After looking at our design packages and pricing to see what's available, you'll need to fill out our custom design quote form to be added to our schedule or ask any questions.
The timeframe can vary widely depending on the scope of your project, how quickly you respond to our emails, the number of changes needed, etc. Each of our design packages lists an estimation of the time required for each type of custom web project. We can rush projects with an additional fee if you need your project completed for a specific occasion.
If you are using WordPress for your website or blog design, you will have to maintain hosting which usually runs approximately $6 - $15/month. There are many hosting companies where you can purchase hosting including GoDaddy, BlueHost, HostGator & us. We offer hosting management/hosting for $12/month in which we take care of all the set up requirements/updates to make sure your site is running correctly.
Ello Themes does offer payment plans. For all custom web designs we require a 50% deposit to start the design process and the remainder of the project is paid at 40% to start development once your design has been approved and a final payment of the remaining 10% to launch.
We accept secure payment via PayPal. You do not have to have a PayPal account to pay using PayPal. You can also pay using a credit card through our PayPal set up.
We do offer rushed design services, within reason. If your project needs to be rushed for any reason, let us know so we can assess the timeframe and invoice you for the additional rush fee.

A custom WordPress web design utilizes the WordPress.org back-end platform to enable you to easily update content on your site without requiring coding knowledge. A custom HTML/PHP Web Design is created from scratch and does require knowledge of HTML/PHP/Javascript, etc. to make updates. We offer updating services making this option very useful if you don't want to update your own site or don't change the content frequently. Both have advantages depending on the specific project.
We accept payment using PayPal as a processing method. You don't need a PayPal account to order - once you are directed to PayPal, you can choose to pay without an account and pay with a credit card or prepaid gift card.

Blogger & WordPress.com blogs work great for blogging. Neither one requires hosting or a domain name to be purchased in order to use it. However each have their own limitations. WordPress.org is another platform created for blogging & it also works great for this purpose. However, WordPress.org can also be used to create a fully functioning website that you can update yourself without the need to know extensive code. WordPress.org requires you to purchase both hosting & a domain name before it can be set up.
You will need to purchase hosting if you are purchasing a premade WordPress.org theme, custom WordPress blog design, or a custom website.
There are literally thousands of companies that offer hosting. If you're ordering hosting for a WordPress.org blog or website, it's best to contact the company before ordering to make sure it will work with WordPress.org. Most hosting does, although if you are unfamiliar with hosting you may end up purchasing the wrong package, & many companies will also install the WordPress.org platform for free with the purchase of hosting.
No, unfortunately WordPress.com does not allow custom templates to be uploaded. If you would like to use a blogging platform that doesn't require hosting, you may want to consider Blogger.
