Virtually Marj Manifests the GNXT Summit Vision

"I came to Marj with a large vision for my project Generation Next Summit.  With her thorough knowledge of Word Press, she was able to take my vision and create our project’s web presence using a combination of plug-ins and custom coding within our chosen theme.  She created a wonderful sales page for us with special graphics that showcased our offerings in a professional and attractive manner.  We were able to find the perfect membership site solution together and summit attendees really loved the look and feel of what she helped co-create.  I recommend working with Marj on your WordPress site, whatever your needs may be.  She has the skills and insight to design your project so that it not only is a site that’s nice to look at but also functions well behind the scenes. "

Project Overview

This effort included the development of a sales page and a membership site.  Some graphics were supplied by another artist but most of the graphics on the site were the result of my interpretation of the business owner’s intention for the feeling that they wanted their site to carry.  Due to circumstances beyond my control, the project completion timeline was narrowed pretty significantly.

One of my main concerns, as the developer, was to make the site maintainable without developer intervention.  The page layouts were pretty demanding on the sales site though so changes to those pages will require HTML, Photoshop, and CSS skills to maintain.  To easily secure content after the free replay period had ended, I wrote HTML and used specialized plugins that permitted the site owner to secure content for 3 different membership levels by changing one character within the posts. 

The Studio Press Mocha Theme was heavily customized to accomplish the site’s look and feel.  We used the Wishlist Member Plugin to secure content for the appropriate levels of membership.  To promote community, we installed the Simple Press Forum plugin which is very easy for an average site owner to use and administer. 

The site came together on time, in spite of the odds, and the Summit was a success.

Virtually Marj Brings Vegetable Fruit Carving to Life

Marj Wyatt has worked on 3 WordPress site projects for me. She has been great at taking my ideas (that weren’t always so organized) and turning them into the sites that fit what I wanted and needed.

Marj has a lot of knowledge about WordPress, themes and plug ins and when she doesn’t have an immediate solution for my website questions, she does the research and comes back with a solution every time.

Along the way, Marj has also done a great job of educating me how to maintain my WordPress sites and make some changes on my own. And she has taught me about some cool online tools and SEO tactics as well.

If you are looking for a knowledgable and friendly WordPress expert, who offers her service at a reasonable price, I recommend Marj Wyatt of VirtuallyMarj.com.

WordPress Website Design Overview

Nita Gill and I met at the Kennedy Glazer San Diego Chapter meeting in late October, 2009. She approached me with interest in learning more about my services and style. At that time, she was not ready to begin her project but, when she had completed the marketing plan, we got to work.

The first project was to help her with a wordpress website design for her new blog. I helped her learn the WordPress ropes, and how to optimize her posts for better SEO.

Nita returned a couple months later with a larger project, which was to migrate her static sales page to a WordPress Website and create a membership site for her products.

Perhaps the biggest technical challenge with the mid-year project was determining the best method to use to serve up videos to her members. We worked together to determine the best method of video production and what players and plugins to use on her site that would give her control over poster images and player control styles.

We used the Wishlist Member Plugin to secure her content. I assisted Nita with determining an overall architecture for her site and how to name the categories for search engine optimization.

The major contribution, aside from normal coaching that goes along with every project, was to educate Nita in the use of her wordpress software. To allow her to become self-sufficient, I created a dozen specialized training videos for her future reference.

Have a look at her sites. Not only are they well designed and functional, she has an awesome product and is a skilled vegetable and fruit carver. Her creations are utterly beautiful!

Project Details

Jeff Howard and I met at the end of 2008 when I responded to a Craig’s List posting.  Our styles meshed nicely and, since he first decided to work with me, our professional relationship has flourished.

Our most recent endeavor was to build a sales funnel for a membership site concept that Jeff had in his mind.  The sales page was developed using a premium Sales Letter Theme for use in promoting sales through Event Brite.  For the membership site, we used the Studio Press Corporate theme.  We are protecting content with the Wishlist Member Plugin.

After launching the site, we noticed some performance issues with the site.  Although it is streaming its own videos, the site speed was a problem for Jeff’s members so we began to discuss switching hosting services.  I helped Jeff to quickly determine that his long-term hosting provider, Network Solutions, was the fly in the ointment by setting up his content on A2 Hosting and Just Host for comparison.  Each alternate service delivered the site at lightening speed, by comparison to Network Solutions.  Jeff chose to port his sites to A2 Hosting because they more readily offer telephone support, even though their pricing was a little higher than Just Host.

Virtually Marj Enhances Construction Solutions Midwest Online Marketing

I would highly recommend Marj for any of your web site projects. I have worked with Virtually Marj on a couple of word press web site design and construction projects. We have developed a solid relationship and I have found her to be very accommodating as we have worked on these projects together.

Marj has listened to my general and sometimes vague ideas of what I want my sites to look like and how I want them to function and artfully crafted a plan to try to meet my desires while at the same time giving me guidance on the realities of how the sites can function.

I feel she has gone above and beyond the call of duty on each and every project. She has under promised and over delivered each time.

