significant changes to the layout of the pages
- Add features or functions to the theme.
We like to be clear about what our Packages include. We want you to be really happy with your website, and we always aim to make this a smooth process.
Need Something More?
If there is a feature or function you would like to have included with your website, just ask. There are lots of small additions we’ll gladly include at no extra charge. If a feature will be time-consuming or complicated to add, there will be additional charges, and we’ll provide an estimate. And if you think you want a lot of changes to the site, a Custom WordPress Site might be worth considering.
