Convert Mac Website to WordPress: World Class Wrestling School

Convert Mac Website to WordPress: World Class Wrestling School

Mobile Me and various related services, ends June 30th.  World Class Wrestling School had been hosting their site through the Mac Web component of their Mobile Me account and contracted iDeborah Marketing to convert the static HTML site to a WordPress based site and move the hosting to GoDaddy.

iDeborah Marketing designed a simple WordPress website using Woo Themes Canvas theme.  All HTML pages were converted to blog pages.  The current blog was hosted via a third-party hosted blog service.  The blog was exported from the current host and imported into the new WordPress site.  The new blog contains an RSS ezine feed integrated with MailChimp as well as several VIP Waiting list optins.  Navigation was streamlined to group pages of similar content together.

The project was then deployed on a GoDaddy hosting account as requested by the client.  DNS settings were updated to remove the forward to Mac Web.  By eliminating the external blog service, the client is saving over $300 annually and has more control over how his content is published and distributed.

The Pathfinder Method Checkout Branding

The Pathfinder Method Checkout Branding

Even if you use a third-party vendor to process your e-commerce activities and orders on your website, it’s important to brand your checkout pages to offer your website visitors a seamless brand experience when they purchase a product or service online from you.  The Pathfinder Method is a service offering from Jason C. Brown.  Jason contracted iDeborah Marketing to brand the checkout pages for 1ShoppingCart and Paypal.  As Jason operates two distinct brands with unique looks, the challenge was to create a checkout page that blended both offerings.  iDeborah Marketing created several samples until the right combination was set for the checkout page and then modified both the template settings within 1ShoppingCart and Paypal to apply the brand elements.

iDeborah Marketing was responsible for creating the new FTP account on the host virtual dedicated server, installing WordPress and selecting a basic theme and installing plugins to offer the desired functionality.  iDeborah Marketing then implemented the graphic elements provided by the team graphic designer and customized the theme files to match the look and feel set forth by the designer.

After each strategic webinar, iDeborah Marketing quickly implemented the recommendations set forth by the PPC team.  Various pages including the terms of service, privacy policy and disclaimer were composed by iDeborah Marketing and sent to the client to revise.  In many cases, the pages were launched without additional edits.  Suggested best practice features such as a star rating system and review system were sourced with WordPress plugins to model the services offered by third party vendors.

Turning Conversations Into Clients Launch Campaign

Turning Conversations Into Clients Launch Campaign

Product or program launches can be tricky to pull off without a hitch but with the right planning and step-by-step checklist to follow, a successful launch can easily be achieved.  Barb Wade Coaching recently launched a group coaching program as a follow up to the month long telesummit that was held earlier this year.

Instead of following up the telesummit with an program pitch, Barb Wade, and her partner Tim Wade, decided that it was best to build a bit more trust with the new names on the database before pitching them a program.

Most of the campaign was managed by Tim Wade himself with assistance from iDeborah Marketing on setting up the products in 1ShoppingCart and ensuring that the correct links were on the order pages and that affiliate commissions were calculated properly.

iDeborah Marketing created a full pay and payment plan option for the Turning Conversations Into Clients group coaching program and ensured that the correct autoresponder sequence was attached to each product.  The order URL was added to the Turning Conversations Into Clients salespage and a test order was placed to ensure that the entire sales sequence worked and the correct autoresponder was delivered.  iDeborah Marketing also created custom template for the checkout page to add additional information to the top of the order form to reinforce what the client would be receiving and how to get in touch should they have a problem or a question about their order.

WordPress Theme Customization: Internet Marketing Chesapeake

WordPress Theme Customization: Internet Marketing Chesapeake

Internet Marketing Chesapeake is an exciting and fresh company focusing on implementing cutting edge new media marketing and mobile marketing solutions for the small business owner.

Internet Marketing Chesapeake retained iDeborah Marketing late last year to help tweak the website for their new business initiative. As Internet Marketing Chesapeake had already selected a domain name and website host and had already installed WordPress, the only thing left to do was to customize the theme and populate the site with their content. The homepage for this theme allowed for rotating images so we worked together to replace the stock images that came with the Super Clean theme. Unlike some other WordPress themes, where the homepage content is built through a WordPress page, the Super Clean theme required that the content be built through the index.php.

iDeborah Marketing populated the main sections of the new site and integrated an aWeber opt-in form. Some custom coding needed to be done with the form in order to make it function well with the theme. They had also selected a contact form plug-in that wasn’t as robust as the cForms plugin which we installed and configured for him. Once the site was built, iDeborah Marketing conducted a one-on-one video training session so that they could learn to maintain the different areas of the new site that required modifications to the php files or the CSS files.

Web Server Administration: Zach Even-esh & Underground Strength Coach

Web Server Administration: Zach Even-esh & Underground Strength Coach

Zach Even-esh, the creator of the Underground Strength Training systems, launched a product earlier this year with a colleague.  As part of the development, a custom salespage was to be hosted on Zach’s main website and sales were to be managed by his shopping cart.  Zach first contracted iDeborah Marketing to tweak his existing blog page template within the QuanSite system.  Using the MarketingPro Page Module, a customized stand alone page was built on the main website and integrated with the 1ShoppingCart System.

The product launch was a success and lead to additional product developments and the growth of the Underground Strength web assets necessitated the consolidation of the various web profiles on a Virtual Dedicated Server from GoDaddy.

Zach Even-esh already had an unused Virtual Dedicated Server account.  iDeborah Marketing managed the migration of existing single domain hosting accounts to the new Virtual Dedicated Server.  Six individual hosting accounts were moved over to the new server.  Zach’s main website required migration from a custom hosted blogging platform to a self-hosted WordPress installation.  With a busy launch calendar, it was decided that the migration of the main website profile would be postponed until June 2012 when the marketing calendar allowed for development time.

iDeborah Marketing remains an active web designer and web server administrator for Underground Strength Coach.  What does that mean?

Zach Even-esh is one of those dream clients who gives us a project and allows us to get our geek on.

iDeborah Marketing provides Zach Even-esh with sales page design services, landing page design services and as needed maintenance services.  We’re always an e-mail or tweet away when something needs to be tweaked on Zach’s site and can clean up wonky code lickety-split!

The Daman Stength Camp HTML site was converted to a full WordPress blog site to enable Rick to publish updates to his website without having to contract a web designer for minor changes. Easier publication methods will allow Rick to keep his WordPress site current and incorporate new testimonials as well as add new pages to support his offline gym.
