Be On A First-Name Basis With Your “Web Guy”

No language issues with offshore teams. No micromanagement. No wading through lists of freelancers you don’t know, wondering who you can trust.

Instead, just friendly competence to help you build and maintain your WordPress-powered membership site & business platform. By somebody who has been doing it for over 20 years.

Sign Up Now Let’s Talk First

When you put your website into the care of Concierge, I become your WordPress business partner. Here’s what that means…

It means I will handle the “tech stuff” so you don’t have to worry about it. The hosting, the plugins, the security, the optimizations, the maintenance, the fixes, the “plugin conflicts”. You will no longer be on your own.

It means you’ll have somebody on hand when things get confusing. I answer questions in plain-English… and often record private videos for my clients to make things even more personal.

It means you won’t have to be nickel-and-dimed researching and buying numerous plugin licenses. My entire toolkit will be available to use on your website. Everything is fully licensed. Plus, because I know these tools well, I know they work together and I will ensure they do. No more frankenstein site where you feel like pieces of it are held together with duct tape. 🤪

But, websites are not “set it and forget it”. It isn’t just about tech and maintenance. It also comes down to continuing growth and improvement. All to improve the effectiveness of your site as a marketing & sales asset. So…

Concierge means you’ll have my hands-on help and advice for things like conversion optimization, automation, design tweaks and more. Need a new form built? A new automation? A landing page? A working opt-in process? No problem…. I do it all the time. 😇

It means I’ll be there to help you build a site which does what you need. And to execute and build out projects and improvements and execute on your strategies.

I have also been running my own business for the last 25 years. I’ve also worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs over the years on their own businesses. I’ve recorded hundreds of videos, launched online courses, done product launches, done webinars… you name it. I’m not just a “tech guy”, but I know the ups and downs of running a small business. I know marketing and conversions.

When you enroll your site in Concierge, it means I will bring my unique mix of skills (entrepreneurial, marketing and tech) to your website…. so together we can make it sing!

Best experience I have ever had with the digital technical world.

He’s been my rock.

David is awesome, couldn’t ask for anyone better to help me with my projects and business. I trust him 100% I’ve been in his realm for many years using his courses and in 2024 knew he was the one to tackle one of our biggest projects to date in 20 years in business! … and he’s been my rock. He’s easy and so gentle with my total tech-unsaviness. He gives you input, is responsive, knowledgeable, genuine and a family man, what else do you want?!

“It has made my life so much simpler and better.”

Dave, It’s hard for me to identify exactly all the things you are doing monthly on my website. But tech has run so smoothly since I joined your monthly maintenance program it has made my life so much simpler and better. It clearly is making a positive impact on the function of my online business. Your monthly maintenance program, combined with the transition from Infusionsoft to FluentCRM which you engineered and completed, has saved me $4-500.00 each month, likely in excess of $5000 yearly while greatly reducing my tech headaches AND at the same time helping my online business be more self reliant and digitally sovereign.

“My website is in great hands”

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the smooth site migration! Despite it being a bit more complicated than we anticipated, you made the process easy and stress-free. I truly appreciate your regular updates and how easy it was to communicate with you throughout. I feel confident that my website is in great hands and I’m looking forward to our continued collaboration.

David really knows his stuff!

David really knows his stuff! 🙂  It’s a privilege to be part of Concierge. David’s professionalism, caring and integrity to create an optimal experience for his clients is quite frankly unequalled. He not only goes the extra mile but continuously researches for the tools that will provide the best possible results. I don’t think it’s possible to run a website/business without him! 😊

“He has held his lofty standard”

David Risley is a divine accident for me.  I was trying to reach a friend of mine with the same name and encountered my Guru of Tech.  He had all the answers I needed and more. That was over ten years ago and he has held his lofty standard in all of our transactions and interactions.

Here’s Why Clients Work With Me…

If you become my client, then your site becomes my business. No, I won’t run it for you. That’s your job. But, I will alleviate the headache of dealing with WordPress.

