For a custom site design the hourly fee a designer may charge could vary drastically, but if you want to start with existing themes then you wouldn’t need to pay for a new one to be developed just for your site.

For discourse configuration / google workspace setup I could potentially help with that, and/or developing a new theme but not writing computer code for that am not a web developer.

I have my discourse site 90% complete, it’s hosted and I am paying the $100 monthly fee. I need help with adwords, I believe part of the original setup of my Discourse site included adwords / Google setup of some sort. I am looking for help with that as a first priority. Secondly, I would like a well minded Discourse advocate to view my site and determine what else I could be missing. I know the Stripe.com account needs to be added but not yet. Please let me know, the site is www.esquireforum.com. Thanks! Paul.

For the adwords don’t know what support you need with those.

At that site there is a banner that states:

Outgoing email has been disabled for non-staff users.

And looks like the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy pages need to be edited, the starting templates for those you can see also have banners of:

[Forum Admin, please find below an example starting template for a privacy policy that you should customise to your site.]

And:

Change Me

Forum Admin, please find below an example starting template for a privacy policy that you should customise to meet your site’s needs.

With Stripe are you wanting to have that setup to create a paywall for the forum for subscribers only? I haven’t done that but that is something I have been trying to figure out how to set up, also for optional subscription/donation payments not necessarily a paywall to be able to access discourse.

For visual theme design that is what I am most qualified for background is in art history and architecture.

Thank you! I will have to make these changes to the site, appreciate your feedback! What do you mean by Visual Theme Design? If we want a logo for our business, is that within your line of work?
