Okay I am tired of my website again... still.... I will continue to use FB for hosting and SEO but their designs blow IMHO..

So talk to me about WP sites. I know Apgar and C-dub have them.

What attracts me is the clean look, ability to add text or pics or testimonials whenever I want. I am also changing the content to shoot for more an ideal clients to me.

Any drawbacks? Can I do this with paid help from Len?

I cannot vouch for whether or not Len would take your money, but he did build mine using WP. I like it because Len let's me play with it sometimes and I can figure things out without too much swearing. I see no drawbacks so far.

It might help your case if you repost this occasionally; www.GeekSpecialties.com.

Good Luck

No (IMHO) and Yes.

Once it's set up, it is uber-easy to add content on your own.

That's kind of what I figured.

BTW got your email, I know I hate that set up for pics. This is one reason I am going to redo my site. I like the layouts of WP sites.

So did Len do yours Chris as well?

I found a template I liked and he set it up for me (he pointed me to the template site).

He loaded the template to a test site to play with and work out the bugs. After working my way through how I wanted it to look, and how I wanted it organized, he loaded it on my server in a subdirectory so I could start loading content and continue to tweak the look. After I'd gotten everything close to looking the way I wanted, he moved it over and made it live.

As I went through the process of loading the content, he helped make adjustments and changes to it--worked out the bugs--and loaded a bunch of plugins to improve functionality and SEO.
