WordPress Site Setup

(Get this free! Read on.)

BlogAid installs WordPress manually and never uses a 1-click installation because it is not secure and can be hacked. Special files are added to the root directory to further secure your site.

BlogAid can securely load WordPress and your theme onto your hosting account, plus perform all set up duties to make your site turn-key and ready for you to use day one. Includes all of the following:

• Perform a secure installation of WordPress
• Upload your theme and setting preferences
• Protect your passwords
• Protect your database
• Install, register, and configure plugins for anti-spam and site backup
• Install a secure contact form
• Install and optimize Google Analytics
• Install and optimize RSS Feeds with Feedburner
  
• Provide you with a full site security document containing all of the information about your site, plugin registration, and account registration information for any third-party software used on your site. (You’ll find this information invaluable in the future if you ever want to change hosts or designers. And, most designers who offer hosting at a discount won’t even give you this info.)

With a BlogAid installation, you get to choose your own user name and password. You can request that we retain them on file in case you ever need help with your site in the future.

Website Evaluation and Review

Already have a site? Let BlogAid give you an expert review of your site and show you specific ways you can improve it. You’ll receive a thorough 20 point check including site security, plugins, setup, and SEO.

Together, we’ll also check your site layout, content, and formatting. There is no single right way to make a website successful. It depends on what appeals most to your target audience. I’ll keep you and your viewers in mind while doing your review.

We’ll use secure desktop sharing that will allow us to look at your site together in real-time while we’re on the phone. We’ll cover all of the elements that are just right on your site, those that could use a little help, as well as new layout and technology ideas to improve usability and function. You’ll also be provided with written documentation of your 20 point check and advice for making your site better.

Consultation

Got website ideas or concerns? Would you just feel better chatting with a geek buddy before you spend a lot of money and time on a project?

You’ll get answers in plain English, plus all the options available to easily accomplish what you’re trying to do. And, I’ll show you how not to get ripped off in the process.

There’s a reason why I enjoy long-term relationships with my clients, why they keep coming back to me for more projects, and why they refer me to their clients and friends.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is a free service that allows you to track a wealth of information about your site including:

• How many viewers have visited your site
• What sites are sending you visitors, including social media sites like Facebook and Twitter
• How long visitors stayed on your site
• How many pages your visitors read
• The pages that are drawing the most interest

RSS Feeds

Automatically deliver your blog posts to where your readers can find them with RSS feeds. BlogAid can setup your site feed to be delivered via FeedBurner, which is a free yet robust service that can:

• Syndicate your posts to multiple sites
• Automatically update your Facebook page with your latest post
• Deliver your posts to your readers directly via email
• Make your posts available on popular feed readers like Google Reader
• Auto-detect the device your viewers are using and format your posts accordingly
• Instantly notify Google that you have a new post, getting it indexed the same day

Local Listings and Geo-Targeting

If most of your clients are local, you need to get your business listed with Google Maps/Places.

BlogAid manually lists your business and optimizes that listing for maximum results. We’ll also give you all log in information so you can track how many hits you receive from that listing.
