Basic Website

Theme

We build using the current free template "Twenty Twenty-Five" from WordPress. This is easy for non-professional front-end developers to manage long-term and is well-supported. We can also use other themes or build you a completely custom theme but costs will be relative.

We add the plugin custom-css-js

Plugins

The basic website comes with the following simple free plugins installed. We update our plugins occasionally to ensure clients get the best basic collection to start their site. These recommendations are not sponsored:

• wp-dashboard-notes:
  Admin notes for managers or developers to quickly check
• custom-css-js:
  Basic site editing is done on the front end for easy future developers' needs.
• Contact Form 7
  For the collection of user submissions, we use the following three plugins.
  • contact-form-7
