Website Solution Plans

New WordPress Website Builds

There are usually 2 groups of people who benefit from a new WordPress site build.  Those who are building a website for the first time, and those whose current site is beyond saving.  Both of these groups of people have the same need—the need for their content to be presented effectively on the web—and to have the ability to manage that content.  WordPress is our forte here at Website Solutions.  We build many new sites for people and convert many old HTML sites into something that you can manage yourself.  Website Solutions makes a great development company for a website project if it is a WordPress site that you desire.

WordPress Theme Refreshes

One of the best aspects of having a WordPress site is that you are free to change the look and feel of the site while preserving every word of your content.  This means if you are tired of how your site looks, changing the appearance does not require a new site “from scratch.”  If your WordPress site leaves something to be desired from a visual/aesthetics standpoint, you may benefit greatly by a theme refresh rather than a completely new site.

Day-to-day WordPress Tasks

WordPress is wonderful in that you do not HAVE to pay someone to make changes to the content on your site.  However, life happens and there are times when your resources are stretched to the max and important website work is lurking.  We invite you to take advantage of our staff when those times arise.  Send us your to-do list and we will take care of your website tasks.  We can help you with almost anything, including but far from limited to:

-getting new users set up

-creating step-by-step how-to guides on tasks you may be stuck on

-send us the content and we can get your new pages created and published

-creating attractive banners for rotating banner spaces or header images

-theme customizations/CSS coding (changes that go beyond the basic functions you may know)

-plugin updates and bug fixes

Our Signature WordPress Website Maintenance Plans

Many companies have a website but no one on staff to manage it.  Aside from content updates, websites are living/breathing entities from the standpoint of upkeep and require regular maintenance to keep them running smoothly.  Updates are released regularly to both your site’s theme and plugins.  Databases can become large from normal traffic and active elements such as banners and forms.  Issues can develop that can lead to a major drag on your site’s speed, performance and in many cases–sales.

Website Solutions offers a comprehensive solution for WordPress websites that solves this problem.  We treat your site in the same way a hired employee would only in a much more budget-friendly way.  Our Website Service Plans are designed to give your site the attention it needs on a regular basis to help things run smoothly over time.  Here is a breakdown of all that the website Website Service Plan covers:

  • Hosting fees (if you choose to host your site with us)
  • Regular updates to your theme
  • Regular plugin updates
  • Database optimizing
  • Site and host cache clearing
  • Hosting liaison (Host with a 3rd party?  We’ll be the ones to sit on hold and work with them until your site’s issues are fixed)
  • Comp time to cover minor tweaks, adds and revisions to your content and to respond to the inevitable issues that come up over time.

The size of your plan depends on the a few different things–mainly the size of your website.  Take a look at our quote calculator if you haven’t already done so to get a ballpark idea of the plans we can offer.

If you are in the market for a new website and haven’t budgeted for the large upfront expense to have one built for you, you may qualify to have your site built with no up front costs due when you add a website service plan for your site.  That means you get a brand new site at no upfront cost, built-in hosting fees (if you choose to host with us), and regular on-going maintenance to keep your site fresh and optimally running for a single, budget-friendly monthly payment.

SEO Boost

The internet is constantly changing.  Positioning your site to be retrieved by search engines is key to making sure you are being found online.  Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is essentially the work that is done to your site and its content that allows search engines such as Google to communicate with your site easier.   So, when someone searches for a particular term, it is YOUR site that Google pings to display in the search results.  A big component of SEO depends on the quantity and quality of your site’s content, but there are many other tasks that can be done to enhance your position within search results.  That’s where we come in.

 

Google continues to evolve their Search Engine Optimization (SEO) parameters, it is becoming more important for businesses to move to a platform in which their site will not be lost in searches.  Companies can no longer afford to not be found on the internet.  There are many ways this can be fixed with an SEO add-on project for an existing site.

Digital Form Development

Do you have information that you would like to collect from users?  Maybe you are looking to create a way for people to sign up for an event, enroll in a program or provide you valuable feedback on a particular service.  Digital forms are a great way to collect this type of data from users.

Digitizing forms is also a great way to move your records away from paper—and into the digital realm.  Along with giving your users the ability to fill out forms online, you also gain many valuable tools that will allow you to collect the digitized responses from your users and turn them into usable spreadsheets like Microsoft Excel.  Implementing an automated digital form can yield huge time-saving benefits for you and your staff by collecting all form response data and exporting it into an Excel sheet with a single click.

Hosting Liason

We work with GoDaddy, Network Solutions and a host of other companies on a regular basis.  We also cover the hosting fees for all WordPress clients who are on maintenance plans with us.  To everyone else,  we offer basic hosting packages that will include the hosting-related maintenance tasks for your website such as caching, backups and DNS management.

FAQ

Do you offer graphic design services?

Yes!  Websites are our forte here, but we are in the graphic design programs daily.  If you need a logo clean up or a vector file made, just let us know.  

Someone else built my site, can Website Solutions still maintain it?

Absolutely!  As long as it’s a WordPress site, we can maintain it for you.  All we would need is a user account set up and we would be good to go.  (We can even walk you through that process if you’re unsure how to do that).

Can Website Solutions build a site without a maintenance plan?

We can!  Sometimes businesses have the proper marketing/sales/tech personel in place to manage a site once it’s done.  We can always run a new site build through as a project then turn over the keys when it’s launched.

What are your turn around times?

We typically respond to emails quickly.  We often turn around minor content revisions same day.  Depending on the size of your site, we can complete a website project in as little as a week.  We will let you know of any lead times prior to starting all projects.

What can I use my comp time on?

If you have a maintenance plan from us, we will comp up to 1-hour of time each month to take care of anything extra that comes up.  If your “extra” takes longer, we will comp the first hour of work on your project before any extra billing takes place to ensure that you receive this benefit.

How does billing work?

Your site might go through multiple revisions before you’re ready to launch. We’ll see you through this process to make sure the product aligns with your vision.

Billing will begin 30-days after the site has been completed or at the time it is launched–whichever comes first.
