EffortlessPress is a startup social enterprise and platform designed to support the thousands of women who have decided not to return to work post-pandemic and are reskilling as independent website designers.

The platform will provide new, solo website designers access to the same tools & tech as the big agencies, teach them design and tech skills allowing them to grow their businesses, increase their income, and complete projects faster with less stress.

WordPress powers the majority of the internet for a reason. It's robust and infinitely customizable. 

Maybe you've avoided WordPress because of the learning curve or the complexity of setting everything up, selecting themes & plugins, managing updates, etc.

At EffortlessPress, we will handle all of that so you can focus on design. 

Our design skills training will get you up and running fast. So you can take advantage of all of the best WordPress features, without the heavy lifting.

EffortlessPress has far too many goodies to list here. You can learn more about what's included and what's on the horizon at the link below.

What's in the EffortlessPress stack?

With EffortlessPress, you can create a predictable income for your business by offering hosting and maintenance plans to all of your design clients. The best part is that you don't have to do any of the actual hosting and maintenance. We'll handle all of those details.

All you need to do is create a subscription in your billing software (Stripe, GoCardless, Dubsado, Bonsai, whatever you prefer).  

We also suggest that you give clients a specific email address to send any support requests. You can handle content updates and how-to questions, while forwarding technology troubleshooting questions to our support desk.

It's all in the box. EffortlessPress is a managed, WordPress hosting solution that also happens to include one-click deployments, $3000+ of premium plugins, and more.

Most web hosts use virtual servers. They’re slow, resource intensive, barely scalable, and have so many layers it is easy for something to go wrong. If anything goes wrong in just one of those tech layers your website goes down.

With EffortlessPress, every WordPress site is housed in its own isolated Docker container, which has all of the software resources required to run WordPress at lightning speeds (Nginx, PHP, MySQL Redis).

Absolutely! That's how many solo web designers run their businesses. When you're starting out, EffortlessPress will skyrocket you past those first few years of struggle trying to figure everything out from scratch.

The cost savings actually grow exponentially when you consider the time and stress you'll save by having us do the heavy lifting. (Check out the calculator here.)

There may become a point in your business where it makes more financial sense for you to do this yourself. It also makes more financial sense to not hire a housekeeper or to always cook at home. You may realize that saving time & stress is often much more impactful than saving money.

You do. Just like you would with any other managed, WordPress hosting solution.

Your client sites have their own content and your their own domains. You can easily migrate any or all of the sites on your account. That’s the beauty of owning your data and open source!

Your Site Dashboard will give you access to manage all of the sites on your account. You'll also have detailed insights in the security, performance and activity of all the sites hosted on your account.  Deploy new sites for your clients with just a few clicks from your dashboard.

Learning all of this the hard way so you don't have to. <3
