WordPress Installation, Configuration & Customization Social Web Media will take on all aspects of the project from registering a domain name to hosting your website, installing Google analytics and ensuring your website is SEO optimized. We will install & configure the most up-to-date version of WordPress and give you full access. We can use and modify a WordPress theme you’ve selected and purchased, or customize a theme licensed with Social Web Media. We use Elegant Themes – Divi as the customization possibilities are endless no matter what industry you represent. Website design and function will be customized to suit your needs. You own your website outright and you’re free to do with it whatever you please.
Every website is custom designed based on the client’s budget, needs, industry, design elements and desired functions (plugins). After an initial consultation Social Web Media will provide a personalized quote.
Following is an example of a basic, professional small business or individual owner website.
Complete Custom Site Breakdown of the Cost Elements1. Step One – Technical ($200 – $300)
Design is based on goals, industry and desired function of the site. For instance, Realtors often have featured listings or require DDF ® installation and design. I often ask clients to give me a list of sites they really like to get an idea of taste. I will give you feedback on your selections depending on what your business goals are. I can modify a WordPress template you like or completely customize a basic building template such as Elegant Themes “Divi”. Cost variable here are dependent on design requirements such as custom banners, logos, sidebars etc.
3. Step Three – Development ($500 – $2500)
The largest variable in price and where you can save the most money. Development is primarily about content and the home page. The costs can add up if the designer also has to do the writing so the more content you supply the better. Client supplied images, written content (even point form) and logos / graphics can keep costs down
4. Step Four – Review & Launch ($200 – $700)
Hosting – Clients can use their own hosting (I always recommend hosts that specialize in WordPress) or go on Social Web Media’s Cloud Server with monthly maintenance services. Monthly Maintenance includes regular website backups, uptime monitoring and WordPress and plugins updates. WordPress plugins should be kept up-to-date to avoid security and performance issues.
