Futures Trading Secrets – Paid membership site with protected content, e-Commerce and email marketing
Our development work on this website includes redesign of some of the pages, and reworking the configuration and integration of plugins with 1ShoppingCart (an e-Commerce platform) and WishList Member (a paid membership plugin for WordPress which also integrates with 1ShoppingCart). The protection of member content by membership level was upgraded to also include dynamic menus which hide/show based on membership level. Landing pages for each member level were configured in order to present the appropriate content to different levels when members log in.
Some of the key features of this website include:
-
Integration with 1ShoppingCart for e-Commerce and email marketing (subscription auto-responders and list building)
-
Paid Membership with WishList member
-
Protected Content for Class Material and Video
-
Dynamic Menus based on membership level
-
Integration with LeadPages
The WordPress Wordfence plugin was installed and configured to improve the integrity and security of the website. The Wordfence Firewall stops websites from getting hacked, and alerts when suspicious activity is detected on the site. All websites developed and maintained by Schaper Consulting use this excellent and “can’t do without” plugin!
We are also beginning Search Engine Optimization (SEO) with Yoast, and website analytics with Google Analytics and Google Search Console. These services are provided on an ongoing basis.
Performance improvements are also being done on this website to improve its speed for a better visitor experience. Performance is measured with Google PageSpeed Insights and Pingdom. In addition to removing unused plugins and pages, images have been optimized for faster load, and plugins which optimize the database and caching have been implemented. Some of the plugins utilized (which no website should be without) are
- W3 Total Cache – This plugin provides web performance optimization using caching – caching of posts and pages to memory or disk, caching of feeds, search result pages, database objects and minified CSS and Javascript files.
- WP-optimize – This plugin optimizes the WordPress database
