WordPress Focus and a Redefining

I’m beginning a large project, based on my years of work in designing websites and then transforming my company into a WordPress web design self-sustaining business. If you know me, then you know that in the winter I teach and coach snowboarding, and I live a great lifestyle. Many know me in the capacity of my winter activities: riding every day, training snowboard instructors, working for Vail Resorts at Breckenridge Ski Resort, and examining aspiring instructors towards their certifications. For 23 years I’ve been on that path.

As a winter seasonal employee, I basically get fired every spring, and re-hired in the fall. I can’t collect unemployment, or I’d just take a 6-month vacation (seasonal worker laws prevent this), and so I have a need, like many in my industry, to get a summer job. For lots of years I worked for a sign shop (I’m an artist), but in the mid-nineties a friend and I saw the burgeoning internet and started making website for local businesses. We figured out how to resell hosting for the websites, design and create them, and bring in a positive and recurring income from it.

Fast forward to today, and I have a small business, lots of paying clients, and a great working-for-myself lifestyle in the summer. I’m keeping up with the latest technology, updating and creating modern websites from scratch, and hosting clients’ websites.

I wrote a book (as yet unpublished), more than a year ago, about how to create your own website business, following all the lessons I’ve learned over the years, and now it’s time to expand my reach, publish the book, create a following, and most importantly, free up my time so I can focus on some life goals outside of business.

I hope you can join me on this journey, either as a spectator, or a participant. I’m creating a course on Udemy.com, finishing my book, building a community of WordPress Developers and business owners, and having fun along the way. This is the first post of that journey.

Complete MySnowPro.com re-design

msp-website1I just completed stage 1 of the MySnowPro.com redesign, that’s been pending for quite a while now. I’ve used tools from WPMU.org to come up with a multi-user system, that gives a free website for instructors, and then adds lots of valuable functions and other features for a small fee.

My personal MSP website is at: MySnowPro.com/greggdavis.

This change has been a long time in coming. It seems like the tools I’m able to use have just come along in the last year, to allow me to create such a robust system, without having to code or program the website as a custom project. I was able to line up the functions and system I want to offer, without doing any programming at all.

msp-website2MySnowPro.com is a ski and snowboard instructor directory, and also provides a way for instructors to communicate with their students in a modern and meaningful way. Instructors can post pictures, blog about their daily teaching adventures, and through this system, stay in touch with clients as well as find new ones. It benefits instructors and students in this way, as well as providing help and guidance for those new to snowsports or new to a particular area. Vacationers can get exclusive and professional insight into where to go, lodging and rental information, discounts and recommendation for food and restaurants, and advice on finding a professional instructor.

The new system adds Facebook and social network connections, easy photo uploading and display, a website at your own private domain name, a variety of Themes to choose form for changing your site’s look and feel, among other possibilities. I’m proud of the new design and functionality, and you’ll see the offerings and features expand even more over the next few weeks, as I add other features to the system.

Check it out at MySnowPro.com, sign up for a free website of your own, or look around at our directory of instructors around the world (eventually).