And I’ll be there for the little things that come up during the month where you could use some insight or a helping hand.

Avoid piecemeal software subscriptions and purchases. Get guidance on what to use so there’s no wasted funds. I’ve got access to some of the best software on the market.. and we can use it on your project as needed.

Easy Communication

Clients tell me I’m super easy to talk to and pretty laid back. Oh yeah, and I speak English pretty well since I’m a native Floridian. 😎 You and I will get along well.

Sound Advice

I have well over 20 years of experience, not just with the tech stuff, but also the business and marketing side as well. And I often act in an advisory role for my clients.

Broad Experience

My expertise extends beyond just WordPress basic maintenance. My work can range from helping setup your email…. to building complex marketing automations. I know this business… very well.

“Best decision I’ve made for my business in the past year or more.”

Hands down, deciding to have David become my webmaster/tech guru was the best decision I’ve made for my business in the past year or more. He immediately diagnosed my tech issues, helped me upgrade the site on my current host, and did it quickly and efficiently. The monthly money I pay David is a bargain!

“It’s saved me at least 10 hours a week”

Hey David, I’m grateful for your Concierge service. It’s saved me at least 10 hours a week with not having to deal with everything dealing with the site. I can now focus more of my time and energy on creating content, marketing, and improving my sales process. Thank you so much for everything!

“never found a webmaster who is so capable and timely”

I run a seasonal mango business that lasts about 4 months a year. David has been my “Go To” webmaster for about 3 or 4 years now. I have never found a webmaster who is so capable and timely with the support I need. I subscribed to his Concierge Services for the whole year even though my business is not active for 8 months. I know my website is being watched over and maintained. “My wish is his command.” Thank you, David

How I Curate The Best Tools For Your Website

There’s a lot included with Concierge services, but the entire goal of it is to provide the smoothest possible experience with your WordPress site. I pay more for the best tools. I am regularly curating and acquiring licenses for the best premium plugins to enable you to do what you want with your website – all in a way with respects your digital sovereignty.

It begins with the core set of tools…

Rocket is simply the best web host I’ve ever worked with. Top quality performance and the best support I’ve ever seen. I use Rocket for my clients because I know I can promise top-shelf hosting for my clients.

I don’t use some plugin to make your site back itself up. Instead, I use the best backup solution – BlogVault. All secure in the cloud, ability to do incremental restores, staging sites, and more. My clients never need to worry about backups.

My clients have access to Fathom Analytics to track website stats. Privacy friendly and easy to use. Avoid the overwhelm (and data mining) of Google Analytics with traffic data you can actually use.

Outgoing emails from client sites are run through Postmark, a high-deliverability, highly respected email service. Emails that your site sends will have high deliverability through Postmark.

24/7 malware scanning, website firewall, and automatic detection of security vulnerabilities on WordPress plugins. I use Malcare to ensure my client sites never get hacked.

Automatic image optimization for all images you upload to your site, powered by ShortPixel. Streamlined images for better site performance.

In addition to bringing the best premium services to your website, I also have the goal of you not having to feel nickel-and-dimed with the various plugins and tools you’re going to need to power your platform. So… I have created what I call the Concierge Toolkit. This is a collection of premium, vetted plugins which are available to clients as needed.

The Toolkit represents thousands in licensing costs if you were to acquire them on your own. In order to provide the best possible tools, I have acquired agency licensing and make them available to Concierge clients upon request.

Some agencies offer plugins to clients, but they don’t actually hold licenses. Instead, they download them from GPL sites. While that is legal, I choose not to do that in almost every instance. After all, I wouldn’t be a very good Concierge if I didn’t have access to the support teams of these products. In fact, on several occasions, I’ve worked with the developers of these products to fix bugs and debug issues for clients. I consider good relationships with the teams behind these products to be important…. and it provides an extra layer of security and service for my clients.

