WordPress Website
-
Hi all,
Next month I am wanting to begin working on my website for my coaching business and I would like to stick with WordPress since my blog is WordPress and everything would be easier to combine with each other.
How would I effectively go about organising this? In terms of costs (I already have a WordPress personal yearly account) and choosing the website template and integrating everything?
Kind regards,
Steve.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Each WordPress.com site plan comes with its own features. You can learn more about WordPress.com pricing here. https://wordpress.com/pricing/
Since you are looking at creating a coaching business using WordPress.com, I would recommend you to look at the WordPress.com Business plans which packs all the features that might be necessary for your needs. The WordPress.com Personal plan you are on limits you at stages like custom theme installation and plugin support.

do I need to buy a separate WordPress.com account for a website? or is there a way of merging my blog and site together?

Hi there,
Do you want to use your existing site, http://weightliftingwithoutlimits.com/, as your website, or do you want to use a different site?
If you want to use the same site, you can convert it to a more traditional website by setting a static page as your front page, and moving your posts to a different page:
If you want to use a different site, then we can either help you move your domain and plan over to the new site, or you’ll need to purchase a separate plan for the new site, should you want an upgrade on the new site as well.
Let me know if you have any more questions about this.
@strikebuys,
In the case of duplicate threads, please don’t tag the thread you actually answer as duplicate as well. Staff and moderators go through and close threads tagged as “duplicate” on a regular basis, so it should only be added to the extra threads a user creates, not the one where we end up helping them.

Hi Kokkieh.
Yes the plan was to keep my current blog site, but convert it into a more traditional website with different pages and different elements – one page being the blog itself.
I am assuming that I can change templates to accommodate this if I like?
Many thanks

With the premium plan for instance would I be able to create boxes and elements on the website maybe a PayPal function things like that. I am a doing a online coaching business. My blog makes a part of that.

You’ll need to change the way your site is set up, e.g. setting a static front page as I explained above. You can do this in any theme, though there are some themes that are more suited for this. You can see our more business-oriented themes here:
https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/business
Note that changing a theme won’t change the way the site is set up automatically, though. That you need to do yourself. For a complete tutorial on how to set up your site as a business website you can see:

The Premium Plan will allow you to customize your theme’s CSS code, but it doesn’t let you modify the HTML. In other words, you can change the appearance or even the position of elements already on the page, but you can’t add anything that’s not there already.
This specifically refers to the way your theme is put together and functions, so headers, menus, sidebars, etc. In the content of your posts and pages, i.e. when you’re working in the editor at My Site ->Posts or Pages, you can do almost anything that’s possible with HTML (except for the few tags we block for security reasons) and CSS, either using inline CSS (possible on Free and Personal) or custom CSS (Premium and Business).
The Premium Plan will give you access to the simple payments button – a PayPal integration that lets you take payments directly from your site:
However, you can also add a PayPal Buy Now button using HTML on the Personal or Free plans:
It’s not as simple as the Simple Payments button, though :)
