You keep control of the WordPress website, blog, and domain name. Optional premium themes, paid plugin upgrades, or services outside the stated setup are not represented as part of this package.
How the WordPress Setup Process Works
The service is designed to move from your selections to a manageable WordPress website without making you perform the server-side work.
Select a Theme and Plugins
Choose one WordPress.org theme and up to five WordPress.org plugins that fit the site's purpose.
Receive Full Access
We install and configure the core components, then provide access so you can manage the website and domain.
Once the site is ready, you can concentrate on page creation and a practical blogging and content strategy. Clear organization and useful content also support the SEO ranking factors that help search engines understand a site.
What You Can Manage After Setup
The website is not locked into a limited editor or proprietary site builder. It is a WordPress installation that you can manage through its dashboard and the hosting account.
