I am not new to web design (I am a graphic designer and have used Shopify, Wix and similar sites for a web site). However, I am new to Wordpress and the structure it has with plugins, backend, front end, themes and hosting. I started developing the web site on Wix (Wix is very customizable and met most of my needs) but I need to have a site that can handle heavy traffic, speed and over 100's of pages of content and video. I'm building a content heavy repair training web site for training purposes. Wordpress is perfect for my needs and I know how to build (graphically design) a website from scratch. But I am having a steep learning curve coming from web builders like WiX and Shopify that that are designed to hold your hand and make things drag and drop. My experience with wordpress has been rough and I have tried and quit so many times.
I started building my multisite over 6 months ago. It took me 3 months just to get wordpress working, and another month just to learn how to use Elementor. I gave up because it was overwhelming the amount of plugins and backend stuff you had to set up BEFORE you could add the actual content to my site. I gave up and abandoned it for 6 months. I cam back to it a week ago and found it was hacked or was hit with malware. Bluehost said it would take $600-$800 to remove the malware. Since I was basically at a very low level of development I decided to just delete my account and start over. Now I need help with getting past the backend/setup phase that took me months to do before. I am a designer at heart and HATE coding and backend stuff because it gets in the way of what really matters, which is the design and content. An ugly web site with little content thats super secure and tight backend setup is useless.
I'm a designer, not a programmer and I don't want to code anything. I need someone to set up my current wordpress with several themes and basic plugins. I DON'T need you to design anything, just to set it up so it allows me to start adding my own content. I am struggling to get plugins to work and themes to import demo content so I can actually see where I want to put content (right now I'm looking at blank pages in my themes I installed, despite the beautiful demo pages of the themes on their web site that got me to buy the themes in the first place). Right now I have a limited budget so I will probably need you to only work an hour a day at most. With all this said, Here's the job:
1. I need advice on plugins you would suggest for a content heavy web site that will have lots of training videos and text based manuals.
2. I need 6 sites (themes) set up under my multisite, a directory, a wiki site, a Q&A site, a news site, a store site (woocommerce, but not any products, just the theme itself), and a knowledge base site. (Also the home page (no content) and a menu that links to each of these sites all under one multisite).
3. I need the demo content from the theme makers (all from themeforest.com) uploaded into the theme for each site along with very minor adjustments to color (black and blue colors) and the main menu working on each site.
Message me for any other info. Again, my budget is somewhat small right now so I understand my idea is too grand for my budget. I will just need to build this one page at a time until I get more funding to go full force. Anyway, I'll explain all details later for those interested. Thanks.
