Resisting the urge to take a quick look-see at their dreadnoughts :/

Ooh, slotted headstock, nice!

1. Fixing it yourself might cause you more headaches. I'd love to put you on my course but I don't want you to hate me ? First let's fix the issue.

2. Hiring someone more experienced to fix the issues is likely wise.

3. You're still welcome on my course when it launches but I really think that, if you join, you should build a new site. You will learn a ton and you won't have any past bugs on your sites stopping you from making progress.

Yeah, I've no issue finding someone to manage the sites for me, but finding the right someone is also a challenge. I had meetings with a couple of companies and free lancers, and ended up with someone who I think is not a good fit.

I'll pm you Norio, I'll still do the course though, I'm sure it'll be very helpful. I'll build a dummy site for the practice. Thanks for the response and advice ?

Time as we all know is such a scarce resource. I'm pretty much fed up with googling and researching and watching vids on how to develop or maintain a functioning website, and a lot of the time, it's pretty much a mess of conflicting information.
Having said that, we have two word press sites that at the time, seemed to be the way to go. From what I understood back then, template sites at one stage were a bad idea (somehow it messed with crawlers) but the newer template sites like Wordpress did not hamper SEO. How much any of that is true, I don't know. Anyway, I hired someone to set up the sites, and do basic maintenance, and be available to sort out the odd problem. Results are inconsistent. The problem is I know next to nothing about any of this, I'm supposed to spend some time understanding Wordpress, but ja, my time is taken up by other business priorities.
Even now, there is some sort of glitch on the one site and we can't update anything (and waiting for it to be sorted between the person I pay to maintain it, and the hosting company), so in general, I find it all a huge pain.

So yes, if I can understand the fundamental basics of what is what, and do problem solving, and just keep the sites running smoothly, I'll be happy.
The one site seems to be fine, and is with another hosting company to the one that is giving issues, I'm not sure if that is the cause of the problems, but I'm looking into moving it sometime anyway.

Norio, these are the two sites:
ilsemoore.com (this is the one that is generally fine)

and

gingeralephotography.com (this one makes me want to pull my hair out)

So yes, I'll be keen to learn whatever you have to offer in this regard ?
