Word Press help

I am in need of a wordpress pro to help me 1) understand how to update things on an established WP site using an existing theme plus show me the basic ins and outs of designing within the theme. And 2) analyze the existing site to see how we can better optimize for SEO, local search and overall UX.

I have some code knowledge but am mainly a designer. For now I just need someone to point me in the right direction and we can go from there. It’s a paid gig. DM me for more details.

Thanks!

One of the hardest things with Word Press is that they do almost nothing to separate code from design.

Couple of good plugins before you start tweaking anything.

Backup: https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/
Lets you backup both files & the database into one archive

File Manger: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-file-manager/
Let’s you browse/edit the files on a site you may not have access to hosting via FTP

SEO/SEM: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/
An SEO plugin that let’s you manage sitemaps, keywords, meta data, etc.

Security: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence/
Firewall & malware scanner, IP blacklisting, etc.

Feel free to PM if you have specific questions.

P.S. I hate Word Press but every agency in the world uses it to build sites because “it rocks” :frowning:
