Who it’s for
My on-demand WordPress website editing and updating service is for charities and not-for-profit organizations in Canada.
It’s ideal if you have a WordPress website and you occasionally need someone to help you make edits, changes or updates to your site’s contents. Unlike other firms that sell monthly or annual website maintenance plans, I’m available to do even minor changes and edits for you whenever you need them, without any contract or subscription.
How it works
Once we chat and agree that my service is a good fit for your website editing needs, I set you up as a new client of mine, and you set me up as a new user with administrator access on your WordPress website.
Then, just email me anytime you need an edit or change to your website, no matter how small. If you need a lot of work done, please let me know when you’d like me to estimate how long a specific job will take me before proceeding. And if you have a monthly cap on your budget for website upkeep, please do let me know that as well.
Tracking my time at CAD $20 per quarter-hour, I’ll make the changes on your website that you’ve requested / approved, and notify you by email when I’m done. Most quick edits can be done within a day.
At the end of any month that I’ve done work for you, I’ll email you an invoice for my time, along with a list of completed tasks. Payment is easy, even for small amounts, by Interac e-Transfer (Canadian clients only).
About me
I’ve been helping not-for-profit organizations and small businesses to communicate clearly and effectively since 1985. I was the marketing manager for a few different companies and organizations from 1985 to 2006. After that I had my own business, Best Light Communication, with my late brother and business partner John Herr. For nearly 20 years we provided marketing and creative services, including WordPress website design and maintenance, to many small businesses and charities.
I created my very first website back in 1996, and my very first WordPress website in 2006. Over the years I’ve created, modified and maintained WordPress websites for many different organizations and small businesses.
About WordPress
WordPress is a very popular, free, and user-friendly way to create a website without needing to know how to code HTML, CSS, PHP or JavaScript, the coding languages with which WordPress is built. This article by Kinsta, What Is WordPress? Explained for Beginners, is a very good introduction to WordPress.
In the web design world, WordPress is known as a Content Management System, defined by Hubspot as “a software application that allows users to build and manage a website without having to code it from scratch, or know how to code at all.”
WordPress is in fact the world’s most popular content management system. According to recent statistics, as of 2024, WordPress powers 43.6% of all of the websites on the Internet! Or, as that article concludes, “WordPress is, without a doubt, the world’s most popular way to build a website.”
