Question about software, membership app, blog designers

[markbm]

I've been watching your recent videos related to the blog mastermind course, and really like the design and features on the blogmastermind.com site... Can you tell me if it was custom desinged based on wordpress, as well? Or is it a custom design php/mysql, etc...

It just looks like it has MUCH more features and functionalities than I've seen in a wordpress install...

Also, can I ask which membership site package you run the site on? Amember pro? other?

Also, sorry for all the questions, do you have a recommendation on a good blog designer? developer? I would like many of the features of your cPanel®

Thanks very much,

Mark

UniqueBlogDesigns.com is a good design firm, if you have the money...

BlogMastermind.com - the membership site - is just a wordpress blog with a custom theme.

However I do run email autoresponders and a shopping cart which blog into the pages I run on BlogMastermind.com.

Regarding your other questions about membership sites - My program Membership Site Mastermind will answer in more depth, however as a brief reply, I prefer to keep things simple and use WordPress with password protection whenever possible.

My blog designer is not currently taking on projects. I like unique blog designs, the blog studio and solostream - they all do good work but are not cheap.

Thank you both for the feedback, however one followup... On the "not cheap" type comments, what is a ballpark we'd be talking for a basic blog design.. > $3k, >$5k??

Any idea on what these 3 companies typically run as far as turnaround time?

Thanks again..

If you can budget 2K plus you can get good work. However if you have a base template you just want spruced up $500 can make a blog look pretty good.