The Toolkit is built to be comprehensive for the various needs of clients in all kinds of niches…. and I’m adding to it regularly as I vet and test new solutions. For instance…

  • Need a solid theme? I’ve got the full suite of Kadence tools, providing a solid framework for building any kind of site you want.
  • Need marketing automation and email marketing? Of course you do. 😎 And I have FluentCRM for that.
  • Need to build a powerful membership site? In conjunction with FluentCRM, I use WP Fusion and WooCommerce to build membership sites that are highly capable and easy to manage.
  • Need a community platform? FluentCommunity is performance friendly and is quickly evolving to be the best streamlined online community platform for WordPress. BuddyBoss is just too problematic, in a lot of cases.
  • Need online courses? Many times we can build a simpler setup using Advanced Custom Fields and Kadence, but if we need the full Learndash platform, we have that as well.
  • Need video player? Presto Player will serve all your needs without incurring the costs of Vimeo.
  • Need sales funnels? We’ve got Cartflows for that, with all the upsells and downsells and order bumps you’d want.
  • Need higher performance? In addition to top-shelf hosting, I’ve got tools like FlyingPress and PerfMatters we can use on your site.
  • Need people to book appointments with you? We’ve got FluentBooking.
  • Need an event calendar? I’ve tested them and the big guys are bloated and problematic. I’ll set up Pie Calendar on your site and it will be trouble-free.
  • Need great SEO? I’ll install the full SEOPress suite to your site which can do anything you can imagine when it comes to SEO.
  • Need conversion tracking, advertising tags, etc? We’ll put Conversion Bridge on there, which works with multiple analytics platforms and makes integration a breeze.

And I’ve got tools not even mentioned here. 😎

When you add the licensing costs of the plugins in the Concierge Toolkit, the quality web hosting, the premium backups and security, the privacy-friendly analytics by Fathom Analytics, and automatic image optimization… most clients end up saving money by being enrolled in Concierge.

And that doesn’t even include the time savings. What is your TIME worth? Simply put, if you’re wasting your time with updates, debugging plugins, figuring things out, and fighting your website…. that’s time you’re NOT spending growing your business.

Concierge is put together to remove the hassle.

To make owning and running your website simple again. Without too many separate fees. And with a “web guy” you can go to to ask questions and get help anytime you need. (Yeah, that’d be me. 😉 )

Common Questions

I’m well aware that most people try to DIY their own site maintenance, but that often comes with a ton of hassle. Worse, some people just don’t even know how to maintain their site and…. don’t. And that’s like driving a car without ever changing the oil. Eventually, it is going to blow up on you. 🫣

But, Concierge is also about more than just maintenance. I bring my decades of expertise and toolset to provide the highest quality plugins, the highest quality hosting and more. I don’t “cheap out” on this stuff. I make sure I take care of my clients’ sites like I do my own. In fact, my clients are hosted on the same services I use myself. When you’re on a Concierge plan with me, your site is in good hands and using the very best services and plugins on the market. You don’t have to worry about a ton of license renewals or a plethora of services to make your website work reliably and not break down. I got you.

So, Concierge isn’t just about avoiding a breakdown. It isn’t just about updating plugins. It is about making everything technical about running a WordPress-based business easier and simpler for you. So you can re-dedicate your valuable time to growing your business instead of delving into the tech and researching a bunch of nerdy stuff.

All clients get the same set of core services. This includes weekly maintenance, backups, malware protection, analytics, the premium tools in the Concierge toolkit, hosting, image optimization and transactional email delivery.

On the Core plan, you will get those core services for your website. I will also be there to provide personal support when you need it. For development, debugs and site edits, you will use Anytime Credits on your account and you will get a 15% discount automatically. Core is the base level plan and is best suited to smaller sites, blogs, or light membership sites.

Platinum is the most all-inclusive plan. Platinum clients get the highest discount on credits – 30%. You’ll have a full 3 hours of time to be used on your site without touching your credits. You’ll get ongoing performance optimization and maintenance, legally complaint policy documents powered by Termageddon, the ability to send marketing emails through our high-delivery systems. Also, each quarter, you’ll get a personal site audit by David via private video.

