A note on WordPress:
If you do anything online or have skills which need promoting then it goes without saying you should probably have a website. There are many routes to achieve this but the most practical and easiest is via WordPress. Why WordPress?
- It’s used by over 22% of the top 10 million websites. (Cite: WordPress Stats)
- More than 60 million bloggers use it
- Large brands and businesses depend on it. (Cite: Notable Large WordPress Users)
- Customisable with thousands of Plugins
- Wide variety of off-the-shelf Themes
- Easy to use and maintain
- Relatively tech-free
That said it still needs some basic skills to set up, create the look personal to your needs, and maintain over time. However, if you already know how to email, tweet, or post on Facebook then you can manage your own WordPress-based site once it has been created. If you want to know more take a look at the FAQs.
What is WordPress?
WordPress is a free and open source blogging tool and a content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL. Features include a plugin architecture and a template system.
Is it suitable if I don't Blog?
WordPress was designed originally for blogging but it’s architecture allows any kind of use that you’d see for any business or personal needs. It could your online shop, creative portfolio, CV, personal work, photography collection. The options are as rich and varied as you.
Is it expensive?
No. If you’re technically more able you can create your own website easily. You will have to research all the best options, themes, customisation plugins, and host the website somewhere. Many people prefer to focus on what they want the website for – not the making of the website itself. It’s therefore cost-effective to get someone like me to get you started. Once you’re up and running what you do next is up to you. It’ll be fun.
What about Social Media?
Integration is key. If you already use various Social Media apps such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest etc. then these can be simply integrated into your website. What you post on the website can be seen on your SM account and vice versa. This is all done behind the scenes. Once it’s set up you don’t need to worry about updates.
Can I integrate my mailing list?
Yes. By using a free service like MailChimp (up to 12,000 newsletters/month and 2,000 subscribers). You can easily add new subscribers to your list via a simple opt-in screen which connects directly with MailChimp. All this works in the background with your WordPress-based website.
What about other Design skills?
Of course. Take a look at the Portfolio pages to see the range of work. Design for Print, Online, and Product. From the most basic flyer to animated banners, animation and simple 3D. All cost-effective and working with your budgets. Here’s a list of some extras you might need:
- Facebook page design and integration
- Twitter page design and integration
- Social Media management – managing how and when you communicate
- Online shops
- Design for Print
- Product Design and Branding
