frees off time for me to focusI am so pleased with the workmanship and the manner of David that I have signed up for his Concierge Platinum. David looking after the management of my site frees off time for me to focus on the implementation of strategy. I expect that David and I will have a few Strategy Calls before too long. Very pleased that I found him.

I can’t sign up to David’s Concierge service fast enough!Going into this meet I was quietly optimistic we’re a good fit and quietly ready to defend my ‘vision’ as it goes against the online norm. David listened. He didn’t bat an eye. He asked exactly the right questions for quick smart clarity and knew crazy quick his biggest challenge was getting what’s in my head out of my head so we can bring my vision to life. I’m super excited to see the magic we make and honestly, I can’t sign up to David’s Concierge service fast enough! It’s an IMMENSE relief to start off on the right foot and a blessing to focus on what I do best while my ‘web guy,’ his name is David😜, worries about the things I KNOW I’d pull my hair out over.Mandy Cameron

David is the best!David is the best! He not only understands the technical work, but is happy to “zoom out” and look at the bigger picture for your business. I am thrilled as I work with him to revamp and refresh my online website – highly recommend him over “figure it out yourself”. Hire him-you’ll be glad you did.

David is the best of everything – professional, integrity, trade knowledge, execution, and customer service. It’s no wonder he’s such a success.Mike Howell

patient and considerateI met with David online earlier this week to implement a few enhancements that will optimize the user experience. During our call, David was engaged and truly cared about delivering the results I was hoping for. He fixed a couple of things and ran into a few that had to be looked into. He got back to me with an answer and solution the very next day. I find David to be patient and considerate (I’m not a tekkie), and particularly like that he is good-natured with us neophytes!Rob Joseph

He’s been my rockDavid 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?!

A joy to work withThank you for getting my site up and running so fast. What a relief to have that done. As a non-tech person, I can’t tell you what it means to know I have someone to call on who knows what to do, and does it so well. You are a joy to work with. Yesterday’s session with you pointed me in the right direction. So much so that I woke in the wee hours of the morning, and wrote out three pages of ideas!Virginia Avery

As someone running an online life insurance agency, I never expected to need website-building skills—but David has made the process seamless. His quick responses and clear guidance have been invaluable.

Competent, trustworthy and fastI can’t speak highly enough of David. If you run a blog or membership website and you want someone that is knowledgeable, honest, efficient, trustworthy and just a genuinely nice and fun person to work with then look no further, you’ve found your man. He knows his stuff and if he doesn’t he will tell you. Honestly, I’ve rarely worked with someone as competent, trustworthy and fast.

Call me a customer forever.In an online world where service always seems forever to wait for as well as a complete solution, that does not describe David’s work. I was experiencing a Kadence issue that David fixed nearly as fast as it took me to explain it. He followed with a video and two very kind emails. David obviously cares about customer excellence. Customer success is what he wants. I’ve enjoyed David’s wit, wisdom, and expertise he provides in his weekly newsletter. His video advice on membership solutions and beyond is outstanding. Yet, this was my first time experiencing him as a customer. Call me a customer forever and one who will recommend him without hesitation.Mark Gandy

a reliable contact for difficult WordPress questionsDavid helped me to significantly improve the speed and performance of my membership site. He also helped me with technical improvements to my website. Although I’m not a WordPress beginner and consider myself an experienced WordPress user, I reached my limits here. It’s good to know that I have someone on hand that I can ask when I get stuck. All my questions were answered quickly and with expertise, and I found David to be a reliable contact for difficult WordPress questions. I highly recommend David.

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 Fluent CRM 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.From my earliest days using your One Page Business Plan until now, I have been thankful to have found you and your “no bull”, tell it like it is, straight forward online business strategy that really works. If that were not enough, now you have made available your incredible tech skills to help me make my online business more profitable.

What I appreciate most is his practical and down-to-earth approach. David doesn’t just repeat what everyone else is saying—he shares thoughtful insights and real-world advice drawn from experience. Every issue feels like it’s written by someone who’s been in the trenches of online business and truly understands what it’s like to build and run a WordPress-based business. Whether he’s covering content strategy, site optimization, or smart ways to think about your audience, I always come away with something useful and actionable.

