WordPress Sites
WordPress is a content management system for websites. It is considered the most used and supported content management system currently in use. Websites running content management systems can be technically managed in the background by an experienced administrator, and content can be easily added and edited by users without requiring a skill level much higher than that needed for most social media platforms. This makes them a great choice for a website you can add to or update easily without having to worry about all the technical stuff.

Website Management/Admin
If adding or editing content is infrequent, it may be more cost-effective to have your site managed than maintain site management skills for yourself or staff.
Training
If you are managing your content and find online support documents a bit daunting or you are stuck, I can provide training either one-on-one or in small groups to help you get started or get you over a bump. These are usually online & teleconference, but in-person may be possible in some situations
Domain registration support
Having your domain name requires finding a registry, choosing names and extensions, registering and pointing the name to your host. This can be straightforward for some, but not for everyone. I can walk you through this, or in some cases, set it up for you.
Email addresses @yourdomain
There are plenty of great free email services out there, but usually, they require the use of the provider’s domain. Some services can be set up to use your domain for a fee. I can help set up email addresses using your domain
No Obligation Consultation
Here we can discuss your vision and ideas and look at what I can do to meet these. There is no obligation or cost to this apart from your time. You may decide to go ahead or not and that is ok, as long as you get value from the consultation. Or from our discussion you may gain insights that lead you going in a completely different direction altogether.

My Process
Define
Let's get an idea of your vision and how we can best represent or actualise that online. We can brainstorm this together and work out what we need to pull it all together
create
I create an overview of your site (online or offline) to share with you so you can get a better idea of what it might look like in the real-online world.
Refine
We make changes to the site or plan to better suit your vision. This may also happen on an ongoing basis for continual improvement
deploy
When you are happy with your site or plan we release it into the wild (making it live on the net)
maintain
I provide documentation, training and ongoing support & maintenance as required to help you evolve your site as you or your organisation evolves.
Contact Guidance
I work online from home, have no set hours and do not actively monitor my phone. The best way to contact me is by email, but you can also leave a voice or text message for when I do check my phone.
I am not currently set up to do business outside Australia
