massive website building fail-help please
Sorry for the third post today.
So got my laptop back and have been trying to build my website with wordpress. By god what a ball ache that is! Have got nowhere, i thoight i could use a templete and edit like i can so with Wix but nope its just left me stressed and fed up. I have no patiencefor this kind of shit so what do i do? I cant afford to hire a pro to design my site. I would go with wix but i dont wsnt to host with them, i want to host with dreamhost. Other drag and drop builders are no where near as good either and i like just how many plugins i can get with wordpress. So left feeling really stuck and fed up with it. Surely it should be really straight forward?

I am an expert with Wordpress themes. Been doing it 7 years. Wix is kinda crappy, but its cheap. You can have me help you with Wordpress if you'd like?
Re: massive website building fail-help please
Yeah WordPress isn't quite as user friendly as you would think. That's why people pay WordPress professionals like myself and Ellie to build and run their WP sites for them. If you want something easy though with the membership site functionality I highly recommend Model Centro. Here's the official Model Centro/Adult Centro thread: https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sh...-makes-it-easy
They do take a larger percentage than if you were to use your own payment processor, but there's no up-front fees like with getting your own processor and they have some really great tools to use.

You can have a wix site and host with dreamhost, I do :) Here's my link https://www.dreamhost.com/r.cgi?1189138 x

I wish I could brag about my vanilla portfolio I did way back when but I don't cross vanilla with this work. I have been working with Wordpress since 2009. I know how to edit php files. I'm good with FTP as well. So if you need anything, just let me know. I thought about opening a design studio for cammodels but wasn't sure how busy I would be.
Re: massive website building fail-help please
I struggled with wordpress for 4 years, bought an $80 template and couldn't even get it to look like the demo... finally gave up haha!
Re: massive website building fail-help please
I see in the other thread you were talking about making a members site have you looked into model centro?

Gggrrr also i really dont loke the look of model centro and on wix i can create a member site and MC takes way too much of a percentage. I suppose i could set up on wix then get someone to migrate it to wordpress and then host on dream host?

Hello malika,
worpress is not really that hard to handle. I was able to create a wordpress website, just by following the instructions of a tutorial on Youtube. Especially if you don't want to create something extremely complecated. If it is not against the rules of the forum, I will edit for you some links here. Otherwise just jump to Youtube and search for "How to make a Wordpress website"
Good luck :)
Re: massive website building fail-help please
surely what i need cannot be that hard to create? i have also been looking into squarespace which looks stunning and has some great benefits at a good price and its adult friendly. so basically i want the following;
*landing page duh!
*about me
*show information
* twitter block so that clients can follow and see latest tweets
* store with ecwid so that purchases can be made and all payments will be made via bitcoin inc subscriptions. (bitcoin means that there is no fruad or charges backs, can give refunds at my discretion and can transfer to my bank account without anyone knowing this information. also allows a direct transfer from bitcoin to GBP so wont have issues with fluction, if someone pays me £10 in bitcoin i get £10 in GBP minus fees. transaction fees are 1% no more!)
*member login so that clients can log in and view all their content
*right click disable feature
*video/clip protection so it cant end up else where
*delivery code section so my wishlist can be on my site as well
surely this is not too much to be able to set up, i do really like wix but then compared to the design of squarespace, which is more in line with my brand image, it doesnt look as good.

Most of what you listed can be accomplished with wordpress with the right plugsins, though I'm not sure if such video/clip protection exists. The best you can do is watermark your videos and hope for the best. I don't think Squarespace is adult friendly but I could be wrong.
Some things to consider with accepting payments on your site:
1. No matter how you're accepting payments, you will need to purchase a SSL certificate from your hosting provider.
2. While bitcoin is great, not everyone uses it. You'll lose a lot of potential customers if that's the only payment method you take for subscriptions.
This is the adult industry, girl. Sites and payment processing aren't gonna be cheap or free for this stuff and if they are, they're gonna take a chunk of your income. That's just how it works. We're "high risk" and companies generally charge more for working with us unfortunately.
