New Hosted WordPress Website Builder … for peanuts

· ·

Enter the world’s first hybrid publishing solution – with the ease of an all-in-one, hosted website builder and the flexible power of WordPress!
Perfect for bloggers, podcasters, and affiliate marketers, as well as those selling physical products, digital downloads, and membership programs.

What are StudioPress Sites?

wordpress website builderStudioPress Sites have the power of WordPress but they don’t require the maintenance and upkeep associated with self-hosted websites or blogs.
This means that StudioPress is providing a hosted version of the Genesis Framework. Users will have all of the power of Genesis, but won’t require any of the upkeep associated with running their own website.
You can load one of twenty popular Genesis themes for free. No need to purchase or maintain additional software licenses. The built-in theme library means you can install any of the themes with just one click.
Plus get a bunch of hand-picked plugins and free 24/7 support and much more. All for $27 – $37 a month!
The Genesis Framework already powers over 500,000 sites, and it’s the foundation of your new StudioPress Site. With search engine optimized code, airtight security, instant updates, customizable widget and layout options, and a huge developer community, Genesis is the framework that makes WordPress easier, without sacrificing power or flexibility.

Mobile-Optimized HTML5 Designs

You want sleek, professional design — without paying a fortune for it and without fearing instant obsolescence as web design evolves. Choose from a score of included turnkey “mobile optimized” HTML5 designs that provide beautiful frames for your content. Feel free to personalize any of the included themes by tweaking the CSS, or go to a completely custom Genesis child theme.

Fast Loading Performance

Get started setting up your StudioPress Site right away on our infrastructure that’s optimized specifically for peak WordPress performance. Site speed and page load times are too important to be jammed on a box with hundreds of generic WordPress installs. More importantly, never face the experience of your site crashing just because you succeed in getting big traffic.

Zero Hosting Hassles

Not only do you enjoy superior speed and performance with your StudioPress Site, you also avoid the hassle of self-hosted WordPress, like surprise expenses for bandwidth upcharges, storage, CPU’s and RAM. Even as your StudioPress Site remains solid during surprise traffic spikes, you won’t pay extra for short-term success on the way to sustained higher traffic.

Rock-Solid Security

Even beyond the security features built into Genesis and the included automatic plugin and theme maintenance, there’s more to protect your StudioPress Site. Our architecture is designed to maximize security and performance — including intrusion prevention, continuous scanning and monitoring for malware, distributed denial of service (DDoS) protection, and more.

Advanced SEO Functionality

The SEO features of the Genesis Framework helped make it the industry standard among WordPress users. For StudioPress Sites, however, we’re taking it even further, with advanced schema control, XML sitemap generation, robots.txt generation, asynchronous JavaScript loading, enhanced Open Graph output, breadcrumb title control, AMP support, and more.

Automatic Plugin and Theme Maintenance

Getting hacked is no laughing matter, and the number one way bad guys get in is through outdated themes, plugins, and old versions of WordPress. Many WordPress site owners now spend $79 or more every month to have an outside service keep things updated and safe. StudioPress technology takes care of this for you at no extra charge.

One-Click Install of Included Plugins

Never wonder which plugins are trustworthy, thanks to your StudioPress Site’s repository of one-click solutions for the premium functionality you desire. Choose from an ever-expanding selection including WooCommerce, Design Palette Pro, AMP, Beaver Builder Lite, OptinMonster, AffiliateWP, Soliloquy Lite, Easy Digital Downloads, Restrict Content Pro, Ninja Forms, WPForms Lite, and more to come.

World Class Support

StudioPress Sites are truly unique. The entire service has been designed from the ground up to promote integrated ease-of-use while eliminating confusion and the chance that something will go wrong.  If something does go off the rails, our friendly support team is standing by 24/7 to assist you in getting back on track fast.

We Build Websites Backwards

· ·

When it comes to building websites, best-selling author Seth Godin had it right back in 2013 when he said:

The only reason to build a website is to change someone. If you can’t tell me the change and you can’t tell me the someone, then you’re wasting your time.”

Mr. Godin went on to list a series of questions to address the many challenges of any website:
(1) Who is this site for? (2) How did they find out about it? (3)  What do you want visitors to do when they reach your site? (4) How will they decide to do that. (5)What promises do you make to cause that action?
Freelance writer Todd Jones explains the process of creating a website which begins “with the end in mind”, to quote Stephen Covey.  “It starts with solving a problem, and the most pressing problem of businesses of all sizes is converting visitors.”

Genesis Web Designer. Minimalist Theme.

· ·

Every Genesis web designer favors this point of view: “Everything should be as simple as possible, but never simpler,” said Albert Einstein!
In my day we called it “classic”. It always meant “timeless”. It always implied “simple and beautiful”. Great beauties like Katherine Hepburn and Audrey Hepburn come to mind. A string of white pearls on a sweater. No adjectives required.
That’s it, too. Fewer words were needed to sum up what are feelings, and cannot and need not be described. Because you just know. There is great power in just getting to the meat of the matter immediately. No waste.
Who has the time anyway?
Which brings me to the meat of this matter which is Minimalist Web Design and StudioPress Themes.
Big fans of minimalist design, StudioPress has recently launched various minimalist child themes, mobile responsive and upgraded for Genesis 2.0. Minimalism at its smartest, Modern Portfolio Theme and the Brunch Pro theme are just some of those themes with the perfect layout for displaying work online, building your brand, and ultimately converting visitors into customers.
We see minimalist design all around : a modern phone, looking at a slick brochure or other graphically-presented information, sitting in a simple living space on a sleek sofa, and so forth.
With its roots in the “Less is more” catch phrase of architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe … what is minimalist web design anyway?
It’s Where Every Detail Counts
In a minimalist design, every detail has significance. Details such as the mix of typography, a border around an image, subtle colored boxes, the color palette, the white space, every part becomes important to the overall look and feel of the website when the elements are few.
Where Color Is Critical
Color takes on added significance in a minimalist design. Choosing the right palette or accent colors is vital. Many designers opt for a simple black, white and/or gray palette, but minimalism has room for any color in the rainbow
And White Is For Emphasis
White space is critical to emphasizing certain elements over others. White space “makes” a design minimalist to a large extent.
Big typography is often used in place of images to add more graphic interest to a website.
The best part about minimalism in web design is that it comes in many styles, colors and sizes, but always with the same goal in mind – saying the most while saying the least.
Now that web design is changing print design as we speak, we may start to see minimalist design in newspapers and magazines. As a reader of The New York Times for the last 100 years, I can already see the impressive changes of the Times’ graphics and major imagery. Who knows what the next 100 will bring?
