After you make your payment, you'll receive an email thanking you and letting you know I'm on the case. There's a link in that email to join the Facebook group. Definitely click that right away.

Within 24 to 48 hours (excluding weekends, naturally), I'll create your new web space then email the link to your new space + login instructions.

In the meantime, you can start planning your site design and architecture with the Website Planning Toolkit.

Start with the Website Planning Toolkit. You can download it here.

Once you have an idea of how you want your site to look and function, you can start designing. 

I recommend you start by customizing the theme. Look for the video about customizing the theme in the Facebook group. 

I love that you're asking this! Templates are a great starting point for a new design. You can load a template and start customizing it right away.

Your site will come with the Beaver Templates and these Ultimate Templates. 

But you don't have to stop there! You can customize these templates by adding modules and sections.  Click here to see the sections and click the MODULES link at the top of this page to see some of the cool features you'll be able to add to your site just by dragging and dropping. 

Once you've assembled a page you like, you'll be able to save your own templates and use them as the starting point for new pages on your site.

There really is no limit to the kind of site you can create.

Yes, of course! 
If you haven't bought a domain name yet, I recommend buying it at Namecheap.com. I don't have an affiliate relationship with them. I just think they're the best and easiest to work with.

I usually recommend that you build your new website from scratch, so you don't accidentally bring in bugs currently hidden in your old site. 

You'll get a url just for building your new site behind the scenes. When it's ready to go live, I'll help you point your domain name to the new site.

No problem. If your current site is super simple, you can copy and paste the content into your new site.

If you have a lot of content on your existing site, let me know. We can work together to determine the best way to bring your content into the new site.

I can teach you how to export and import your blog posts, pages, media, etc. Or I can do this for you for an additional hourly fee.

Once you're ready, I will point your domain name to your new site to make it live. I'll need the login information for your domain registrar (Namecheap, GoDaddy, etc). But we can work out those details once your site is ready to go live.

After you've hosted a Semi-DIY site with me for 6 months (minimum), you're free to move it to another host. However, you will need to take over the licensing + the management of the backups & updates.

Get in touch with me and I will walk you through the process of buying your own versions of everything in use on your Semi-DIY site.

If you'd like to cancel and delete your website all together, get in touch and we'll figure out the best path forward.

You'll be able to ask for help in the Facebook group anytime. That should be your first step when you need help.

If you can't find your answer there, all of my Website Care clients (including Semi-DIY clients) have access to free 15 minute fixes from me. Usually it goes like this: You send a question. I walk through the solution while making a quick screencast video. I send you the video so you know how to fix it next time. 

If you need more help than that, as a Semi-DIY client you get a discounted hourly rate. Reach out and I'll let you know and send you an estimate for the solution.

No problem! I have add-on packages and recommended plugins. Reach out, let me know what you need, and we'll make it happen.

That is absolutely not a problem! Just reach out and let me know.

Together we can determine which website design package is right for you, and I'll deduct your Semi-DIY setup fee from the total price. 

Sure you can. That would be DIY though, not Semi-DIY.

You can set up your own hosting, buy licenses for the theme and plugins, learn how to maintain the back end on your own. 

There will be a learning curve and less support, but it's totally possible. If you'd like a little help getting everything in place to DIY, I provide hour-long consultation calls for $95. Click her to set up a call now.
