You are a valued customer. Thank you!
Your shiny new website has now been delivered and there are some things that you may like to know (such as website maintenance and adding/editing content etc) to keep it ticking along in tip-top shape…
Your website is built upon the WordPress platform which is the most powerful CMS (Content Management System) available. In fact over 36% of all websites on the internet are powered by WordPress and companies such as Disney Spotify Airbnb Sony Music Time NBC and even Mercedes Benz put their trust in it.
Below you will find a series of video and written tutorials which will show you how to access the admin area of your website add new content or edit existing content access visitor stats access form submissions and basically give you a more rounded knowledge base about how your website operates. Having this general knowledge is great and will help you with administering your website but of course you can always contact me direct for any further advice or assistance.
Generally I have a policy to complimentarily carry out any content adjustment/additions design tweaks adding media WordPress/plugin updates etc for up to 6 months after the website hand-over. After this period I still am very generous with my time and most smaller items I can help you with however any larger items or additions that you request will be charged at a nominal rate.
(Also to note: You’ll notice that some of the tutorial videos are from iThemes. iThemes is a WordPress plugin company and provide the excellent security and backup functions on your website)
What is WordPress?
How to Log Into WordPress?
Your personal login credentials would have been already sent to you in a separate email. Please note that unlike the video the login URL for your website will be yoursite.com/mylogin (replacing “yoursite.com” with your website domain). The slight difference is to “hide” the login URL from automated bots and spam programs and helps with overall site security.
What Are WordPress Plugins?
How to Install a WordPress Plugin?
(This is good general knowledge but mostly the required/necessary plugins used in the functioning of your website have already been installed and calibrated)
WordPress Pages Vs Posts
Understanding the difference between a Worpress Page and a WordPress Post. When to (or not to) use both.
