ICJ Australia Redesign of Small Business Website by Lets Build a Website

Kim from ICJ Australia came to us for some 1 on 1 WordPress training to redesign their old website. The old site was built in HTML code which meant no-one at their office could edit the site. So rebuilding it in WordPress was a great solution! So anyone from the office could edit or add to the site at any time. Without a lot of effort! We rebuilt the website within a few sessions.

The site needed to be conservative to suit the nature of their business. Yet be easy for visitors to navigate and find content.

This is the new ICJ Australia website

What we did in the training

The first thing we did was change hosting

The hosting they currently had was too slow and not very helpful!
So we moved to Quadra hosting in Australia.

Next, we installed WordPress

Then uploaded a theme called Divi
Divi is great for its endless editing capabilities and layouts
We configured the Divi settings
Choosing their default color palette and fonts
And added their logo

Then we

Started adding pages
There were quite a lot of pages to bring over from the old site
Basically all we did was copy and paste over the text
As well as the blogs

Next, we created a custom home page

Including a slider with several images
We did this with the Divi page builder
Then we added 3 sidebar buttons to go to different pages
They really needed an events page, so we set this up with a plugin
We used the very popular events plugin called “The Events Calendar”
https://en-au.wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/
This plugin is really easy to set up and use
It also has a paid version if you want to charge visitors an events fee.

To sum up

We re-designed the ICJ Australia website over a few training sessions. Kim and her staff could then happily go away and edit and update the pages and content when they needed to. Which was the main reason for moving it to WordPress. As well as to make the website more modern and mobile-friendly.

Jodi was instrumental in helping me to make certain design and content changes to my WordPress website. She explained how many of the plugins work, helped me with Yoast SEO and I took away much more helpful info from my training sessions. I wouldn't hesitate to go to Jodi again if there was something I couldn't do on WordPress.

I'm a writer who just set up a website and had no idea how to wrangle Wordpress. I had an hour's Skype training with Jodi. It was clear and focused, and I can now add posts, insert images, link things, and understand SEO a whole lot better. Highly recommended!

Excellent session, Jodi walked me through how to properly set up my Wordpress site. She was patient with me and quick to solve the problems I encountered. I may not have done it by myself. Without this help I may have given up.
