WordPress Deluxe

When You Want It All

This package is for those of you who already know exactly what you want and that is… everything.

You are super serious about creating a web presence that ranks up there with the big guys (but doesn’t break your budget).

This top-of-the-line package includes every bit of designing mojo I’ve got to offer plus all the bells and whistles I can think of to support you with the best possible start.

Custom designed, ready for social networking, plus buy now buttons (so you can actually start offering your clients/customers your stuff) or offer a list sign-up feature.
Allow your clients to self-schedule their next consultation or session or whatever cool thing you do. All by themselves.
And ready to go with Google Analytics… a state of the art system, free from Google, that helps you see what’s happening on your web presence; who is actually visiting your site and how they found you online.
