I am refocusing my work to WordPress!

For most of my clients WordPress is now the best choice.  When combined with SiteGround hosting the Elementor page builder and the amazing number of plugins, the creative and technical options are irresistible.  Weebly may still be a good choice for some situations, and I will continue to offer it when it best suits your needs. 

Here are a couple of examples of recent work with WordPress:

This one-page site features a scrolling text element on the right hand side (not possible with Weebly) that allows me to present the longer text field in a size that matches the static text element on the left.  It is not in production yet, but you can see it at rockharbor.biz
I am migrating jimhydeshelp.com to Wordpress.  The site is not fully functional yet, but this screenshot can give you an idea of the kind of design creativity that is easily done with WordPress and impossible with Weebly.  You can see it at jimh50.sg-host.com/

A little about me...

Picture

I have Masters degrees in Business and  Education.  My MBA was in marketing,  but my business career focused on business systems architecture, database design and project management for major Silicon Valley corporations such as Oracle, Sun Microsystems and Lockheed, as well as various startups.  My mission is to support your goals with that same level of professionalism.


From my clients...

Jim did a wonderful job helping me create my website. He asked, and really heard, what I wanted and helped me carry it out. He handled the technical part, and, to his credit, tried to teach me! (He was very patient as I am NOT a tech nerd!). I liked the way we worked together, bouncing ideas back and forth, each adding our creative input until we came up with satisfying results. And this was ALL on line! I highly recommend Jim; you are in great hands.
...Julia Tewksbury, radiantcentermassage.com

I was very reluctant to initiate a website, so I am particularly grateful for Jim’s patient support as I got started. He has worked to create a website that is personally designed for my intentions and style, and I have especially appreciated his creative suggestions along the way. I am confident Jim will offer the same level of commitment to anyone working with him on a website design.
...Tom Ewell, tomewellconnections.org
Working with Jim was a pleasure. His artistic sensibility was instrumental in achieving what I wanted for my website. He is a good listener and had some suggestions which contributed to a more engaging site than I was able to imagine for myself. When you hire someone to do a website it is a risk that they might not have the sensitivity to pick up on what you are trying to create but Jim took the time to get a sound understanding of my vision.
...Judith Adams, judithadamspoetry.com
"Jim took my text and design ideas, gave me some helpful comments, and created two affordable websites for me.  Whenever I wanted something a bit out of the ordinary, he researched possible solutions and provided me with several different options.  He was very professional and helpful, and was even willing to come to my house for meetings.  Thanks Jim!"

"Jim Hyde and his Professional Services of website building and creation came in very handy for me. I had a low budget at the time and I needed a website as soon as possible. Jim came in and gave me exactly that. And although it's been a couple years my website is still operational and still meets my needs. It continues to draw just the right amount of clients that I need to keep my Psychotherapy practice up and running. I highly recommend his services especially if you're on a low budget and you want the option to do some of the work yourself Jim is the guy for you."

Shawn commissioned this site to display her art and submit a grant request. She wanted it to be super-streamlined.  Very little text -- it doesn't even have a menu!  (She got the grant.)

Use email to connect with your audience...

Picture
Custom email can be the perfect compliment to your website.  This "push" marketing tool will not only draw more traffic to your site, but it will connect you with your audience in entirely new ways.  
Depending on your goals you can promote your latest writing, display your art, advertise new products for sale, offer special discounts, promote events, send out regular blogs or videos, etc.  Whatever you think would appeal to your audience.
All we need is a list of contacts and I can get you started with a personalized email campaign.  As always, I will provide you with just the right amount of support, all the way from a simple consultation with some ideas or recommendations, to full implementation and management of your campaigns using content you provide.
