Frequently asked questions
No. That’s where Rubicon CX comes in. Use my 25 years of web content experience to quickly get you up and running with the content you want to see. You will, of course, have to provide the source content, but I can help make it digitally suitable.
A platform is a system used to manage a website, making it more easy to build and update. Very few websites these days are coded by hand.
Building it takes a little knowledge, which is were we come in, but we can teach you to maintain it pretty easily.
While there are many plaforms to chose from, we focus on Ghost.io and WordPress. Another plaform (Qix, Squarespace, Blogger) choice is possible, but it would require custom templates, which could ome with an additional cost.
We can usually handle tExt34dhe works sessions required in an hour or two. Most other decisions can be handled over email.
Training will entail an hour or two over a videocoference and screen share. Additional sessions can be added as necessary.
If you can create a Word doc, updating these pages will be not too dissimilar. You just need to learn the interface.
Each project includes a month of support to help with helping you becomee comfortable with the tool. Beyond that, you may consider extended support.
Extended support is an option for those who are still completely overwhelmed by it all. Extended support would be a time and materials contract at a negotiated hourly rate for ongoing support and updates. You only would be charged for time spent.
So, as you become more familiar with things, you will find you may not need it at all, unless yuou want to make big upgrades.
