How We Do WordPress

Are you ready to dive into the wonderful world of WordPress? I assure you that it’s an exciting and creative journey that you won’t regret! By following our guideline details, it’s incredibly easy for you to get your own stunning WordPress website.

First, We go over the details about how to get started by using the right theme and page building.

Secondly, we carefully outline what you must provide for us to give you the best quote possible.

Next, we explain the 3-phases including the 1) set-up phase, 2) design phase, and 3) development phase along with the payments associated with each phase.

Then, we go into your two options for using WPEngine as your hosting platform.

Finally, we explain an expectation of timelines and the projects we currently accept.

How do you get started?

These are the components you need to get started with your new WordPress site. Please note that we are happy to quote a package that includes these components for you so that there is no need for you to purchase them separately.

  1. Purchase your domain name through the vendor of your choice.
    • This is not necessary if you now have a domain name. Instead, you simply supply me with the vendor info who holds your domain name. Then, this agency does the work to transfer it to your new site.
    • You may purchase your domain name through other vendors as well.
  2. Be aware that I only work with the Astra Pro Theme and the Elementor Pro Page Builder.
    • For more information see Set-Up Phase below.
  3. Purchase your hosting through WP Engine – Scale Plan – 4 months free. For more information refer to “What are the Phases?” below.

How do you get a quote?

For WordPress projects, you receive an more accurate quote if I know as much as possible about the design that you expect. If that’s not possible, wire frames, and/or an overview of the functions that you expect in the site along with the different page templates allow me to at least roughly estimate the costs for you while we together we work to find the right layout and design.

Therefore, because design is very subjective and often changes over the course of the design process, I don’t commit to a specific development fee ahead of approval of the final design files.

What are the phases?

The Set-Up Phase

  1. After deciding to use this agency’s services, you receive a estimate of expectations.
  2. The Astra Pro Theme and the Elementor Pro Page Builder is included in the total pricing estimate.
  3. Next, we will host your site in our WPEngine package and the monthly payment for hosting and maintenance is included in the pricing.
  4. If you purchase your own hosting package, as the Owner, you invite me as the Administrator (no billing) to the WPEngine Portal.
  5. Either way, my team sets up the basic WordPress website, getting it ready for the Design Phase.

The Design Phase

  1. You receive an invoice for a nonrefundable deposit and payment must be received before we enter into a design phase.
  2. Our design fees are $300 for a 3-page website or a 1-Page landing page website and go up from there.
  3. Once the design is agreed upon, we move to the development phase.

The Development Phase

  1. Next, you receive an estimate for the development fee of which you receive an invoice for half in advance.
  2. Our fees start at $300 for a 3-page website or a 1-Page landing page website, depending on your specifications.
  3. Then, my team completes all expectations for your website.
  4. When all requirements are met, I send you an invoice for the balance of the development fee.

What about hosting?

Again, we only design sites that use WPEngine for their hosting. Here is how we work with you through WPEngine:
 

Option One

We include your website in our WPEngine hosting package and the price of hosting is a monthly total, depending on the needs of your site. In this scenario, we are your host. Again, we also perform full maintenance on your website as a part of your monthly total.
 

Option Two

  1. You purchase hosting through WPEngine, and as the Owner, you invite me to your portal as the Administrator (no billing.) You can do this through the amazing live help desk on WPEngine.
  2. Then, I invite my lead designer/developer and we proceed with the basic set-up, design, and development phases.
  3. Please note that unless you retain us on a separate monthly low-cost minimal maintenance contract, we will not return to fix problems on the website.

What about the timeline?

Design and development of WordPress projects are usually 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the size of the site. Sometimes sites are incredibly basic and might be complete within one week. Or they might be more complex with a longer timeline. We happily accommodate rush-rated projects based on our schedule.
