WordPress magazine themes made EASY!

"Let me show you, step-by-step,
how to build a great website using FREE tools."


Hello,

Would you like an eye-catching WordPress website, but you don't know where to start?


A Branford Magazine website

This was my first magazine-style website

I understand. I'm an artist, and I hate the bland, basic WordPress design.

But... I didn't want to learn computer code or hire a web designer.

So, I chose the FREE Branford Magazine theme. (That's how my website looks, on the right.)

But it took me over 70 very frustrating hours to set up my first website.

As I worked, I took lots of notes.

My next website took me about three hours, total.

Wow! What a difference!

I decided to share what I'd learned to save you time and headaches.

That's why I wrote my book, "Sites that Soar!"...

basic WordPress blog
To this

Business of Art
BEFORE LUNCH!

There's even more good news. Updating my website takes less than a third as much time as it used to. That's a huge improvement!

And, here's the really amazing part:

Would you like to get on Page One at the search engines?

My "Business of Art" site had been buried somewhere on page five at Google.

Within three days of using WordPress with the Branford Magazine theme,  my site soared to the third spot on Google's first page, for my keywords.

(For awhile, I even outranked American Artist magazine, the Getty museum, and Wikipedia.)

In the month that followed, my website remained at least among the top five. [ screenshot 1 - screenshot 2]

And, it's stayed on Google's first page. (A year later, in Dec 2009, it was still in the third spot when I searched on business art -- or business + art -- though I hadn't updated the site since December 2008.)

I did the same thing with two more websites, with similar results. Each time, I learned more shortcuts. Now, I can customize a WordPress theme -- with fresh graphics, a unique sidebar, and all the plugins -- in about an hour.

 I wrote this book so you can do the same thing.

This 150-page book shares everything I learned about tweaking WordPress and the Branford Magazine theme.

(You can use this same information with most magazine-style WordPress themes, including Mimbo.)

I explain the process, step-by-step. I've included lots of screenshots from WordPress 2.7 and 2.8.x. (WordPress 2.9 looks almost exactly the same.)

Here are what two of my book pages look like. You can download the actual pages (as PDFs), to see them, free.

Here's what Jaymi Elford said...

"Aisling's e-book, Sites that Soar, takes what makes starting a blog hard out of the picture and replaces it with easy to understand instructions.

"She shows you how to make your own website using the WordPress blogging system; taking you from purchasing your own domain to customizing it with text and images.

"Her clear, crisp writing and fun, helpful examples not only show you how to set up your blog but how to do it in style. Aisling proves that you don't need to have previous coding experience to install a WordPress blog and take a free layout and customize it to fit your site's need.

"I highly recommend and endorse this e-book to all my friends who want to start their own blogs."

Here's what Vernon Pope said...

"I have been blogging and using the internet for years, but have always been intimidated by the thought of establishing my own free-standing webpage.

"'Sites that Soar' has all of the information I would need to set up my first page and make it rock, in a clear and easy-to-follow instructional format.

"Now all I need to do is decide what to call it! Thanks!"

--- Vernon Pope

Here's what Dana Detrick-Clark said...

"I have read through Sites that Soar, and I'm just amazed at how comprehensive, yet SUCCINCT you've managed to make this!

"You've created maps and timelines and all of the visuals that someone like me needs (I do know html and css, but am really clueless about php and in particular, Wordpress has scared me off several attempts prior!).

"I feel like this is just the tool I need to get me where I want to be with a Web 2.0 version of my site, that doesn't cut into my time to serve clients and make music!
