Freelance/Business Website + Premium Theme (Save $129.95) + Support

Intro

This ready-made WordPress website is suitable for freelancers (men or women) and businesses that want to present their knowledge, experience, services and even products because the theme has support for eCommerce via the WooCommerce plugin (it's not installed in this setup). So, you can add a shop on your website if you want.

Additional functionalities can also be added via other plugins.

Note that this WordPress site is not only for women, just because I added a picture of a woman with the dummy name of Jane Doe. Men can use it, too, because you can change images, names, color, etc.

Everything's Already Set Up

The business or freelancing WordPress website already has everything installed, configured, and optimized:

• WordPress;
• Premium theme from StudioPress (save $129.95);
• Plugins that handle security, SEO, optimization, performance, and other functionalities;
• Design improvements.

The only thing remaining is to change several domain-specific features (e.g. titles, email) pointed out in my guide, and to replace the dummy content with your own content. I'll send you the guide once you've purchased a plan.

The images are copyright-free, so you can keep using them if you wish.

Premium Theme Included for Free (Save $129.95)

For this WordPress website, I used a premium theme called Authority Pro. The theme is created by StudioPress, which is one of the best WordPress studios and the creators of the most-used framework - Genesis Framework.

The theme is optimized and focused on performance, therefore it's not bloated with all sorts of features. Nevertheless, it has some design options that you can change, such as:

• Primary color;
• Page layout (3 types);
• Breadcrumbs display location;
• Enable/Disable featured images on posts;
• and several more.

The theme has advanced support for WordPress' Gutenberg editor. In fact, the pages are created with the Gutenberg editor, not with a 3rd party page builder.

The theme also has eCommerce support, meaning that's pre-styled for the WooCommerce plugin, which will allow you to have a shop on your website, where you can sell digital, physical, and downloadable products.

WooCommerce is not currently installed in this setup, but, if you're planning to have a shop on your site, you can see how it would look like here.

Note

Since I purchased the theme, I'm the owner of the StudioPress account. So, you won't be able to access the account to download the theme and contact support.

But as long as I'm offering on-going support, and as long as you use my services, you don't have to worry about that because I'll take care of it.

If, for whatever reason, we're no longer working together, you might need to buy the theme yourself to get the privileges that come with the account.

Optimization, Performance, SEO, Security, and Other Functionalities

Multiple plugins are installed and configured. The plugins handle things like spam, security, performance, SEO, and more!

• Yoast SEO - optimizes your website for search engines (e.g. Google);
• iThemes Security - secures your WordPress website;
• W3 Total Cache - a caching plugin that improves your site's performance/loading time;
• WP Smush - compresses your images automatically on upload to further improve the site's performance/loading time;
• Native Lazyload - a plugin developed by Google, which loads the images as the user scrolls your page, not from the start when the page starts loading. This improves your WordPress site's performance/loading time, especially on the Chrome, Edge, Opera, and Android browsers where the loading="lazy" tag is a native feature, meaning that the browser will do the work, not your site;
• WP User Avatar - removes the Gravatar feature from WordPress, replacing it with locally-uploaded avatars. This gets rid of the requests to Gravatar, improving your site's performance. Of course, It can be reversed by disabling the plugin;
• WPForms Lite - a drag-and-drop form builder used for the Contact page;
• WP Revisions Control - limits the number of revisions that WordPress saves in the database, preventing bloat;
• Spam Destroyer - a very simple, yet very good anti-spam plugin;
• UpdraftPlus - creates backups manually or automatically;
• WPFront Scroll Top - allows the visitor to easily scroll back to the top of the page;
• Genesis eNews Extended - adds a subscription form on your site. A mailing service is required (MailChimp is recommended);
• Atomic Blocks - a collection of handy Gutenberg (the WordPress editor) blocks;
• Cookie Notice for GDPR - adds a cookie notice at the top or bottom of your site, letting E.U. visitors know that your site uses cookies.

Additional plugins can be added for other potentially necessary functionalities (e.g. WooCommerce for eCommerce).

Improvements and Fixes

Code modifications to:

• center align Instagram embeds in posts;
• add bottom margin between columns on mobiles.

What to Do in WordPress After the Website Cloning

After you purchase the plan, I'll send you a guide within 24h (during working days) on the email address you used when purchasing the plan.

The guide will show you how, where, and what you'll need to change after the website has been cloned to your domain.

Free Advanced On-going Support

I'm offering advanced on-going support for free, which includes:

• Assistance (providing guidance, answering questions);
• Adding extra functionalities via plugins;
• Adding, editing, deleting pages within a reasonable amount. Content needs to be provided;
• Contacting the theme developers if needed.

Note

If you want on-going support, you need to give me your WordPress login info (username and password) so I can access your site and help you.

Or, you can create a new user with an Administrator role from your Dashboard > Users > Add User. Then, send me that log in info, so we can keep our accounts separate.
