Set-up Website
Estimated Time of Completion: 7-14 Business days
At Outsourced Doers, we absolutely love Wordpress and have trained your Doer in how to set up your website in the below two Wordpress themes:
Theme 1: The Original Doers Way Website
Theme 2: Divi Theme
Check out a snapshot of the Divi Theme:
If you like the look of these, simply let your Doer know which theme you prefer (1 or 2)...
They'll then edit the theme and apply your branding so that you'll be left with a beautiful new site!
If you're utilising another website hosting platform such as Wix or Squarespace, that's not a problem...
Your Doer can set up your website in whichever platform you choose... Wordpress is just our preference at Outsourced Doers.
TO BRIEF YOUR DOER:
- If you're utilising the Project Management Tool; *Basecamp, add this as a task to your project's To Do's
- You'll need to describe the task. We'd recommend 'Set Up Website on [Your Website Hosting Platform]: WB0010'
- Assign the To-Do to your Doer
- Set a Due Date
- Add notes:
- You can provide your Doer with this URL in order to provide them with context on the task
- Let your Doer know where you would like the site to be hosted and ensure they have access if you have already set up an account (eg. Wordpress, Wix, Squarespace)
- If you haven't yet created an account, you can have your Doer set this up for you, just be sure to advise them what plan you'd like them to create (eg. free, premium)
- If you have already purchased your domain name, let your Doer know what it is. If not, let your Doer know that they'll need to set this up. Simply advise them what domain name you would like to use and if you have a preferred domain registrar (eg. GoDaddy)
- Advise your Doer of the theme you would like them to use. You can choose from one of the two above, or feel free to pick your own!
- You can also provide your Doer with inspiration images of websites you like the look and feel of so they understand what aesthetic you're wanting to portray
- Ensure you link your Doer to high-resolution images that you would like featured on the site as well as your logo and branding (including hex colours)
- Let your Doer know what pages you would like featured on the menu and provide them with the sub-pages that correspond to each
- Provide your Doer with the copy you have written for each of the pages (we'd recommend linking them to a Google Doc)
- If you're wanting to feature testimonials on your website, ensure you have provided your Doer with photos of the testimonial... if they're not high-res, ensure you have good quality headshots that they can pair with the text instead
- Ensure your Doer has the links to all of your social media accounts if you'd like them linked on your website
- Add in any other notes or requirements you have that might be relevant to the task
- Don't assume - it's always best to provide as much information as possible
- If you have extensive notes, we'd recommend recording a Loom
Our Doers are trained to be able to action this task, if you find that they are having troubles, they might be trying to work through a task that sits past their scope, outlined here.
