Wordpress
Wordpress is one of the best platforms available to business owners! It offers a flexible platform to create your unique presence on the internet, while offering an easy way to maintain that presence. No one likes a website that is static – nice way of saying “old and dated”.
I often start with a blank slate…building the site with you based on your style & business needs. With the flexibility of themes and templates, we can also start with a pre-built framework. Doing this helps speed up the design process, and keep a project within your budget without compromising quality, functionality, design and style.

Wordpress Plugin Integration
Wordpress is one of the best platforms not only because of how easy it is to manage, but also because of how powerful it can be. Premium plugins, added into your site, can take a simple blog into an e-commerce site, large forum community and more. You might already have a website, but you need someone to help integrate a premium plugin to expand it into something more. I have worked with hundreds of premium plugins like WooCommerce (membership, subscriptions, etc.), recipe plugins, business directories and more.
Packages start at $300 and up
The cost will depend on the premium plugin you need integrated and the level of customization you would like. Below are some examples of what I have worked on, but the list is extensive so please inquire if you want to see some examples or want to have a custom quote given for your project.
- WooCommerce integration, for selling physical or virtual products, starts at $450 (membership , subscription & other premium extensions will be additional)
- Business directory integration starts at $300 (for example, Web 2.0 Directory from CodeCanyon)
- Community/Forum integration starts at $400 (for example, BuddyPress)
- Recipe integration, perfect for food blogs & websites, starts at $300 (for example, Ultimate Recipe plugin)
- So many more…if you have a plugin, and don’t know where to get started setting it up, let’s chat!
Hosted Platforms
I also work with other “hosted” platforms, like Adobe Business Catalyst, Shopify, BigCommerce, BigCartel, WIX and more. These are completely hosted CMS platforms that can offer everything a small to large business needs for their web presence while making things easy to manage.
Many of these platforms work off of “themes”, that can give us a foundation to start with. Sometimes you want to go “outside of the box”, or don’t have the time to address customizing a theme, and that is where I come in. Whether you need small changes to your site, or want a custom design so your website does not look “cookie cutter” – let’s work together to make it happen.
