New Site

Got an idea that you want to see online?

There’s a lot to consider before you even install WordPress and make your first page.

I love working with clients that know WordPress and are willing to let me teach them as they go through the process of making a new site.

Site Makeover

Still have one of those old html sites that you want converted into a shiny new WordPress site? Want all those important site features that you need to accomplish your goals?

It’s not as easy as pushing a button. Careful planning – from scoping the project, designing the site, selecting the web host, and more – need to take place before a single new page can be made.

Here’s an example of a site – before and after – that I converted from a sad, old html site to a WordPress site that does what the client wanted.

Maybe you’ve got an old WordPress site that needs a complete overhaul. Yup, I’ve done that too.

Site Maintenance

Where did your WordPress guy go? Did your web designer get a full time gig and can’t help you any more?

I’m here not only to keep things up and running, but also to help you take your site to that next level. Using the best plugins, fixing a broken design, starting an email newsletter, and working the social nets are just a few of the things I do.

Theme Selection

Looking for the perfect theme for your site? The good news is that there are thousands to choose from. The bad news is that there are thousands to choose from.

It is overwhelming. Making the right choice is a big deal towards owning a successful site. Check out my “Choosing The Perfect WordPress Theme Web Site, ” then get in touch with me. You’ll save time and money, and you won’t have to pull your hair out anymore.

Knowledge Base

Here’s a short list of the things I really know and use and do all the time for me and others:

  • Custom styling for your site
  • Site migration
  • Writing for your blog
  • MailChimp
  • Gravity Forms
  • Open Monster
  • LearnDash
  • WooCommerce
  • SEO

If I don’t know something, I can easily tap into the huge WordPress community to help you.

WordPress Training

By default, I’m a WordPress instructor. I believe that most of us can master enough of what is needed to make WordPress a very effective Content Management System. I’m very much a “Give a man a fish and he has food for one day. Teach a man how to fish and he has food for a life time” guy. I’m happiest when I am sharing what I know about WP so I can make you happy too.

My Free Online Course. Yes, Free!

The WP A To Z Series shows you in six modules how to make any kind of WP site. Each module has step by step training. If you’re not a beginner, you can watch the videos in any order.

Private Webinars

If you need personal attention, schedule a webinar with me to provide you with what you need:

Fees

Your investment for a web site that is important to you is important to me.

My fees are fixed. You don’t have to worry about hourly rates that go beyond your comfort level. In cases where an hourly rate is charged, you will always know about it beforehand.

My work is always outlined in an Agreement that defines the stated purpose of the tasks I do for you.

My Pledge To You

Bud Kraus

If my promises don't appeal to you then hire someone else.

1. I Will Never Abandon You Or Your Project

You won't have to wonder, "Whatever happened to my guy who worked on my web site?" Or, "My gal left because she got a real job."

I've been working with small businesses for a very long time and this is my real job. And I love it too!

2. I'll Look For The Best Ways To Solve Problems

I'm a practical guy who uses common sense. My approach is to find solutions that are quick and economical wherever possible.

3. I Will Work On Your Site As If It Were My Own

The Golden Rule. I could not live with myself if I did it any other way.
