A WordPress Website
Because for whatever reason, you want/need a website, but you don’t want to spend a fortune
I create – five pages: About, Contact, Home, and up to two other pages of your choice.
What do I get in my Website?
What I Create/ You Get:
1. Five pages: About, Contact, Home, and up to two other pages of your choice, filled with whatever text and images you give to me. (If you don’t have text and images ready yet, I will put in “filler” info that you can change later.)
2. A blog: Your site will include a blog unless you specifically tell me you don’t want it. Blogs are great for multiple reasons. Not only are they search engine magnets, but they allow you or anyone else in your company to easily add fresh content that readers or prospects can keep coming back to check on, or even subscribe to receive updates through email.
3. A contact form: This will allow people to contact you easily.
4. A unique look: You’ll pick the “theme” of your blog, which will determine its’ look. You tell me which theme to use and I’ll put it up for you.
5. Helpful plug-ins: “Plug-ins” are essentially little software programs that make your blog work better. I’ll install these for you:
- Akismet – protects your blog/site from comment and trackback spam
- All in One SEO Pack – gets you started with search engines
- AntiVirus – protects your blog/site against exploits and spam injections
- Digg Digg – All in one social networking buttons
- Disqus Comment System – The standard comment management system can’t even compare
- Google XML Sitemaps – Generates a special XML sitemap which will help search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing and Ask.com to better index your blog/site
Pricing:
- Base Price – $150 (¥950)
- If you already bought hosting, because I can’t send you through my link, there’s a $50 charge to your overall payment – $50 (¥317)
- Aweber Email mailing list setup – $100 (¥630)
- Premium Theme: Headway (includes theme) – $100 (¥630)
Just remember that for this price, I can’t do additional services, customize sidebar widgets, or design logos, but am willing to work together on whatever you’d like for an additional fee. It will still be cheaper than any other website design service delivering this kind of quality.
What Will You Have To Do?
Hopefully not much. You’ll just need to spend a few minutes getting your hosting (which you’ll do after receiving my instructions) and deciding which theme you’d like me to use.
As an optional step, you could send me whatever text and images you’d like to use on the site, on which pages. Please note that if you don’t have content for your site yet, I’ll put in “filler” content, which you’ll be able to replace later. This allows you to get set up immediately, without having to wait until you have every single one of your ideas down on paper.
Additional Costs
If your blog or site is a “family”, the content you put in it would be the “people”, and the hosting would be the “house”. You’ll need hosting for your new site because it needs space online in which to “live”, which is true of every website.
I’ll direct you to a hosting plan that can cost as little as $4/month, but which is more commonly $7/month. Also domain name will cost you around $10 per year. (Again, you’ll do this after receiving my instructions.)
Time Frame
Assuming everything goes smoothly, you’ll be up and running in about a week!

Frequently-Asked Questions:
Q: Can you explain “hosting”? What do I get, and how much does it cost?
A: If you don’t have hosting, you’ll do it after receiving my instructions.
But after you buy the blog setup, I’ll direct you to a GoDaddy plan that can cost as little as $4/month, but which is more commonly $7/month. (Please note that in order to qualify for the base price, you will need to pay for the full year (not monthly) and cannot use promo codes other than the one I provide.)
Domain names are around $10 per year.
Q: Can you still set up my blog if I already have hosting?
A: Yes, but because I won’t get the hosting affiliate commission that subsidizes the normal price, it’ll cost you an additional charge.
Q: What is the “additional charge”?
A: If your hosting is on GoDaddy then it’s usually $50.



I'm a 23 year old college grad, and during my junior year abroad in Scotland, I came to the realization that it's hard to know what you want to do in this world if you've never seen it. With that in mind, I decided to study abroad again during the 2011-12 academic year, this time in Beijing, China. Read more
