Sending emails from your site (WP Mail SMTP) 

• Whether you’re using a plugin like Amelia or have a simple contact form on your site, you need to set up SMTP in some capacity. WordPress uses PHP to send emails by default, which are often sent straight to spam by major email providers, so this isn’t a reliable method. 
• The best method we found was to use the plugin “WP Mail SMTP” which gives you a variety of options to set this up. “Google/Gmail” was a great option for us, as we weren’t going to be sending out very many emails. Google Cloud services gives you enough free credit to easily facilitate a small volume of emails per month, so this was virtually free. 
• Once you set up this plugin, you’ll likely have to change some settings in each plugin that will be sending emails.

How We Used ChatGPT: 

• Slogans or “filler text” like the About Us blurb in the footer 

• • This was edited to sound more personable, but was a launching point for describing certain information in a more refined way 

• Refine the order of sections on the home page 

• • This was coupled with different user feedback to see when information should be presented for the most cohesive user experience 
  • Ex. “Should ‘Book Now’ come before ‘Get a Quote’” 

• Standardizing emails to customers 

• • After a customer fills out the booking, we used ChatGPT to help write a creative and personalized confirmation email
