Farm & Rural Small Business Online

About Worstell Design LLC

Worstell Design LLC was established in order to help people in rural communities to improve their quality of life. It's always been Dr. Robert Worstell's interest in helping local Missouri farmers and rural residents get an online presence so that they can can market themselves and their produce directly. More like the way he was raised. He figures that farmers have to know enough without learning how to do there own websites as well.

Your Online Presence.
Dr. Worstell has been designing and publishing websites online since 1997. While the tools and technology has changed over the years, now is the best time ever to get online with your own farm, business or personal website.

It's important that you can be found for what you do. If you want the best prices for your beef and other produce, it's turning out that every farm needs to market it directly instead of just taking what the sales barns and commodity markets offer. Instead of having to spend extra for having advertising done, instead of taking time out to personally attend countless "networking" functions, you can instead just put your best foot forward online. Once they hear about you, they want to look you up online to find out more. So you might as well be there for them to find.

All your other contact data can be there, as well as prices, testimonials by clients and buyers you've helped. As well, all your farm and produce data can be there - no matter what you grow, or produce, or build, or repair, or any other service you provide.

An online presence can tell them everything - more than you would have to do yourself with hours on the phone, or thousands of dollars spent on advertizing.

We will work with you on an afforable one-time budget to build your website - something that will last you years (and doesn't need oil, grease, feed, water, or rain to keep working all year 'round.)

Web Hosting
You want security and peace of mind, knowing that your data is always secure and always can be found. We host our clients' sites on the most secure and reliable servers we can find. Relying on years' of research into hosting companies, we've settled with the best available and due to volume structuring, are able to share this cost with you. Both monthly and yearly plans are available.

Hosting - Wordpress and otherwise
It's changed a lot in how to get your farm or business online. It used to be you'd have to pay someone a substantial amount to get your site up and running, all in addition to monthly hosting. But a lot of people are setting up web logs or "blogs" to do this, making it easier to update content on their own.

Wordpress has become a platform of choice in both for people putting their first website up. With the largest international support of any platform, it has become the most versatile and simple way to get a site up and running in literally minutes.

We offer pre-built Wordpress installation, so you can simply log in and start. Nothing to figure out - we've already installed everything you have to have to get started. We do all the set-up work. You just add your text and images.  Set up is simple, since we have been testing and designing for years and know exactly the easiest and most reliable way to set up your own Wordpress site.

All you have to do is log in and start telling your story.

We'll set up the initial look and feel you want, and then turn it over to you to dive right in and make it everyting you want it to be.

Contact us today about getting your pre-built Wordpress hosting.

Note: We no longer recommend Wordpress for business applications. If you have someone on your staff to enter information, we can give you access to your own backend and help you learn how to update your own pages. Otherwise, minor changes and updates to your website is covered in our monthly fees for several hours each month. Larger changes which will take more than 3 hours - or major upgrades - will require an estimate and your approval before we begin. If you do want Wordpress for your business site, we only offer backup restoration on a monthly basis.

Internet coaching and tutoring
Don't know what to do or how to get started? While you'll see above links that we are adding to our library of how-to guides and articles, we also offer books and instruction sheets we've written and published just to make it easier for you. Learn before you go, or as you get things up and running.

Additionally, personal lessons and tutoring are available in your own home to ensure you understand exactly what you are doing on the computer and on your website. Contact us for fees and schedules.

Contact us today if you'd like personal coaching or tutoring and live within 25 miles of Mexico, Mo.

Coming soon...
Also in the works are online training you can take whether you own one of our design/hosting packages or not. And once you pay for a course, you will be able to move at your own pace and review the lessons over and over. Each course will also have email support so you can get your questions answered as you go - this also helps us learn what people need most, so we can continue to improve your experience and learn the most you can for the time you spend. (Slated for later this year.)
