Ready-Made Business Website

This is a ready-made WordPress business website, not a premium demo theme.

Everything's already set up

The website already has everything installed, configured, and optimized:

• WordPress;
• Theme;
• Plugins;
• Design.

The only thing remaining is to replace the dummy content with your own content, and I can do that for you, if you wish so, because I offer on-going support.

Website Blueprint

Theme

The theme used is called Vantage, it's free, and it's developed by SiteOrigin.

I carefully picked it and made sure that it's created by well-established WordPress developers, it's well developed, well maintained, well documented, frequently updated, and supported (even the free version).

It also contains a page builder and widgets developed by SiteOrigin.

Plugins

These are the plugins that are already installed and configured:

Yoast SEO, iThemes Security, W3 Total Cache, Spam Destroyer, WP Smush, UpdraftPlus, Redirection, Revision Control, Social Warfare, Page Builder by SiteOrigin, SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle, SiteOrigin CSS.

Design

As for the design part, I used a combination of persuasive design and psychological triggers in order for the website to be optimized for conversions.

I used a large font size to stand out and draw attention.

I picked a blue color as the dominant color, which is suitable for businesses. It’s considered that blue stands for trust, strength, and reliability.

Different call-to-action features are used throughout the pages.

Improvements and fixes

I've performed several CSS modifications to fix a couple of bugs and also improve the design of the website, for both desktop and mobile devices.

What to Do in WordPress After the Site Cloning

1. You should install the 'Password Protected' plugin and enabled it, so search engines won't crawl and index the dummy content and all the "mess" until your site goes live. To install a plugin, go to Plugins > Add New > type its name in the search field > click Install > Activate. You can find this plugin's options in Settings > Password Protected. Enable it > check Allow Administrators > add your password.
2. Go to Settings and change your website's name and email address.
3. Go to Appearance > Customize and change the website name on different sections (e.g. Footer).
4. Go to the Yoast SEO plugin ("SEO" in your Dashboard's sidebar) and change the titles.
5. Connect the UpdraftPlus backup plugin to Dropbox, or Google Drive, or other tools you might use and are supported there.
6. Add your sitemap's URL in Performance > Page Cache > Cache Preload > Sitemap URL. Your sitemap is created by the Yoast SEO plugin, and its URL is https://yourdomain.com/sitemap_index.xml. Replace "yourdomain.com" with your actual domain name.
7. Go to the Contact page > SiteOrigin Contact Form > Edit > Settings > add your email in the 'To' field and change 'yourdomain.com' from 'wordpress@yourdomain.com' in the 'From' field.