In short, Core includes all the core services, but development work on your site will be subject to the use of credits. On Platinum, it is pretty much hands-off… and you’ll only need credits for more intense projects. And if you do purchase credits, your discount is doubled.

I use Basecamp as our central project management area for Concierge. This means you will have a private project inside of Basecamp where you and I will be communicating about your site. This includes a private message board, todo list, chat, etc. Of course, you will also be able to email me anytime, however Basecamp makes things much more orderly and simple. As you may imagine, it is easy to lose track of things with a lot of emails flinging around. 😇

Yes. You don’t HAVE to host with me and if you’d prefer to keep your own hosting, that’s completely fine. But, I found that it is easier for me to provide the best service if I have a great host. And my goal is to simplify. So, hosting is included on all Concierge plans.

I partner with xCloud and Rocket.net for client hosting. For Core clients, I will choose the best hosting fit for the caliber of site. For Platinum clients, I only use Rocket.Net hosting. They are simply the best and I find membership sites just purr on Rocket.

I do have a few clients who choose to either have their own Rocket account, or use another provider such as Siteground. And that’s fine.

You don’t need to host with us if you don’t want to. Most of our Concierge clients choose to do so for the peace of mind and cost savings, however we do have a few who choose to continue with their own hosting accounts and that’s totally fine. I just ask that you have a quality host! Sorry, no Godaddy, Bluehost or Hostgator sites please! Just seen far too many problems with those kinds of hosts.

Nope. I’d rather continue to earn your business and have a relationship based on mutual benefit. The last thing I’d want is for either you or I to be locked into something that isn’t working. So, there is no long-term contract with this service. You continue your Concierge service if you feel I am delivering the value you want. If not, you can cancel anytime.

In the event you decide to cancel, it’s pretty easy. If I am hosting your site, I will help migrate it to another host of your choice. If you are using any of our agency licensed plugins, I will deactivate the licenses so you will be responsible for support and updates moving forward. I will never break your site by removing anything. And lastly, I will stop maintaining your site for you. But, the site is always your’s to control… and if you ever cancel I will help you move your site anywhere you would like to take it.

On the Platinum plan, you will have a 3 hours of “hands on” time on your site each month. This means I will get in there and take care of little issues for you that come up, debug stuff, work on perfecting systems, building landing pages… whatever you need. If we’re working on projects where more time is needed, Anytime Credits will be discounted at a full 30%.

The included time each month does not stack up or accumulate. Only Anytime Credits persist without expiration until they are used.

If we are going to be working on a project together or doing more extensive work, this is where Anytime Credits come in. Add credits to your account and they can be “spent” on development work and/or Zoom calls – whatever is most useful to you. A credit is worth about an hour of time spent on your site. As a Concierge client, you have an automatic discount on Anytime Credits. And any credits you purchase do not expire. Even if you cancel Concierge, your credits do not expire.

Basecamp is one of the most popular project management and collaboration platforms online – built by 37 Signals. As a client, you will have a private project set up inside of Basecamp where you and I (and my team) can interact about your project. It is super user-friendly and you’re going to find it incredibly easy to use. No cost to you whatsoever. I find that Basecamp means we don’t lose things in our email inboxes… and is far ore friendlier than making you submit support tickets through a stuffy support desk.

Sure can! In fact, most of my clients have these kinds of sites. I know full well some of the in’s and out’s of using WooCommerce, dealing with the “plumbing” of a membership site… and the work involved with managing online courses. I’m happy to help your membership site run smoothly and generate sales for you every day.

In short, transactional emails are triggered by user activity. This could be a password reminder, email notifications from forms, WooCommerce receipts, comment notifications, etc.

Marketing emails are generally promotional in nature and are triggered by you as the site owner hitting the “Send” button and sending to a lot of people at once. Promos and weekly newsletters are typical marketing emails.