He is really easy to work withAfter consolidating four blogs into one, I realized that my blog was just ugly. He looked at my blog and made some recommendations and installed a theme that is easy to use and customize. Then he gave me suggestions for how I can make a few more tweaks to ensure that my site loads well, stays secure, and presents my work in the way that I want it to look. David stayed with me until I was sure I could use the blog and that I was satisfied with it. He is really easy to work with, and his explanation videos really made it easy to see what he was saying I could improve on. If you need web services, you need David Risley!Nancy Jones

grateful for his WP knowledge and kindness-based approach to life.I first met David about ten years ago. He stood out to me because I always found him to be an extremely honest, nice guy who really knows wordpress and the blogging for business models. I trust him 100% on these subjects. Every time we have worked together it has been helpful. He always responds quickly and we solve whatever needs solving. I personally wouldn’t even try to have a wordpress based business without his help. I have gotten to know him pretty well during all this time and continue to be grateful for his WP knowledge and kindness-based approach to life. I do not hesitate to recommend David fully and I simply would not do that with a lot of internet marketers because I think they are a tad sleazy.

Just what I neededI’ve employed or contracted with over 50 tech consultants, programmers, and web developers since my first Internet marketing services company in 1995. Unfortunately, too many of my experiences have not been positive! David Risley is the exception! His Concierge offering was just what I needed to escape from website setup hell, but our one-on-one implementation sessions have been the icing on the cake. David listens…yes, he listens to my out-of-the-box customization requests and delivers real-time implementation. 5 stars out of 5 on all counts. Thanks, David.

When I got anxious, David made it easy.I have built four websites. All were crap. When I decided to build a new website to move my online course content onto, I knew I needed help. But I was nervous. I have hired techies in the past and it just never went well. The problem is, I’m not a techie. It’s not my area of expertise. I don’t speak the lingo. Getting a site built that was functional, visually pleasing and within my capabilities to manage seemed like a big ask. I have been a member of the Blog Marketing Academy and I always appreciated David Risley’s straight-goods approach to coaching. So, I decided to reach out and seek his advice. How do you go about finding trustworthy, affordable technical support? Imagine my surprise and gratitude when David offered to help. In the end, I got just what I wanted – a conversion-based, mobile responsive website that I can manage on my own. I cannot stress what a huge endeavor this has been for me. Tech stuff scares the beejeesus out of me! When I got anxious, David made it easy. When I got stuck, David coached me through it. David Risley made the impossible possible. As a result, I now have a website I can be proud of. I would highly recommend David Risley to anyone who wants to get free of the fear and frustration that comes with being a non-techie in the online world of business. If you’re struggling to find technical support, look no further. David Risley is a clear, credible and responsive coach. He’s also a very nice guy! I plan to continue to call upon his expertise in helping me to build my online business.

You strike a rare balanceI really enjoyed your June 28th video and article on security plugins. You are such an excellent communicator! I appreciate your attention to detail in explaining the ins and outs of protecting a website. Watching the video and reading the article reminded me again of why I trust you to work on my sites. Your honest, intelligent, and you have your client’s best interest at heart. Additionally, you know how to explain things clearly and practically. You are able to strike a rare balance between handling all the geeky technical stuff and explaining issues in a way that empowers your clients to do better.

Incredibly timely, highly responsiveAfter several frustrating hours of trying to move my primary WordPress navigation to where I wanted it, I gave up reached out David to see ask if he offered any direct assistance for such things. Fortunately, he was able to work me into his schedule. In a matter of minutes he not only fixed the navigation issue, but also identified a number of additional issues and fixed those, too. David was incredibly timely, highly responsive, and went out of his way to make sure that my membership site was configured for an optimal user experience.

jumping from a D to an A with a 93% in GTmetrixI recently had the pleasure of using David Risley’s WP Speed Fix service for my website, www.TransformadosEnCristo.com and I must say, the experience has been nothing short of exceptional.

David’s strategy is both systematic and customized, showing his deep dedication to not only meeting but surpassing client expectations.

Every issue feels like a conversationEvery issue feels like a conversation with someone who’s been in the trenches — David doesn’t just share what’s working, he’s transparent about what isn’t, and what to avoid. I really appreciate the time and effort he puts into staying current, testing new ideas, and translating his experience into practical takeaways. This newsletter is one I genuinely look forward to each week. Even when I can’t read it right away, I hit the snooze button so it pops back up later — because I know there’s something in there worth saving. In fact, I’ve kept several past editions to revisit when I have time to implement the tips and strategies he shares. To sum it up: David’s newsletter isn’t just another marketing email; it’s an ongoing masterclass from someone who’s lived it, learned it, and still shows up to help others grow.
