Selections

WordPress is a premier site building platform and blogging tool with an abundant selection of themes to choose from. Community Website Solutions offers two choices of WordPress packages -- basic and magazine-styled.

This site option is an excellent choice for small businesses, civic groups, personal sites, and even organizations that don't require a complex content configuration. Although WordPress sites offer a variety of options, they are not recommended for complex sites with a large amount of content, such as a municipal or tourism site. Joomla! is a much better choice for such sites.

The basic WordPress site setup package is priced at $300 and the magazine-styled WordPress site package is priced at $400. Both packages include:

• Initial domain registration (first two years)
• Up to 10 email accounts
• WordPress installation
• Theme installation and set up
• Formatting and uploading photos and articles provided by client for initial setup

Community Website Solutions develops websites using templates from two of the top server-based platforms available: WordPress and Joomla! Depending upon the needs of your site, we will assist you in selecting which platform is best for you.

Basic Package:

WordPress is a high-caliber blogging platform with many characteristics of a Content Management System (CMS). It is excellent for clients who wish to post new content on a frequent basis, such as a blog, yet it allows pages that hold static information for your readers to refer back to as needed. Many individuals and small businesses find that WordPress suits their purposes perfectly.

Deluxe Package:

Joomla! is the ultimate server-based CMS, allowing clients to "pick and choose" what content is displayed on which page, and in many cases (depending upon the template), where on the page that information will be placed. It is best for clients who have a wide variety of content, such as an online magazine, churches, or community tourism sites.

When selecting themes and templates for use on client sites, Community Website Solutions selected only the best designs -- those that are not only attractive and easily navigated by site visitors, but those that function well. Many template and theme designers include a lot of "gadgets" that don't always work well. The templates and themes we have purchased for our clients' use do what they're designed to do -- work for you.
