WordPress Consulting
My focus since the beginning of 2006 is to provide WordPress consultancy services to a range of organisations. I decided to specialise on WordPress as it has continued to impress me as a product since I first installed version 1.0 back in 2004. It’s backed by a dedicated community of developers and people dedicated to supporting and enhancing it.
Dedicating most of my time to consult on WordPress also provides my customers with the comfort that my focus is limited to provide very specialised support. While I continue to provide support in other areas that I am very familiar with (see services), I limit my time working on these “non-core” areas to provide my WordPress client base even better support.
I am able to provide custom plugins for specific jobs and customisation to WordPress in an upgradeable way to meet your specific needs.
Some of the WordPress services I can offer you include:
- Blog Installation
- Contract or Ad-Hoc Support
- Blog Hosting
- Plugin Development
- Customisation
- Theme Adaption (convert your site’s layout to a Wordpress theme)
- Theme Design
- Content Development
- Search Engine Optimisation1
Pricing for all WordPress services is negotiable, and will depend upon the level of difficulty (Plugin development does cost more than a simple install). You can generally expect around $50USD for an installation (including recommended/required plugins), basic theme development (based upon your existing website or layout provided) and basic search engine optimization.
WordPress Showcase
I have been involved with the installation or support of the following WordPress blogs2

- Mukashi Mukashi
- hahmed.com

Other Information
Fully hosted WordPress installations can be packaged for $2.99(USD) per month. Full management of these blogs hosted either by myself (or externally) can be negotiated depending upon requirements. Packages like this are ideal of for SME internet businesses wishing to keep product or news/media blogs.
While not performing commercial WordPress work, I spend a great deal of time assisting WordPress users in the WordPress support forums. Details of my activities on the official support forums can be found in my wordpress.org support profile.
I also spend a lot of my spare time developing WordPress Plugins that are mostly3 released under the GNU Public License (GPL).

- SEO on occasions may be performed in conjunction with one of my expert partners, e.g. Bob Mutch’s SEO Company based in Canada. [↩]
- This is not an extensive list of blogs that I have worked on/with, it is a list of those that I am have exchanged permission with the site owners to list here. If I’ve worked on your blog and it’s missing - let me know. [↩]
- Some development work unfortunatly cannot be released under the GPL due to contractual obligations with the organisation I am performing the development work for. In a utopian society these would be free for all and the greater good, unfortunatly we’re not yet living in one. [↩]