Project Details

When Art Sandridge and I first began to work together, he was trying to find his way through the Internet Marketing Maze.  As we talked, I asked him why he was not more focused on his primary business of Commercial Construction.  At that time, he felt that there were better opportunities online.

After several months of pursuing the dream, Art returned and informed me he had decided to stop joining business opportunities and put up a website to promote his brick and mortar business.  He had begun the site on his own but, after a brief conversation, he hired me to help him finish up the site.

The project entailed recreating the company logo, styling the Studio Press Corporate Theme to his tastes, setting up the NextGen plugin to promote his projects, and creating several custom videos for Art to reference so he could update and maintain his own site.

Virtually Marj Delivers Leventhal-Stern Art Portfolio

“Marj Wyatt has excellent website design skills and I would recommend her to anyone needing to build or improve their web presence, search engine optimization (SEO), or keyword research, for a personal or business website. Her artistic ability is impressive as well as the skill with which she tackles any technical website issues you may have.”

Jerry Leventer for LeventhalSternArt.com

This project was commissioned after the Artist died. Her husband wanted to have a site that promoted the artwork and sustained the spirit of his deceased wife.

A minimalistic theme was requested. The PhotoNexus theme was highly customized to allow for text and comments on posts, as well as to display thumbnails with the category list. The overall effect of the new site, hosted on WordPress, permits a visitor to easily browse artwork by type and study the images.

Mothers of Brothers Praises Virtually Marj

If you are blogger, you know that your site is not unlike your child. And when your child is sick, you tend to stop functioning. You want answers. You want certainty. You want experts. And we got absolutely none of that from our hosting provider Network Solutions. From Network Solutions we got ticket numbers, escalation promises, and false assurances. So we panicked and called in the real expert.

Virtually Marj. WordPress developer extraordinaire.

We love Virtually Marj for the following reasons:

• She knows her stuff
• She delivers exactly what she promises on time.
• She is a human being.

Marj has the perfect combination of extensive technical know how (we know this because sometimes she tells us stuff and we don’t really know what she is talking about) and common sensibility (she will then realize that we don’t understand her and translate into laymen’s terms). In this particualr case the translation was: Network Solutions screwed up your website. Bad.

We put our baby in Marj’s hands and she took tender loving care of MothersofBrothers in record time. She found our back up and recreated the site at godaddy.com. She changed our emails and our domain. And we didn’t lose a thing. Our baby is healthy again and we have Marj to thank for it. We are kinda in love with her.

It is hard to ever truly repay the person who brought your child back from the brink of death, but in that spirit: If you EVER need web development services — especially with WordPress — YOU MUST USE VIRTUALLY MARJ.

With our new hosting provider and Virtually Marj by our side, there is nothing we can’t do. Thank you for your patience and prayers during this difficult time. And thank you to the Universe for Virtually Marj.

Virtually Marj and MLM-theWholeTruth.com

We had a very large website with lots of contet to move into a Content Management System (CMS).  We chose WordPress for our system and Marj did a beautiful job implementing it.  It turned into close to 600 posts and pages.  See:  The MLM Whole Truth, Network Marketing Super-Site.

Also, of huge benefit to me, was the fact that Marj Speaks English (her 1st language), writes it well, and is available by phone in the U.S.

I certainly intend to work with her long-term.

I want to comment on the re-design you did for my website. Everyone who has seen it says it is much more attractive than my previous site.

But that’s only part of the story. There are a lot of website designers, but working with you has a distinct advantage for me. I know you have had a business exposure in sales. That’s important to me because you discuss business issues rather than just concentrating on a design. You ask for the information first and then build a website around that information. And because you have a knowledge of sales, you know what questions to ask.

I would say that is a very effective way to produce website results, rather than just a website design. I’m like a “one stop” kind of person. I had no idea you had so much extensive knowledge in website  maintenance. It’s the maintenance issue that becomes so important.

Your ability to use search engine optimization is crucial to have people visiting the web site. And the same holds true even more for the blog link you created on my site. Your methods definitely drive traffic to the site.

And with all our conversations, you have insisted I write valuable content for visitors. That’s a challenge for me because it forces me to ask questions that a typical person would ask when they begin a search. You have really increased my internet visibility. I would not hesitate, not even for a nanosecond, to recommend your talents to others.

Thank you,

When I started interviewing Developers for my wordpress project I found developers who knew developing but nothing else about site look & feel, SEO and amortizing a website.  I started interviewing Marj and found that she had skill sets in all these areas.  Marj took my concept and looked at it from a holistic perspective, incorporating all these areas.  Her skill set that was brought into the project included clean modular coding to W3C standards, Site look and feel ad ehanced user experience, and SEO strategies.  The result was a site which within 3 weeks had been generating over 50 unique visitors a day.

I Highly recommend Marj for any project put forward to her, as she looks at the client’s concept and develops a holistic solution where the site is visible and is in demand by all users who are seeking the content from that site.  I won’t use anybody else in the future.
