Virtually Marj Manifests the GNXT Summit Vision

November 23, 2010 by Marj Wyatt Leave a Comment

"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 for Membership Sites by Virtually Marj

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 nolvadex tablets online. 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.
