I'm just wondering if I am suppose to choose a website theme based on the picture (guitar player) or is it more about the layout? I want to have a teaching website with a lot of

Hi Lisa

Ultimately with Wordpress you can design a website to look exactly the way you want it, if you are good with code. This, however, is not every body's idea of fun.

So Wordpress has themes which are layout templates.
Different themes include different layout options. such
colours,fonts, heading placement and design options, sidebars, menu styles etc.

Some may come with sample pictures and graphics like music notation images or nature etc.

The majority will let you add your own background and heading images yourself. So don't get hung up on just looking at music inspired themes.

In Wordpress, the theme templates are stored in folders on the server whilst your content is stored separately in a database. This gives you the great opportunity to play around with different themes without it deleting any of your hard written content.

So if you decide a week later that you really don't like the theme , change it., You just might have to re-point minor things like pages in menus. nothing heavy at all.


Hope this helps

Thanks Dave, very helpful, I appreciate you taking the time to explain a little about how this works.

A WordPress Theme modifies the way the site is displayed, so it is based on the layout. you can always add your own pictures etc to it .

give it some time i am sure somebody in the community will come along and elaborate on my comment . As I am relatively new to this.

That's what I thought. Thanks for responding and confirming.

Is the theme about the picture or is it a template?

The other question I have is, since I went immediately to Premium before building my websites, does that mean that I missed out on the 2 free websites?

Has the website/hosting allocations changed? According to the chart, Premium members have unlimited hosting as well as websites. I may not have the facts straight, and if I don't, please tell me.

There was a time, before the Free Membership and the platform we have now existed, when there was a limitation set on these things for paying members.

It was changed to 25 max for premium

Thanks for telling me. The chart is now dated. I need to modify the graphics in the existing one so I don't have to remove them from my campaign. I also need to update my e-mail preferences because I think I would have gotten this information otherwise. ...Fixed.

No, you didn't miss anything. Actually as a premium member, you have 25 free siterubix accounts as well as the ability to host 25 of your own domains here as well. It's all good. :)

When we joined it was unlimited but they have changed it Recently

Ok Thanks Michellle

I am on the page for buying a website for the premium membership and wondering how this works.
You deducted $16 from the cost of the website so does that mean after I pay the $3

Hi there,

if you want to update your premium membership from a monthly billing cycle to a yearly billing cycle, then this means that you'll get paid once a year instead of every month.

You say, that after deduction of $16 you only need to pay $343. So, you're upgrading to Yearly. In this case it's correct, once paid, your next billing is due in March 2016.

Paying the monthly fee or the yearly fee gives you access to EVERY feature, tool (except Jaaxy) and training at WA. This is all you pay to create a successful online business.

Hope this helps.

Nicole

Yes, thanks Nicole. I'm a little confused about how I get paid though. If I pay the for the whole year for the website, then you're saying I will only get paid once a year?!!

Hi there,

I had a typo in there and just corrected it. WA doesn't pay you unless you earn commissions by referring new members to WA or you have sales through your website.

I apologize that I've confused you with my typo but I meant when you'll get billed. If you upgrade to yearly, then you'll have to pay the membership fee once a year. When you stay as a monthly premium member, then you'll have to pay the fee every month.

If it's still confusing, I recommend that you send Kyle a PM as he can set you straight on that.

All the best,
Nicole

Ok I get it. Thanks Nicole.

After your 7 day trial is up its $19 for the first month after that month its $47 thereafter or $359 for the year..

hope this helps

Yes, thanks bmark.

One other thing, as if things weren't confusing enough already --

When you switch your membership from monthly premium to yearly premium, any unexpired portion of the current month (that you've already paid for) is prorated and applied to reduce the $359 first year's cost. (If you switch over just after making your monthly payment, most of the $47 will be deducted from the $359. If you wait until just before your current month expires, only a few dollars will be applied to the $359.)

Ok I understand. Thanks Bob

Great. I was really hoping that I wouldn't be adding yet another confusion factor for you.

Also will I have to keep up a monthly subscription to Jaaxxy after one or two month? I'm just trying to get a handle on what this might cost per month.

Yes Lisa you can download your videos and add them to your content through the "add media" button within your wordpress editor. And Jaaxxy is a monthly subscription but the keyword tool available on the wealthy affiliate site works great and it is free. Hope this helps and I wish you nothing but success. If you would like additional training on adding media just type your question into the box at the top and all the available training on that subject will appear.

Thanks, I was wondering if that was a subscription that I would have to keep up with...makes this even more affordable to use the free site.

This should help you to do this.

Thanks Tommy. I will check it out.
