SCENARIOS
You are completely new to running your own web site
- You need some help first understanding what a web site is, and then what it can (and cannot) do for you. Then you can decide if a web site really is for you or whether a cloud service like Wix, might be better. You probably also need help getting a domain name registered.
- Consider Managed WordPress Hosting. We’ll set everything up for you and help you get started. Then a few hours training on key skills.
You need a personal portfolio to complement your LinkedIn profile
- Perhaps you are already familiar with professional platforms like LinkedIn and other social platforms, and you just want a stable location to centralize everything. You understand hosting. You just need to set up an email address and install WordPress, select a professional ‘clean’ theme, create a couple of pages and a contact form, and add links to your social platforms.
- Consider Self-Managed Hosting and do-it-yourself WordPress with cPanel, knowing that if you need help we are ready to provide that.
You need to share and collaborate on work with other people
- There are many options for collaboration. Working on corporate documentation might best be done on a wiki or using a cloud service like Google Docs/Drive. A self-hosted web site would provide the benefit of privacy control for information that might be too sensitive to entrust to a cloud service.
- Consider Self-Managed Hosting,with an installed Wiki like DocuWiki, MediaWiki, or WordPress with wiki and membership plugins. We can help you select and install the option best for you. Also consider Combined Managed Hosting and have us look after updates and back-ups for you.
You are OK with WordPress, but you have never run an online shop before
- Perhaps you previously ran a blog on WordPress.com, or you have a simple self-hosted WordPress site. You might now sell jewellery or art works using physical venues such as markets. You’d like to put some of your wares online. A self-hosted WordPress shop has some advantages over cloud-based services such as Shopify or Ecwid, but it’s important to make the right choice. You would like to avoid having to move your shop later on.
- Consider having a chat with us (and others) before making your choice. If you decide upon a self-hosted solution, then you probably need a bit of help getting started. Consider our WordPress Managed Hosting, and then our Shop or Pro Shop packages with a bit of training.
You have run your online shop for a while and now want to expand or shift hosts
- You might now be on a cloud-based shop service like Shopify or Ecwid, but you’d like more flexibility and options for presenting your products. Else you might be increasingly frustrated with having to pay for all the extras you need. For example, you want to combine products/services into bundles and special deals, or offer more complex variations. The very capable and extensible Woocommerce system will serve your needs.
- Consider our Managed WordPress Hosting, and then our Pro Shop Set-up service to smoothly transition your business.
You want to combine courses, events, bookings, and materials all in one shopping cart experience
The full shop experience!
- You wish to fly utilize extended and advanced features of your online shop, such as combining products in cool ways to encourage more sales. You also want to sell physical items, with virtual items such as downloads, promotional event tickets, resource bookings, appointments, and memberships with subscription renewals (automated).
- Consider our Managed WordPress Hosting, Pro Shop Set-up, and further training to fully exploit the possibilities of your online shop.
You run a membership organisation and you now want this online
- You might be a membership secretary of a club or association, running a membership list manually or using a spreadsheet or database. However, it’s difficult to keep track of when everyone is due, and it’s a hassle chasing people up. So to make things simple you currently have annual membership fees, which is unfair on those joining partway through the year.
- You also need to publish a regular newsletter, which requires a separate software application only installed on one machine.
- This all needs to be simpler and online so multiple people can be allocated jobs to help.
- Consider our WordPress Managed Hosting, with our Shop or Pro Shop (depending on how much set up help you need). You will want the Membership and Subscriptions plugin, along with a newsletter synchronised – probably Mailchimp.
You are an individual teacher and you need a safe place for your resources and student uploads
- You need a place to develop, store, and share your lesson plans, teaching resources, and web links. You might have been using a Facebook page or group but perhaps these have limitations for your learrners.
- Instead of separate share links for all your Quzzlets, Kahoots, and Youtube videos, it would be so much easier to embedd them all in one place ready to go for each day’s classes.
- You’d like to control access, run quizzes, and perhaps one day even sell some of your courses and lessons to a wider audience.
- Consider our Managed WordPress Hosting with Shop or Pro Shop setup (depending on how much help you need) to add the Sensei learning management system plugin. Consider a few hours of our training to get you up and running quickly, or you can teach yourself using the excellent documentation
You are a training organisation or small school and you need to maintain enrolment records
- You may have a few dozen learners or a few thousand, if you maintain academic and results records then you need a proper learning management system (LMS).
- You require enrolment tools, flexible question types, extensive gradebook functions, and comprehensive user management for both staff and learners. Your organisation also requires web site front end and sales funnel capabilities as well.
- Consider our Managed Combined (WordPress + Moodle) Hosting and Advanced Set Up services. Use WordPress for your marketing needs with the WooCommerce plugin to manage sales of both Moodle courses as well as course resources and event bookings. Also consider targeted training and documentation to help your staff and learners use the system effectively.
