    Good Morning,

    Please can you assist me?

    I work for a small business in South Africa, and we are looking at redoing our website. We would like to easily access and edit the website without too much hassle.

    Please see some background below.

    – We do not need email addresses.
    – We have a domain.
    – We have someone doing our design.
    – We would like to add a commerce shop at some point.
    – We would like to learn more about how your word press works.

    I see that you do build websites, can you tell me more about it.

    Thanks

    I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

    Hi @bryceetter, welcome to the community. I wanted to swing back to address your points:

    • You can opt out of having custom email. Email forwarders could be a good option for you, too, and they’re free with your domain connection.
    • You can connect an existing domain, or you can transfer it to us.
    • Your designer would be welcome to work with us. We have resources for them, or resources you can use, too.
    • If you want to set up the site then add e-commerce later, no problem. Your site can grow with you, and you can always upgrade your site’s plan when you’re ready.
    • If you want the most up-to-the-moment information on what WordPress can do for you, the webinars may be a great place to start. You can watch recordings, or you’d be welcome to join live: shttps://wordpress.com/webinars/

    And, we’re happy to answer any questions you have here, too.

    One thing I want to share as well: you and your designer have probably heard of WordPress.org and WordPress.com. A lot of folks get confused on that, so just to clarify, WordPress (often called WordPress.org) is free, DIY software you can run on just about any web server. And WordPress.com is our managed hosting service. We host and manage the software for you. We have more info on that here.

    Let us know if you need more help!

    Oh! And I missed the last question:

    I see that you do build websites, can you tell me more about it.

    Yes! Have you seen the info on this page? Sites at Built by WordPress.com start at $499 plus your Premium plan, or they can build larger, more customized sites if needed. If you’ll fill out the form there, they can assess what you’ll need.
