Wordpress managed service
Wordpress is one of the most popular "blogging" systems around. BUT did you realise you can also use it as a general purpose "content management" system? You can keep the "blog" page or turn it off, but create more pages, with text, pictures, etc. and manage the menu at the top of the page, all without ever having to "code" in HTML (though you can access that if you wish to).
This means Wordpress provides a quick and easy way to create and manage a sensible looking website without having to learn how to write HTML or how to operate the many "web design tools" on the market.
Prices start from £35 per annum.
MOREOVER this is a managed service. Other people will set you up a server running Wordpress and off you go... but if you don't keep the system patched and updated everytime there's a security release or new version, you will end up in trouble sooner or later. WE DO ALL THAT for you. We watch for new patches and releases of Linux and Wordpress and make sure the system remains up to spec and fully secure. All you have to do, is create and manage the page content!
Support from real people
Unlike some services, this system comes with Wizards support - you can call us, we will answer the phone and talk to you about your site and what you're doing with it. This includes, talking to us before you start if you're not sure how to proceed or even if this is a suitable system for your needs. Give us a call on 01494 837515.
Live sites!
Here are some of the Wordpress sites on our system. You will see they are visually quite different - that's because they have had Templates applied to them - we provide a small library of templates you can just click on to try, or if you see a template you particualrly like on the web, we can add that for you (adding templates may incurr addtitional charges, depends on the complexity).

The Tidyblog home page.
This system runs under the banner of "TidyBlog", and has a homepage here, which has lots of additional information including a guide to setting up your site!
Kickstart service.
To help get you up to speed and your web site on line even faster, use our Kickstart service to have us create your first few pages. Just give us a few paragraphs of text and a photo or two, and we'll do all the innitial setup work on the site for you... remember how your dad would get the kite up in the air then hand you the strings? Kickstart costs £100+vat.
Domain name.
Your Tidyblog site can be attached to your existing domain just like the examples above. If you don't yet have a domain, we would be delighted to help you choose and register one. If you do, we will explain how to "link" it in. If you don't have one and don't want one, we are happy for you to use a subdomain e.g. http://yoursite.tidyblog.co.uk...
