Getting someone else to do it for you
A theme is not a massive undertaking, and if the requirements are understand
can take a relatively small amount of time, and therefore the cost is not as high as
you might think.
That’s the good news. The bad news is there are many, many, (many) people
who sell themselves as web designers/developers. You can create websites, and
you can create websites properly. Be careful selecting your technology partner,
if they build your site, you will want an on-going relationship with them as your
website - particularly if you are a commercial organisation - becomes an
important aspect of your online presence.
A poor technology partner will have you pulling your hair out in frustration, or
worse will lead you up the garden path.
You need to trust your technology partner.
I am happy to offer advice on creating WordPress websites, and of course as an
experienced website developer over 20+ years, I would be foolish if I didn’t offer
my services. You can find out more at www.wpsymposium.com including
information about the company behind the website and myself.
