Juan put together a great how to process on changing a free report on a website. One of our clients made some changes to her free report and wanted to update it. Here is how to do it: How to Edit Free Reports in Site
This is a template for what I have been sending clients. Also attached is the spreadsheet I send them and the image to show them how to see the price of the photo.
For IMAGES, we suggest you search on istockphotos.com. Attached you will find a spreadsheet which you can use to let us know your image selections. (Please do NOT purchase the images. We will purchase them in the correct size for your site, usually small, or x-small.)
To see the cost of the photo, click on Show $USD Pricing (see image below) This will change the price from credits to dollars.
We recommend that all your images share a common theme – nature, sad/distressed people, or happy people, etc.

Sometimes its worth combining client side respnsiveness (using css queries..) with server side detection (in the street: “ua sniffing”). Using server side techniques we can:
-render different sizes of images. For example, before sending a 1000px*750px image to a 320px wide device, we could resize it using the server power and send a small version of the image, which is all the mobile device needs.
-Instead of “hiding” html we could avoid rendering it as its not going to be used, thus reducing the number of bytes sent..

Can someone let me know if we can get free domain names for clients since we have an account with them? Do you have discounts on these domains?
If we are changing domain names for a client, shouldn’t we be responsible for purchasing it too?
We pay hostgator just like they do. On top of that, we add extra services — security monitoring and WP and plugin upgrades.
We are not a registrar. We simply provide add-ons to hosting and package it all in a hosting package that is more affordable and more secure than if they were to obtain those services on their own.
So, no… we don’t get involved in the domain name acquisition game. They can do that on their own.
There is really no such thing as changing domain names. You buy a new one and discard the old. We make a recommendation on what we think is best and they agree or not.
If they don’t want to go to their registrar and purchase a new domain name, we can do it for them in their account with their credit card for our hourly fee.
Domain names are very cheap. We are spending more money talking about than the domain name costs 🙂
Before the developer can set up the privacy policy page, you must create a privacy policy. Below are the steps on how to do so (thanks to Dave for helping me learn!)
1. Go to http://www.freeprivacypolicy.com
2. Login with username: admin@page1pros.org and password: 848624
3. Click “Create Another Privacy Policy Now”
4. Fill out form – see attached screenshots for what to select
5. Click submit
6. Send login information to developer, so they can create a landing page (that opens in a new window) and a nav item in the footer.
Hi
I am running into issues with responsive themes – the TRIM theme from ELEGANT themes shows up this way on mobile devices –
http://screencast.com/t/8RECoMfnetB
but client wants it this way:

I have seen other responsive sites (wordpress) that display all menu items automatically: like this one – twenty eleven –
http://awesomescreenshot.com/079th7c7d
Is there a quick workaround, like doesn’t cost a thing, for displaying all nav items on mobile devices for a responsive WP site?
If not, I have had an estimate of about 1 hr to make it so. Are there any other tricks to display the nav item.
What is the standard (if any) navigation for responsive sites?
THANK YOU ALL
thanks.
Actually, the mobile menu isnt automatically created on any theme. Whats happening is that navs are duplicated: one for desktop and tablets, and one for mobile. So if you inspect header.php for exampleyou may find that two navs are created, but in the css one of them will be hidden depending on the device’swidth. This is the technique used in Trim, I have highlighted both menus in the code: http://prntscr.com/2pnkdq
Other times the same menu is used and the floats are cleared in mobile, so that each nav item extends the whole line. However, not always this is possible, and thats why we have to resort to the option above..
Another possible solution is to overwrite the css codes that displays and hides the menu depending on the device’s width.
ok to overwrite the css codes or change the classic default css on a mobile device, how long does this take???
Around an hour or two depending on the codes used in the theme
Hi all,
I know we use Backup Buddy and Askimet but are there others we use or recommend that we use for clients? Clients have been asking me.
thanks.
We use sucuri for malware monitoring. Its a premium plugin and I think we have a package for it – http://www.counselingwise.com/wordpress-hack-monitor-service/
Note that if the client signs up for our Security Plan hosting, the $20/month plan, we utilize Sucuri on their behalf to monitor their site every 6 hours. We also use another paid plugin, ManageWP, that notifies us when their WP version and/or any of their plugins are downlevel and causing a security risk, and we upgrade these with not additional charge.
It’s probably cheaper for them to go with us than to pay for these paid services.

This is a good example of a professional credibility icon footer: http://barbarafane.com/
We did NOT create this site, but its a good example of professional associations in a footer.
