Web Design & Development
I build custom WordPress sites. WordPress is the #1 content management system, which offers many benefits for your business or brand. Below is the basic process for a website project.
STEP 1: Planning & Strategy
- Define Project Goals: Document the specific purpose of the site, whether it is an e-commerce storefront, portfolio, or business landing page.
- Map Site Architecture: Create a visual chart detailing how pages connect and how users will navigate.
- Outline Pages: Plan content requirements for standard pages like Home, About, Services, and Contact.
STEP 2: Infrastructure & Installation
- Secure a Domain Name: Choose a short, memorable .com domain address that reflects your brand identity.
- Purchase Web Hosting: Select a compatible host like Bluehost or GoDaddy that provides dedicated WordPress optimization.
- Install WordPress and Development Theme:
STEP 3: Design & Development
- Design: This step is done once the overall look and feel is discussed. Check-ins keep you up to speed with how it’s looking and functioning.
- Optimiizing: Design for mobile and desktop are equality prioritized.
- Testing: The site will be fully tested on mutiple devices
STEP 4: Deployment, Training & Maintenance
- Deployment: Website will go “live”, and a backup will be made along the way.
- Content Management: I can train your staff to make any updates, based on your requirements. This can also be maanged by J Reynolds Creative as well. This is your choice!
- Maintenance: See ongoing maintenance plan options below.

Design isn’t enough…
Websites are like vehicles – they look great and work well when they are new, but they require maintenance to stay that way. Backups, software, plugin and security updates, fresh content, updated contact info, new photos and more, help keep things stable, fresh, Google friendly, and most importantly, keep your business from getting stale in the eyes of the public. J Reynolds Creative offers two different plans to suit every need you may have.
