FRUSTRATED! Should I go to WIX instead?

    Your info does not state the following:

    1. Premium Plan – 13GB storage. How many 1 or 2 minute videos can I store?
    2. Can I link my Youtube Video instead to the site?
    3. I have my own domain (4see.com). If I purchase Premium, then do I get my site to show 4see.xxx – or how will it appear?
    4. Your themes are limited – I don’t see anything with ‘moving’ pictures like most web sites. Am I missing any?
    5. Do I still need to pay for the theme once a premium plan is purchased?

    Please respond ASAP.

    Thanks

    Hi 4seedesigns,

    1. Premium Plan – 13GB storage. How many 1 or 2 minute videos can I store?

    Video sizes vary and it largely depends on compression, resolution and frame rate. As a rough estimate I’d say around 100MB for 1 minute. Based on that, 13GB would be enough space to approx 130 videos. But you can experiment with reducing the file size.

    2. Can I link my Youtube Video instead to the site?

    Embedding videos from YouTube would be a great way of saving storage space. This guide explains the steps:

    3. I have my own domain (4see.com). If I purchase Premium, then do I get my site to show 4see.xxx – or how will it appear?

    Yes, you can use Domain Mapping to connect the domain you already own, to your WordPress.com site:

    Each paid plan includes a domain credit which you can use to map an existing domain or register a new one.

    4. Your themes are limited – I don’t see anything with ‘moving’ pictures like most web sites. Am I missing any?

    Our Theme Showcase contains all of the WordPress.com themes available:

    https://theme.wordpress.com/

    I’m not sure what you mean by moving pictures, do you have a link to an example of this on another site?

    5. Do I still need to pay for the theme once a premium plan is purchased?

    No, the Premium plan includes unlimited access to Premium themes:

    I’m happy to answer any other questions!

    Thanks again. What about Font Options? The FREE version has NONE. Do the other plans offer a variety of fonts and formatting of text?

    Hi 4seedesigns,

    What about Font Options? The FREE version has NONE.

    The Font panel in your Customizer provides a range of free Google fonts to choose from. You can select a base font for the text and a heading font:

    Change Your Site’s Fonts

    Selecting a font will display some sizing options underneath.

    Do the other plans offer a variety of fonts and formatting of text?

    Premium and Business plan owners can use Custom Design — a feature that gives you more control over your sites look and feel:

    CSS can be used to add additional styles to your site beyond what is available in the default Customizer with the Free plan:

    Let me know if you need any more information.
