WordPress Website Building, Refurbishing, and Technical Development

Want a website that will both look great and also be a real asset for your business, and you need to be able to run it yourself without an expensive agency retainer?

Or are you lacking features and do not know who you can trust to add them?

Things like

  • Configuring your blog for SEO and newsletter for maxiumum lead generation,
  • Add an Ecommerce store or sell digital products,
  • Set up a membership or an online course,
  • Building, integrating, and configuring your CRM or email marketing service,
  • or creating high-converting landing pages, custom forms, and automated sales funnels?

“I wanted someone who was really good at what they do. Someone who could help me get from 0 to 200 overnight.

And as if that were not enough, I wanted not just one blog up, but four of them, in a span of a few months.

Chris Garrett stepped up to the plate. And hes been effective from day one. Hes advised us what we can do in terms of technology. In terms of the nitty-gritty of blogging. And kept us updated on the bits and pieces that help create a blog thats a lot different from all those blogs out there.

And thats why Id recommend Chris. When he created our first blog, we were impressed. Impressed enough to create another. And another. And another.

You could say, Im a satisfied customer. Im sure you’ll find Chris’ talents and abilities will work for your business just as well.”

When you choose me as your web developer, you dont just get a fantastic website built on best-practices from a real marketing technologist, you get all the long-term help you need to attract an engaged audience of your most wanted prospects and sell to them.

  • Identify your audience and your best routes to reaching and delighting them
  • Generate topics and categories that will draw in loyal readers
  • Incremental advice and critiques, with ideas for how you can improve
  • Training, and specific answers so you have a constant safety net in case things get too geeky!

New Website Build

If you want a new website, I have packages that provide what you need:

  • WordPress installation and configuration, Premium Theme selection and customization, plus essential plugins and settings.
  • Everything configured and optimized for SEO best practice and user experience.
  • Main pages/landing pages set up (Home, blog, services, contact, about, 404, terms/privacy, etc). In most cases even if you are moving content from a different content management system, using some custom coding trickery I can also transfer your posts and pages to your new site without manual copy and paste.
  • Uploads and backups with your chosen hosting service (I can advise or even host on my server).
  • Going live with your domain (from registration through to secure certificates, and configuring your website with email correctly in domain name services).
  • Integrating third-party services such as email, newsletters, and analytics.
  • E-Commerce stores, online courses, membership sites, or digital products sales and downloads capability based on your needs.
  • All strategic planning and training (content planning, SEO strategy, product creation/monetization, and so on).

What Good is a Business Website With No Customers? Invest in a Useful Lead Generation Tool!

With most website builders, all you get is the design and maybe some software installed, then you are left on your own to struggle.

I go way beyond just constructing your site. Unlike other packages you might have seen, this is not just about having a working website, it is about getting what you can do presented to the world, attracting and converting visitors and fully confident in your ability to communicate with that audience.

You are not just getting a truly useful business asset, but you also get my support every step of the way before, during, and long after the build stage.

Website Project
No payment items has been selected yet

Timeframe includes estimates, consulting, specifications, and a reasonable number of changes. Project timelines can of course expand based on changes in scope, and client/external dependencies.

Ongoing Website Maintenance

Once your project is complete and you are fully trained, you are STILL not on your own. I will be here to answer questions and provide additional training if you need it.

I can also keep performing your routine maintenance to ensure your site stays in tip-top condition:

  • Daily, off-site backups.
  • Updating, patching, and maintaining your website software.
  • SEO reporting and suggested optimizations.
  • Keywords and search rankings reports.
  • Uptime monitoring.
  • Site migrations.
  • Security, vulnerability and malware scans.
  • Broken link checks.
  • Performance tune-ups, speed checks, database cleaning, and image optimizations.
  • And more as my collection of third-party and home-grown tools grows.

While any of these options can of course be done on a project basis, they are best delivered as part of a monthly service plan, and are already included for free as part of my coaching services.

Monthly services include priority support, installation of themes and plugins from my agency licenses, and 30% off any required hourly work.

Custom Web Development and Programming

“A good presence on the web is an essential part of business today. We know with our new site our customers and colleagues are going to find it much easier to keep up to date with our news, how we can help, and new services and facilities as they come online.”

— Sean Flynn, Whites Recycling

In case you had the impression I was a regular marketing guy who learned how to press some buttons, I have been coding since I was 8 years old, and building websites since the early 1990s. I got started building websites at the very beginning of the commercial web.

Not only do I build apps and websites, I have taught thousands of programmers how to code through my traditionally published books, online teaching, and my in-person classes.

Contact Chris for an Estimate

I realise your needs might be quite unique so if you have a project that does not quite fit into the above categories, contact me to discuss your situation and I will give you a project estimate.
