Building a secure and fully functioning business website is a major undertaking. The initial web consultation includes a review of your long term business goals and if needed an assessment of your current business website. (We specialize in recovering hacked Wordpress websites).
The following are a series of 32 steps for building a real business website. To make the process easier to understand, we have divided these 32 steps into 4 stages each with 8 steps. Some of these steps we can simply do for you. But with most of these steps, we recommend setting up a series of 1 to 2 hour appointments - so we can show you how these steps are done as we complete them together. It will take about 40 hours of our time and 20 hours of your time to provide you with a complete business website.

Savings on Ongoing Costs… While many business web development tools have huge hidden costs that can amount to thousands of dollars per year in additional fees, we have carefully selected tools to minimize the ongoing cost of your business website. Nearly all the tools we recommend are free open source tools that have no ongoing cost. The only initial costs are $10 for a Domain Name and $30 for a Payment Gateway plugin. The only ongoing cost is about $10 per month for web hosting. By investing your time initially to learn how to use these free open source web development tools, you will save yourself and your business thousands of dollars in the long run (in addition to having a much more secure business website that is completely under your control and very easy to manage).
