Here at PeepSo we always strive to provide the best service and experience to our users, and I am happy to announce this significant improvement to the spectrum of our services. When you purchase any PeepSo bundle, you will now be able to select the Installation & Configuration Service.
What is Installation & Configuration Service?
One of the most commonly asked questions we get from our new customers is can their site look exactly as our demo site or similar to it. The short answer is: YES, of course it can. Our entire demo site is built with our products. It is only natural that you can have exactly the same design and features as well when you buy them.
However, it’s a simple task but it can take some time to get it done just the way you want it to. Gecko Theme and the vast variety of PeepSo features allow for practically unlimited design variations, so many users get held back in their possibilities during the initial installation. We’re here to help you out and give you a head start.
This is roughly what you get when you install WordPress:
Understandably, it looks nothing like our fancy demo site. No matter how many addons or themes you add, the layout wonโt change unless specific configuration switches are touched. Many people with less experience can face a daunting challenge here, and more experienced users are pressed with tedious additional work. And that is where our Installation & Configuration Service (I&CS) steps in. In less than 24 hours, we can turn the bland site shown above into an exciting community page youโll be proud of.
How Does It Work?
It is as simple as purchasing I&CS. Once you have it, you will receive a new email with the configuration form. In this form, youโll be asked to provide the site logo, color scheme and a few more useful options like widget placement in sidebars, or if you wish us to install demo content as well.
As soon as you send us the form with all valid data, we get to work at your site and make the magic happen in (less than) 24 hours, while you are able to dedicate your time to yourself and other means of creativity. Focus on what’s important and the next steps. We recommend reading our eBook on Successful communities – it’s included in every bundle purchase and will give you valuable insight into building Your Community.
Are There Any Limitations?
There are a few limitations imposed on the Service, and they are taking into account some specific preferences and additions which can be implemented only after the initial installation. These are unique choices for every user and cannot be assumed beforehand.
Most notably, if you opt for demo content installation, you need to be aware that demo content is by its nature generic, and it wonโt necessarily follow your site niche. This demo content includes but is not limited to:
- Users with avatars
- Posts with comments, likes and reactions
- Video posts
- Groups and posts
Also, we are not at liberty to install any third-party plugins and hence canโt configure the related PeepSo integrations for them. For example, PeepSo can be integrated with WooCommerce – one of the most popular e-store plugins – but in order to set it up properly, WooCommerce needs to be configured by the user, and that is something we cannot do.
Finally – and most importantly – we offer two separate services for installation and configuration of PeepSo, depending on whether your site is blank or already established.
Installation & Configuration Service for Blank Websites
I&CS for Blank Websites can only be performed on a clean WordPress site, because it is a part of the groundwork where you will build and develop your vision. You need to make sure that you donโt have any existing content on the website, or third-party plugins already installed.
Installation & Configuration Service for Established Websites
I&CS for Established Websites is performed on your existing WordPress setup, implementing PeepSo according to your chosen specifics. Your existing site won’t be disrupted by upgrading to PeepSo. You can also choose to either change to a new theme or keep your current one.
