Website Client Onboarding

Please list at least one email address you will be using for your Wordpress installation. You’ll want at least two email addresses to use for your site-related transactions. One will be for your accounts. The other will be for the domain specific emails, such as [email protected] It is advised that you do not use an email with a domain extension for your other accounts listed below. If the site is moved to a new host or the domain transferred to a new registrar, all emails dependent on it will temporarily become unavailable.

My suggestion would be to get a Gmail account for this site to use for all site-related accounts including your hosting and domain (i.e., [email protected]).

Also, if you want to use an email address with a domain extension for receiving site-related emails, like results from your contact form and/or blog comment notifications, you’ll need a way to retrieve it. I can set up the email to forward to another email address, such as Gmail. There are ways to configure the reply from extension appear as if it is coming from your site instead of Gmail. Please let me know if you need help with this.

List your email addresses below:

You’ll need to associate a Google Account with this site for analytics and Webmaster Tools. Most of the connections will be done after the site is completed, but you can go ahead and get the account, if you don’t already have one. The main thing to set up now is the G+ account. (Be sure to use the double opt-in feature where you also provide a cell phone number. It is for security and you do need it.)

List your Google Account login info below:

You will use your Gmail address to sign up for a Google Analytics account. Please go to http://google.com/analytics and sign up for an account. Once you have done so, please add [email protected] as an admin to your Analytics account by following the directions below:

1) Click on "Admin" in the main navigation
2) Choose "User Management" in the left panel navigation
3) In the "Add Permissions For" text box, type in "[email protected]" (without the quotes)
4) Choose "Read and Analyze" in the drop down box
5) Check the "notify this user by email" box
6) Click the "Add" button
