Accelerate Your Launch: Partially Managed WordPress Design & Setup

What’s Included in Your Design & Setup Package:

1. Professional Design & Theme Customization:

   • We work collaboratively with you to establish the perfect “look and feel” for your brand. This includes selecting and professionally customizing a high-quality WordPress theme to align with your logo, colour palette, and brand identity. (Theme licensing costs may be additional, or you can provide your preferred theme).

2. Core 5-Page Website Structure Setup:

   • We build the essential framework for your site. This typically includes setting up pages like Home, About Us, Services (or equivalent), Contact, and a Blog landing page. These pages will feature the agreed-upon design, ready for you to insert your text and images.

3. Blog Functionality Ready:

   • Ready to share your expertise or news? We configure the WordPress blog functionality, ensuring it matches your site’s design and is ready for you to start publishing posts immediately.

4. Product Page Example & Basic E-commerce Setup (if applicable):

   • Planning to sell online? If using WooCommerce, we’ll perform the basic setup and create one sample product page layout. This serves as a reusable template, making it simple for you to add your full range of products with consistent styling.

5. WordPress Core & Essential Plugin Installation:

   • We ensure WordPress is installed correctly on your hosting (Miller Trades hosting recommended) and set up a foundation of essential plugins for basic SEO readiness, security hardening, and performance optimization.

6. Mobile-Responsive Implementation:

   • Your website foundation will be designed to look and function beautifully across all devices – desktops, tablets, and smartphones.

7. Handover & Guidance:

   • We provide a clear handover, including basic guidance or a walkthrough showing you how to navigate the WordPress dashboard to add/edit content within the structure we’ve created (pages, posts, and the product template).

The Process:

1. Consultation: We start with a discussion about your business, brand, target audience, and design preferences.
2. Design Implementation: Miller Trades selects/customizes the theme and builds the core page structures.
3. Review: You review the design foundation and provide feedback.
4. Refinement & Setup: We make necessary design adjustments and finalize the setup.
5. Handover: We provide you with login details and guidance to start adding your content.

Benefits:

• Professional Look, Faster: Launch with a polished, credible design without weeks of DIY trial-and-error.
• Save Time & Reduce Stress: Let us handle the technical setup and design nuances.
• Clear Structure: Get a logically organized website ready for your content strategy.
• Cost-Effective Expertise: Access professional design skills focused on the foundational elements.
• Empowerment: Easily manage and update your own content on a professionally built base.

What “Partially Managed” Means for You (Your Role After Handover):

This package provides the design framework and initial setup. You will be responsible for:

• Writing, creating, and adding all specific text content to the pages.
• Sourcing, optimizing, and uploading all website images.
• Creating and publishing individual blog posts.
• Adding all your products (details, descriptions, images, pricing) using the example template.
• Ongoing website maintenance: updating WordPress core, themes, and plugins.
• Implementing ongoing SEO strategies and marketing efforts.

This Package Is Ideal For:

• Orillia-based and Canadian businesses/individuals who value professional design but want hands-on control over their content.
• Users comfortable with learning the basics of adding content via the WordPress editor.
• Clients who have their branding (logo, colours) and content (text, images, product info) planned or ready to create.
• Those seeking a middle ground between a fully DIY website and a comprehensive custom development project.

Prerequisites:

• Active web hosting (Miller Trades hosting recommended for seamless integration) and domain name registration.
• Your logo file and any specific brand guidelines (colours, fonts).
