The Process / How It Works

Step 1

Let’s talk shop.

Start by filling out the contact form below so we can schedule a quick consultation call to dig into exactly what you’re looking for! We’ll ask you a few introductory questions to assess your needs – things like what you like and dislike about your current site and your ideal website goals – to see if your Ready-Made Theme of choice is a good fit. If everything’s a go, we’ll send you a customized proposal with your full development scope, contract, and invoice.
Step 2

Let’s Get To Work.

After our contract is signed and payment is complete, we’ll send you a link to the homework for your specific Ready-Made Theme. You have up to 4 weeks to complete your homework, so the pace to move on to Step 3 is entirely up to you. Your homework will guide you through submitting the exact things needed for us to prepare your customized demo site. Your homework will also include all necessary tech details, such as hosting, domain, and current website login info.
Step 3

Let’s Start Building.

Once your homework has been submitted, you’ll gain access to our calendar to schedule out both your Build Day and your Launch Day. On your scheduled Build Day, we’ll take your completed homework and build a customized demo site on our private server (to make sure your current site goes uninterrupted).
Step 4

Let’s Finalize and Finish.

Once the demo site is finished, we’ll send it over for you to review and approve. This is your chance to click around the customized site as if it were live in an effort to test the functionality on different browsers and provide feedback prior to installation. You’ll have up until your scheduled Launch Day to send over any final notes or questions.
Step 5

Let’s Get You Launched!

This is the day! Launch Day gets your dream site officially up and online. When the install is complete, we’ll email you a video walkthrough of your shiny new theme with directions on how to use it and make changes.
Step 6

Let’s Support You.

Your investment in a website doesn’t stop once it’s live — it requires constant upkeep and love, and we want you to get the most out of your Ready-Made Theme long-term! After installation, you’ll receive a free one-month trial of our Monthly Maintenance Plan.

How long will it take to get my new site launched?
The exact timeline can vary based on the first stage below, but here’s a look at the 4 stages from booking to launch:
- Homework (Due within 4 weeks): At booking we’ll give you a link to the homework for your specific Ready-Made Theme. Once your homework has been fully completed and submitted, you’ll gain access to our calendar to schedule out both your Build Day and Launch Day. The speed of this stage is entirely up to you and how fast you get your homework finished up. Note: If your homework is not completed by your due date, the site will be scheduled to be installed with the sample theme content.
- Build Day (1 day): This is the day we take your submitted homework and build a customized demo site on our private server. Note: you must be available during this time in case any questions arise.
- Feedback (Due prior to launch day): Once the demo site is finished, we’ll send it over to you to review and approve. You’ll have up until the day of your scheduled launch to send over any notes or questions.
- Launch Day (1 day): This is the date your site is officially installed and goes live on your domain!
How can my theme be customized to fit my brand?
In addition to adding all of your own photos and content, each Ready-Made theme is pre-formatted with the option for:
- Either a text logo (as shown on the demo sites) or an image logo. The text logo is a great, easy option if you’re a new business and don’t have your branding established yet.
- A custom color palette. During the homework phase (step 2 in the process above!) you’ll have the ability to choose custom colors that you’d like applied to the theme.
Will my site be SEO ready?

While we don’t claim to be SEO experts, we do our best to set your site up for success by installing a premium SEO plugin and providing video training on how to use it on your site. If you want to dig in deeper, we have SEO specialists we trust and have on hand if you’d like a referral!
What is your return policy for the Ready-Made themes?

Due to the nature of the work, all Ready-Made Theme sales are non-refundable.

How much will my Ready-Made theme cost?

Ready-Made themes are available at the flat rate price of $1500.

Every detail of your site, including the additional cost of extra content entry or functionality add-ons, will be thoroughly discussed in our initial phone consultation and then laid out very clearly in our proposal. We look for complete agreement and understanding on both ends so they are no surprises, hiccups or misunderstandings along the way.

*Payment plan available upon request.
Is content entry included?
Yes! With the purchase of a Ready-Made Theme you will receive included content entry of:
- Setup/entry of one of each page template included in theme
- Up to to 8 portfolio/gallery items
- Content transfer of up to 100 blog posts
*Additional page setup, blog post transfer, additional portfolio setup can happily be accommodated at our hourly support rate, and should be discussed in the initial consultation call.

Keep in mind that our themes are built to be completely user-friendly and intuitive without you needing any coding experience whatsoever. You’ll be given a detailed, personalized training video walking you through your theme and showing you exactly how to make content changes and add additional pages/items to your site.
What if I want add-ons or design changes made to a theme?

Design changes and theme functionality add-ons may be accommodated depending on the request for an additional charge, and should be discussed in the initial consultation call.

Note: If heavy design changes are needed, your project may be a better fit for a Custom Theme.
Are these Ready-Made themes E-commerce ready?

Unfortunately, none of the current themes are setup for e-commerce. In the future we may launch themes that include styling and setup for WooCommerce, but it’s not something we offer on our Ready-Made Themes at this time. If e-commerce is something you need, your site may be a better fit for one of our Custom Themes.
What is a WordPress host and why do I need one?

WordPress requires a third-party host to store your files, kind of like leasing space on the internet. Choosing the right host is crucial to the speed, security, and overall success of your website.

How much does a WordPress host cost?
Small sites are usually $10-$20/month. Large sites can be $20+.

Can you recommend a good WordPress host?
Absolutely. SiteGround is our #1, but we’d also highly-recommend Bluehost and WPEngine. All three have incredible customer service, daily site backups and outstanding WP hosting knowledge and capabilities. Grab direct links to each of these options over on our Industry Index.
What kind of ongoing support is available for my site?

Made to Thrive offers full support and maintenance for any theme we create! The best way to ensure your splashy new site is backed up, consistently refreshed, and malware-free is to enroll in our Monthly Maintenance Plan.
