WildWebDesigner.com: Tech support just got easier!

Tech support made simple!

Are you a WildWebDesigner.com client?

A new option for our clients to get tech support has been installed. As with most things WordPress, “there is a plugin for that”, definitely applies.

My clients have always been able to just send me an email, or call, for tech support, but, this will save them some time. I have to say that most of the time if one of my clients needs help, it is for me to do a theme modification, a color change, or something of that nature, but this plugin will make it easier no matter what they need.

So, from now on, when I build a site for someone, this tech support plugin will be installed. I have been asked why, let me paint a picture here, you are in the middle of writing an article, and need a new category, but for some reason, you have forgotten how to do this, now, just go to the dashboard, fill out the quick form, then hit “submit report”, let me know what the problem is, and save the draft, done. Then, once I get the email, I will add the category and publish it for you, simple.

That example was over simplified, but whatever the issue, you can send a tech support report and not have to look for my email address or phone number.

Recent Projects: OpinionHead.com has a new look!

OpinionHead.com is my baby, and every time I get bored with a look, I change it, so, I can imagine that many others could want a fresh new look for their web domains, after all, why not?

One of those things that no-one ever agrees on, is changing the look of a business website, once users get familiar with one look, why change it? My reason is that just like anything else, you get tired of looking at the same ole thing all of the time. Another reason is that new features come along and to add them, you must make a change or two anyway, so, change everything while your at it.

I many cases, the cost to a client is minimal, compared to a new set up, most of the work is already done so the changes are mostly cosmetic and take less time.

Anyone looking to get a face-lift for their current WordPress site, let me know, and what you want, and I will fix it up for you. Any new clients looking for the most modern CMS website on the net should just drop me a quick note or call anytime, my rates are affordable, hosting and management may be  included.

We Fix 5 Dollar Websites!

I am sure that you have seen the ads for the 5 dollar websites, go take a look at what you get, 5 pages, and that is just a plain Jane .html site, which is not a bad thing if that is what you want. When you use WordPress, you get unlimited pages! Always remember, you get what you pay for, or, you should anyway.

My point is simple, if you only want a $5 website, and you don’t mind investing the time it will take to build it, then go for it, but, if you have a business, and you want to maximize your investment, it will cost you more than 5 bucks in your time alone.

In fact, if you are so intent, on getting a $5 website, we’ll give you one! This is a very limited time offer, if you follow this link to the BustinLooseHosting.com order form, and sign up, from now until the end of July, 2010, I will personally set up a FREE  basic WordPress website for you! Keep in mind, this will include installation of WordPress, and your choice of FREE theme here, and, if you prepay for the 2 year Economizer plan, you’ll even get the Domain Registration for FREE! While you are on our hosting site, look at the other plans, which are designed for a “real world” situation.

In fact, what the other guys won’t tell you, is that the real objective is to get you to purchase one of their upgrades or to visit their “design pro’s”, which, I can assure you, will cost you way more than 5 bucks. They may not have it written, but I do, I want you to sign up for one of my upgrade plans, and hire me to build your custom WordPress theme, so that you can be proud of what you have.

No matter what you decide, if you need help, give us a call, where the other guys won’t, we will, just to make sure that you get what you need.

CaldwellTowneCentre: Our latest project!

When it comes to building websites, I am passionate about what I do, and, with my new office, comes new websites. This site, CaldwellTowneCentre.com, is my contribution to the community, that is, the community of the Towne Centre, we are several businesses located behind K’s Cafe, on the square, in downtown Caldwell, Texas.

No, there are no fancy office buildings in Caldwell, no high-rises or anything like that, Caldwell is a small community, and if you are in this area, you are familiar with the term, “On the Square”, which means basically, by the Courthouse, the roads that surround it form a square, and on the square is K’s Cafe, we are in that building, and the area where these offices are, is called the Towne Centre. With that explained, this site is a place to showcase these businesses, and if they have a website of their own, to link to that website. So, if you are in our area, come on by and visit!

BustinLooseHosting is now Live!

We have now completed (all but the fine tuning and content) our Hosting website, BustinLooseHosting.com.You will notice that BustinLooseMedia, BustinLooseHosting, and this site, WildWebDesigner.com, all have the same black brick, background, this has been done for a reason, this brick signifies the barriers that can prevent some small business owners from setting up a quality, dynamic, database driven website, where they can add as many new content containing posts or pages as they desire, thus providing more opportunities for the search engines to bring them even more new customers!

Bustin’ Loose defines my philosophy on what it takes to break free from the old restrictive way of doing things, such as a business that needs to break free from the hassles that operating a website can bring.

While any website can be of some value, a properly designed WordPress based site can offer things that a plane jane, old fashioned .html site cannot. There are many services out there for these “easy” sites, and yes, they are “cheap”, but, you get what you pay for, or, at least you should. With a modern, Web 2.0, dynamic database driven site, that uses a custom .css stylesheet, that makes adding new pages easy, you no longer have to pay a web designer to add each page for you, it is as simple as sending an email, just type, add images, select a category, and hit publish and it is done. A dynamic site also allows for interaction with your sites visitors, they may leave a comment about your products or services, which will encourage later site visitors to do business with you. If you sell products, you can also add this feature to your site and have a new source of sales as well that way, and, with WordPress, you may be able to use a simple plugin, and not even need an expensive shopping cart.

I could go on and on about the benefits of using WordPress as a Content Management System (CMS), but, the biggest, and best reasons are in it’s simplicity, affordability, and design, it just works better! Most plugins and themes are free, though donations are encouraged to help further development, and since WordPress is an active Open Source community, the future technologies are sure to be built in.

If you are a small business owner, you need a modern, customizable web-presence that can grow with your business, a Web Designer  and Host that is there for you, and will help you reach your goals, take a look at us, we are on your side and will help you Break Free!
