Using Wordpress For Mass Domain Development
March 28, 2009
Sometimes I hear domainers and developers complaining about wordpress being too much for a minisite, but I disagree. Most of the minisites being offered for $250 or even $175 are made using HTML, which is inefficient and complicated for a domainer with little coding knowledge to edit or add content. I’ve also seen some minisite developers using PHP as their language of choice, but they have no backend where you can add more content and increase the value of that minisite.
Being a domainer, I want to keep my websites growing to capture more visitors. So why not have a platform that makes it easy for me to add unlimited amounts of content, manage my ads, have a nice contact page, change the logo, and alot of other things an HTML or simple PHP site will make extremely difficult?
In the last few days, I’ve been working on a free wordpress theme that will make it really easy for you to mass develop your domains. I see this as a perfect opportunity to share something back with the industry after so many of you have shared insights that have allowed me to succeed. If you would like to be a part of the initial BETA round of testers, please email me as soon as possible. My first “contestant” is Frankie Aladi from SkyDomains.com, he will be the lucky BETA tester number one.
My goal is to allow the domainer who is trying to cut down on costs and develop some of their names to do so without having to pay for the base minisite. My only request is that you leave the footer link untouched, which will point to this site.
I’ll be releasing the theme in the next week, follow me on twitter @DanSanchez to stay up to date!
