A customer asked me today about transforming his site into something he could maintain himself.  I pointed him to WordPress.org.  He asked about setting it up himself and their support record.

We actually use their software quite a bit.  It’s good software and it’s widely used and respected.

The setup time I mentioned, 1-3 hours, is for us to install and configure it for you.  We install the software, we create a template, we convert your site.  In general, we don’t need any of your time to get it going.

Can you do it on your own?  Probably.  Although it can be tricky, it’s not difficult.  It’s just a matter of figuring out what to put where. Also, during the setup process, you do need to understand how the code works and what it does in order to get your site configured properly.

Re: support.  Since I don’t use their monthly service, I have never called them for support.  In general, the companies that sell services
for $10-15 per month can’t do that and provide decent detailed personal support.
