# WordPress Drone Photography & Videography Website — Mechanicsville Aerial - Fully Hosted and Ready to Launch -- 2

PROJECT: WordPress Drone Photography Website — Mechanicsville Aerial PROJECT OVERVIEW I need a professional, fully functional WordPress website for Mechanicsville Aerial, my drone photography and videography business located in Mechanicsville, Virginia. I own MECHANICSVILLEAERIAL.COM and its associated email domain. The website must be fully built, hosted, tested, and live on my domain before final delivery so I can launch immediately. The website will showcase my aerial photography and video work and generate customer inquiries and quote requests. Online payments are not required initially, but the website must support adding payment functionality in the future. I have already paid for a confidentiality agreement. The developer must honor its terms and protect my business information, media, and project materials. 1. WEBSITE DESIGN Create a modern, professional, mobile-friendly website that works well on computers, tablets, and smartphones. Include: - Home page - Photography gallery - Video gallery - Services page - Request a Quote / Check Availability page - About page - Contact page - Privacy policy and other necessary standard pages The design should emphasize attractive aerial imagery, simple navigation, fast loading, and clear calls to action. 2. PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO The website must accommodate at least 200 photographs, with original files potentially 48 MB each, and at least 75 video clips approximately eight seconds long. Provide sufficient storage, bandwidth, backups, and efficient media delivery. Use optimized images, thumbnails, and compressed video previews to maintain performance while preserving my original high-resolution files. The site must support adding more media over time. Explain storage limits, video hosting arrangements, bandwidth limitations, and any additional charges. I must retain control of my original media and any third-party hosting accounts. 3. EASY ADMINISTRATION I must be able to manage the website without programming knowledge. Provide a simple WordPress administration interface that allows me to: - Upload, publish, replace, and delete photographs and videos. - Organize galleries into categories. - Edit page content, services, and contact information. - Manage quote requests and customer inquiries. - View and manage email subscribers. Provide written instructions or a short tutorial showing me how to perform these tasks. 4. QUOTE REQUESTS AND CUSTOMER COMMUNICATION Visitors must be able to inquire about drone photography and videography services and request pricing or availability. The form should collect name, email, optional phone number, requested service, project location, preferred date, and project details. When a request is submitted: - I receive an email notification at my designated business email. - The customer receives an automatic acknowledgment. - The inquiry is saved securely in WordPress. - I can review and track inquiries through the administration area. - I can respond to customers through the website's administration interface using integrated email functionality. - I can review previous inquiries and responses. Include spam protection and test all functions before launch. 5. EMAIL COLLECTION AND MARKETING Include an optional newsletter signup form to collect email addresses from prospective customers and existing customers who want business updates. Provide subscriber management, exportable email lists, appropriate consent language, and unsubscribe functionality. Quote requests must not automatically enroll customers in marketing emails without appropriate consent. Identify any additional email marketing service fees. 6. BUSINESS EMAIL AND DOMAIN Configure the website to work with my existing MECHANICSVILLEAERIAL.COM domain and professional email. Integrate my current email provider where possible, or recommend an appropriate business email service. Configure and test email delivery, including SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records where applicable. Test inquiry notifications, customer acknowledgments, and replies. My domain and existing email accounts must remain under my control. Do not transfer, cancel, or disrupt existing services without my approval. 7. SEO AND SOCIAL MEDIA Implement sound technical, on-page, and local SEO practices to help attract customers in Mechanicsville, Richmond, Hanover County, and surrounding Virginia communities. Include: - Search-friendly page titles, descriptions, headings, and URLs. - XML sitemap and descriptive image alt text. - Mobile optimization and good page performance. - Appropriate local business structured data. - Google Search Console and analytics integration where available. - Social media sharing links and attractive previews. - Clear quote-request calls to action. Use relevant terms naturally, including drone photography, aerial photography, drone videography, real estate aerial photography, and Mechanicsville, Virginia. Optimize the website for search visibility and social sharing. No guaranteed search rankings or social media exposure are expected. 8. FUTURE ONLINE PAYMENTS Online payments are not required at launch. However, use a maintainable WordPress architecture that will allow a secure payment gateway and future service deposits or payments to be added without rebuilding the website. Do not activate paid payment services without my approval. 9. HOSTING, SECURITY, AND LAUNCH This is a turnkey project. I require a fully functional, hosted website live on MECHANICSVILLEAERIAL.COM before final acceptance, not merely website files or a design. The developer must: - Configure suitable WordPress hosting, domain connection, and SSL/HTTPS. - Install and configure WordPress, the theme, and necessary plugins. - Implement appropriate security and automated backups. - Configure email and inquiry notifications. - Test the website on desktop and mobile devices. - Test galleries, video playback, forms, and email communication. - Deliver a complete website backup and restoration instructions. - Provid