Email deliverability is highly important. The last thing any membership site owner needs is people complaining that they aren’t receiving important emails. Sending email directly from your web host usually results in poor deliverability. So, for my Concierge clients, I invest in PostMark to power outgoing emails. PostMark is a service of Active Campaign and is industry known for high-deliverability for transactional emails. I will get you set up and your site fully authenticated with PostMark.

I maintain a bundle of agency licenses to themes and plugins that I use and recommend to clients. Many of them I use myself in my own business. As a Concierge client, these plugins are available to you. They will not be automatically installed. We will review your site and your plan and work out what tools are the right fit.

To view the current Concierge Toolkit, click here.

That’s OK. It is your site and you can use any themes and plugins you want. If you choose to use outside services for some things, that’s fine, too. In some cases, we may not be as fast with certain tools. For instance, if you need site adjustments made to a site built with Divi, it may take me a little longer since I’m not a Divi expert. But, usually, we can figure it out anyway.

Each Concierge plan is designed for one site at a time. The way the resources dedicated to each site work, each site would need it’s own plan. You can “stack” Concierge plans.

Not all sites need to be on the same plan. You can put one site on Platinum and another on Core. And as for the client discount on credits, you will always get the largest discount regardless of which site the credits are used for.

Yes, since it is an entirely different WordPress installation, it is a separate website and you’d need to enroll it in Concierge as well if you want Concierge services for the site.

No. If you are on a Platinum plan, the included time each month is for things as they come up for you. It is meant so that you don’t have to worry about credits unless we’re doing more extensive work together. While Anytime Credits do not expire, your monthly allotted time each month does not carry over month to month.

My goal is to continue to earn your business each and every month so you never decide to cancel. But, I understand things happen. The last thing I will ever do is hold your site hostage. If you decide to cancel, I will assist in migrating your site to hosting of your choice. In terms of plugins, I will never break your site by removing plugins which are being used. I will, though, deactivate licenses and it will be up to you to acquire your own licenses in order to continue to get updates. Your traffic data in Fathom Analytics will be deleted (although you can choose to take it over with your own account if you want). Basically, your site is always your’s and I will never hurt it. But, Concierge services would be discontinued if you decide to cancel and it will be up to you to provide replacement services.

Great question. While I certainly don’t plan to go anywhere anytime soon, I know I have to consider such things when I’m in a position of responsibility for other people’s sites. And as a proponent of digital sovereignty, the last thing I want is for you to be reliant on me exclusively. It is your site, after all.

So, all clients get a kind of “owner’s manual” for their site which specifies all the pertinent access details needed and where everything is. I also provide instructions on how to migrate your website out of my hosting. You don’t even need approval to do it. You would be able to migrate your site to a host of your choice without any involvement from me. And I provide instructions on how to do that. I take care to set things up in such a way where you’re never “stuck” with me.

Yes, of course. You can change your Concierge plan level at any time. You can add additional sites (or remove them) at any time. You can even cancel and part ways whenever you please. You’re in control.

No, not at this time.

No. Concierge is a pay as you go service. If you decide not to continue, simply cancel. We don’t offer refunds on Concierge plans, sorry.

You made it down here to the bottom of the page! Let me just leave you with this…

For years, Blog Marketing Academy was mainly an educational business. I created and launched numerous online courses – often teaching people at the beginning stages of their business. But, I wasn’t really working with students very closely. They just watched my videos. And most of the time, they didn’t really execute what I was teaching. That got old for me. So, I pivoted.

When I launched what is now Concierge, I came to really enjoy working with people more closely. And when there was a barrier that came up, I didn’t just “teach” them what to do…. I could just get in there and do it!

Results were tangible. And I built relationships with my clients. It is much more satisfying. More work in some ways, but I find it fulfilling.

I much prefer working with clients rather than just students.

So, I can’t wait to have you come onboard as a client. I look forward to getting to know you. And I look forward to doing right by you.

Talk to you soon!
