How can I help you?

If you're new to working online, and you could use some support, I'd be delighted to help.

Here's what I can offer:

Mentoring, Coaching and Consulting

For people who are starting their Internet Marketing career and are new, or reasonably new, to WordPress, blogging and working online, and for businesses that need to develop an effective online presence.

By means of CoPilot, and Skype or Google Talk, I can mentor and coach you wherever you live, as long as you have good Internet access.

CoPilot enables me to see what you're seeing on your computer screen and guide you through the steps you need to take to do whatever you need to do.

If you're a newbie struggling with WordPress, or setting up email marketing campaigns, or you just want some input and support with your activities online, I will help to clear away the jargon and make sense out of the confusion.

And if you're a company executive who knows your business needs an online presence, but you need input from someone who's experienced in Social Media, SEO, website design and Online Marketing, then I can help.

Let's see how I can help.

WordPress Installations, Maintenance and Support

If you have a passionate interest in something (anything) and a desire to write, or post pictures or videos about it, blogging can be one of the most fulfilling pastimes around.

And that's not to mention the people who make a full time living from it.

Not technical? Don't want to deal with the mechanics of it all?

No problem - leave it to me!

WordPress is one of the most flexible blogging systems around and, when it's combined with the Thesis theme, can provide you with an insanely powerful platform from which to express yourself.

Thesis is generally acknowledged as the best coded, most SEO-effective theme around and offers almost infinite customisability.

It's more than a theme - it's a platform that unlocks the full power of WordPress.

If all you really want to do is write, or post pictures or videos about your passion in life, then let me remove the hassles by providing and maintaining the platform for you.

Here's what I can do for you:

  • Find and register a good domain name
  • Provide low-cost, high quality, fully WordPress ready web hosting
  • Install and configure your WordPress blog
  • Install and configure the Thesis theme
  • Customise the theme to give you the look and feel you want
  • Install and configure plugins that will:
  • Improve the search engine effectiveness of your site
  • Improve the management and maintenance of your site
  • Improve your site's resistance to spam and hacking
  • Improve the social marketing effectiveness of your site
  • Set up your widgets
  • Maintain and update your site, your plugins and your theme
  • Create weekly system and database backups to protect your content
  • Guide and advise you on ways to promote your blog
  • Show you how to write stuff that people want to read
  • Show you how to SEO your blog for maximum search engine effectiveness

What my customers are saying:

Sandra Du Plessis - Owner, Home Safety For Kids

"... Some little while ago, I decided to split a rather large and unwieldy site into 3 Wordpress sites.

I asked questions all over the place in the Warrior Forum and stumbled across Martin when he stepped forward to answer one of my questions.

To most people it is quite easy to set up if you understand these things. Of course, me being me I was more than slightly confused.

Back to Martin and his incredible patience. He created a custom style sheet for me, then tried to talk me through setting everything up correctly. Of course, I messed it up completely, but no problem, Martin went in and fixed it all up beautifully at absolutely no cost.

I recommend Martin and his services most highly.

Martin, thank you so much for your kindness and patience..."

Jenny Rogan, Owner, JennyRogan.com

"......One thing I will say about you Martin, is that you are ALWAYS upfront with your info OR it is very clear in the processes you have laid out, just what is required to, (in this case), register a domain name with you..."


I can do as much or as little as you need.

From full installation, maintenance and administration of your blog thru installation and maintenance of Thesis to small ad hoc tweaks. The choice is entirely yours.

And I don't ask for any minimum commitments!

If you use me you pay me, if you don't then you don't.

This site is a Thesis site (obviously!). So's this one: my personal site, this one: my travel site and these two: my development site and my second development site (which will contain the last developments I did for people).

I'd be delighted to help you too! Let me know how - contact me here!

Standard, Static Websites

And if all you need is a standard, static website to act as a shop window then you're still in the right place!

I will build you a site that is:

  • Clean
  • Fast-loading
  • W3C compliant
  • Search engine friendly
  • Effective
  • Intuitive

If you think I may be able to help drop me a line. Even if you're not sure.

If I can't help I'll let you know right up front and, if I'm able to, I'll to point you to someone who can.

I look forward to being of service to you!

Martin Malden
