WordPress Web Design Services

Here at The Website Guy, even though it is not our first website builder of choice, we offer WordPress website design via the self-hosted WordPress.com platform. Here is our review of WP.com.

WordPress: A full fledged CMS based website you can manage is built via WordPress. We build your site using WordPress.com proprietary block editor. Cost = $995 for 5 - 10 pages (free, starter, or premium wp plans and do not include cost of adding products, theme / builder, other plugins, domain or hosting). If we upgrade you to a business plan, so that we can add plugins (including Yoast SEO, cost = $2250). Note, we do not call ourselves WordPress experts - yet - and depending on the plan chosen, exactly what you are looking for may or may not be possible, but we'll do our absolute best and provide support resources to do the rest.

Security: Because WordPress is a popular website platform, it is popular to hack. We suggest ensuring the right host with the right security products is chosen. If not WordPress.com (self hosted) our host of choice is GoDaddy's Managed WordPress Hosting with an SSL certificate included and automatic malware scanning and removal.

Support: Support is paramount when it comes to WordPress websites because like all "living organisms", it is bound to get sick and only the right doctor will know how to fix it. WordPress.com has premium support or we like to use the stellar services of WP-FixIt.

AI: WordPress.com has an AI tool used to assist in the website design process, however it is not the end all be all for website design. One must still review the AI tools work for completeness, compliance, and adherence to the rules of web design and SEO. Here is more info on what WP.com says about it.

Of course we enjoy NOT being just another "WordPress developer". You can even argue that we help our clients get out of their vulnerable cms websites by using our signature desktop website builder with built in security and backups.
