  Hi. I am a novice domainer who is looking for a few reputable companies to choose from who can create 1 page WordPress websites at a reasonable price, for my small portfolio, limited to about 5 sites at a time.

  The comparison would be like a Frank Schilling website, but instead of just 50 links, this would be compelling to stay on and would have original content in the middle; google adsense and some affiliate ads, as well as some vertical photos, and a kickin Header photo.

  And, these websites would have to have some basic initial one time only (because of budget) SEO to the Title; Metatags; and Content with Hyperlinked keywords/ Ads, to kick-start the sites.

  This, I feel, due to limited finances, should be a good start in gaining momentum in climbing the search engine pages.

  Any suggestions as to what Iam looking for would be much appreciated!

  Also, would it make any difference if the site had, say 5 pages, instead of just 1, as far as Google bots are concerned in climbing the pages faster?

  Thank you

  Brad

  Brad,

  What you are asking for is rather simple for someone well versed in WordPress installation, and, conversely, very difficult for someone who knows nothing about hosting, WordPress and plugins. :)

  You could have someone setup a system of multiple websites on one account at HostGator or HostMonster, where you just point a domain to the account and can use a plugin called WP Domain Mapping (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/) to automatically create the websites for you. Use a simple theme like twentyeleven and you’re up and running quickly.

  Use a well-built plugin like “All In One SEO” to SEO the homepage and every other page you add.

  As for finances, a host should be about $4 per month and less if you buy a year at a time. Then you point all your domains at the one hosting account. The plugins I mentioned are free, so there is no extra cost there.

  In terms of your time, it will take you anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes to setup a website, not including the time you need to write the content. Once you get your process down, it’s much faster.

  Try reaching out to Brian Diener (@TeenDomainer). He does this type of work, as you can see in his show: http://www.domainsherpa.com/brian-diener-teendomainer-interview/

  You could also post for this type of job on a board like Elance or ScriptLance.

  Good luck!

  Andrew

  Hi Andrew

  Thank you for the information. Sorry for the delay in responding Im getting use to posting questions and finding answers of forums.

  I will try to create one of these sites, but because I am pressed for time, I feel that I will need a pro to create a simple but quality looking 1 page website.

  I know of Teen Domainer and had seen the video, and was looking forward to using his services, but he had got back to me and stated he no longer creates mini sites for $65+, since he now is working for Domain Holdings.com, whose starting prices are $150+.

  That is a sharp shift up in pricing and I wanted to know of other companies, and options to compare pricing and quality of websites created.

  Thank you again for the information.

  Brad
