The process for creating a blog can be quite fun…and simple! The following outline will show you what the process is from start to finish.

Step 1: First you will need to fill out the Sign-up form so that we can get some vital information from you, such as what type of service you are requesting and information about your server so that we can install the WordPress system for you.

Step 2: This is for photographers who require installation of the WordPress system on their server. Purchase of the initial installation will be made here, with a payment of $50. Once payment is made, and assuming you have given us the required server information (control panel and ftp login), we will then proceed to install WordPress on your server.

Step 3: You will be directed to a Design Questionnaire and Registration form. This will make you a permanent client of Blogs for Photogs and will give Theresa more detailed information about the design you want for your blog, including any necessary plugins or customizations you desire. In addition to the design questionnaire, you can also request a Chat Session with Theresa to discuss your design and blogging needs.

Step 4: Once Theresa has received all the design information from you, she will invoice you for the work that is agreed upon, minus the blog installation fee, if applicable. This invoice will be sent just prior to her starting work on your blog, so you may not receive this until your name comes up in the queue, which can be 7-10 days after you initially signed up. If you have not heard from her after 10 days, please e-mail her at theresa@blogsforphotogs.com for a status check.

TERMS OF SERVICE AND PAYMENT CONDITIONS:

Please read thoroughly, as you will be required to agree to these services in the initial Sign-Up form.

• Any invoice for blog services must be paid in full before the work can begin.
• If, during the design consultation process (Step 3), you decide not to continue further with our services, you may opt out of your request, as long as you have made the initial blog installation payment if required.
• Once the invoice is paid, the sale is final and can not be refunded.
• Once design is complete, you agree to retain the footer link to Blogs for Photogs as blog designer and customizer.
