Professional WordPress Installation
Installation and configuration
There are thousands of tutorials on the Internet to walk you through a new installation to setup WordPress. Basic WordPress set up is not hard, but some people do not want to take the time to learn how to do it properly.
I have installed, secured and setup hundreds of WordPress websites. There is a right and wrong way. “One click installations” will install it quickly, but as far as properly configuring for security, “one click” does not address it. Hire an experienced WordPress developer to get your site set up and configured.

Blog Setup for Small Business and Non Profits
Following a tutorial you find on the Internet may get you through installation,
but consider these details that need to be addressed too.
Securing your Installation
Fully securing your WordPress installation is a must. Out of the box, WordPress is not secure.
Disaster Recovery
Setup automatic, regular WordPress code and database backups.
Theme customization
Importing a theme demo is easy enough. Customizing it to your needs is more complicated.
Performance
Google (and users!) like fast websites. You need to optimize WordPress to improve how fast pages load.
WordPress Theme Installation and Customization
Beyond setting a up WordPress theme, there is a lot of customization that can be done. Did you buy a WordPress theme and need help setting it up? Do you need help configuring it to look like the demo? I will properly configure it with a child theme so any customization will be safe from updates.
People ask me how to get a WordPress theme on GoDaddy, Hostgator or Bluehost. The web host doesn’t matter. Running WordPress is the same process regardless of the host. Read about my theme customization services here.
Work described here is with the WordPress.org version of WordPress. This version is open source software that is downloaded and installed on a web host. The WordPress.com version is a hosted solution, meaning you sign up for a service, and use their web hosting and software. WordPress is already installed with this service.
