What's up with the links to Instagram and TikTok on the About us page? 🔗 🤷♂️ --> 🙅
Current performance is quite low: https://pagespeed.web.dev/report?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbragamontessori.com 🐌
SEO is "OK". 👌
@nelsonic I chose the current website's theme out of the couple of free options that WordPress offers. https://wordpress.com/themes/free/bragamontessori.com
I have be through almost all of them and picked the current theme that we have (as shared above).
I'm unable to use any other layouts/theme options outside of the website because downloading/installing other themes is only possible a in premium account. I downloaded one of them and tried to install it, but does not work with the free account:
I know it deserves some more love, but I tied up the website by removing those (installed automatically, not by me) social media links and other useless information.
We don't have a "free" account with Wordpress.com by any means.
We paid €8/month
= €96/year
for the "Premium" account to have the custom domain.
Wordpress.com forcing us to upgrade to their "Business Plan" (€40/month
)
just to change the theme is a deal-breaker IMO. 🤦♂️
oh, that's really sad and expensive 😢
It's not just that they want €40/month
(€480/year
) the way I think about anything tech is with a "5 year Plan" and if you extrapolate €2,500
is the least we would pay for this if we upgrade to their "Business Plan" because then there are many other add-ons/up-sells they will want to charge us for like the "Advanced SEO" plugin, user-management and spam filtering. Everything is extra even though many of these plugins used to be free!!
Anyway, we'll have an alternative soon enough. 🤞 For now we can still do research on themes/layout and capture it here in this issue. 🙏
At present our website is pretty generic/boring ... see snapshot in comment below ⬇️
