What you can offer

Plan the pages, create a consistent design, and get a small business website ready to launch.

Detailed deliverables

Complete WordPress websites for local businesses and professionals: 5–8 pages, custom theme styling, written copy, optimized images, a contact form, basic SEO, analytics, and a monthly content plan. Plus site rebuilds and care plans.

Example service prices
$800–$2,500 for a 5–8 page business site. $150–$400 for a landing page. Care plans (updates, backups, two posts a month) at $75–$250 per month are the recurring revenue.
Planning estimate, not a promise
Finding clients takes time. There is no guaranteed timeline or income.

You will make

  • A Grok Bot connected to a WordPress install through the REST API and WP-CLI, proven by creating a page from chat
  • A site blueprint: sitemap, page briefs, copy deck and design tokens generated from one intake
  • A styled block theme with global styles, header, footer, and template parts set by the Bot
  • Pages with copy, images, a form, SEO titles and descriptions, schema, analytics and a speed score above 90
  • A launched site for the capstone client with a care-plan routine and a hand-off document

Final practice project: A new site for Brightside Family Dental

A practice assignment from Brightside Family Dental (Family dental practice (2 dentists, 1 hygienist team)). You will see the scoring guide (rubric) before you start.

What we checkWhat earns the full 4 points
Brief followedSeven pages per sitemap; new-patient and Invisalign paths are prominent; all deliverables present
Build qualityLean theme, tokens applied consistently, patterns used, mobile menu works, no page-builder plugin, form tested
Copy and voiceHeadline says what and for whom in six words; sections under 60 words; her voice; only brand-sheet facts; ASK lines for the rest
SEO and speedTitles/descriptions set, schema validates, sitemap submitted, redirects return 301, PageSpeed mobile 90+
OperationsBackups scheduled, routines created with gates, hand-off a non-technical client can follow, change-request line stated
Honest expectations. WordPress is easy to start and easy to break: plugin conflicts, slow themes and missed updates are the whole care-plan business. This track builds lean: one theme, six plugins, staging before production, backups before every change. Never hand the Bot a client’s only admin login; create a separate admin user it can use and you can revoke.
