We have been involved in implementing Web sites and building content management systems since 1996, we can confidently say that WordPress is a great choice.
If you want to migrate your site to WordPress then you have two primary approaches you can take:
- Pay someone to do it for you. This will likely start at £1,000 – £2,500 depending on the complexity of your site
- Come on our WordPress Training and Coaching Programme and do it for yourself !
There are three stages to this WordPress training and coaching programme.
Stage 1
The purpose of Stage 1 is to help you sort out where the site will be hosted and how you will implement the design you are looking for.
Before you start the actual training, by watching a video and discussing with us we will guide you through:
- Choosing and arranging hosting for your new web site (this might be at an existing hosting company if appropriate)
- Narrowing down which Theme you will use to control your Web site design
Stage 2
This involves spending half a day to a day together (depending on how complex your objectives are) in a structured workshop where we will guide you through getting your website set-up. By the end of the session you will have set-up your website. You may not have finished the content but it will be accessible on the web and be looking like you want it to look.
Below are the areas we will cover in this session.
Installing WordPress
- Installing WordPress at your hosting company
- Setting up the most Search Engine Friendly URL structure

Stage 3
This stage involves you working on your newly created website adding new pages, fleshing out the content of pages and making sure the design elements are what you want. Once you are happy with the site we are there to support you through the steps to launch the site to the search engines and the world. This involves:
Setting your site live
