You should definitely make a WordPress Theme and Plugin Developer course on Udemy. You would be a great instructor. You can also make a quick course on how to create extensions from Elementor using Javascript and PHP. I know you have a video but it would be great to go in-depth with that.

I appreciate the vote of confidence! I’ll see how this free course goes first and then consider a paid course

Hi, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the community! It really does help us in the earlier stages find our grounding with more confidence. I feel that I relate to you in the sense that I would like to do this in my after hours rather than make it my full time job (for now). May I ask how you handle your clients with regards to being available part time? How do you manage your clients websites during your 9 - 5 work hours? I'm worried that the sites might go down during those hours and suddenly because I'm focused on my day-job that I won't be able to make my clients happy. I would appreciate some enlightenment on your approach to transparency in your availability with your clients. Thank you!

Hi buddy, I really appreciate way you explain things. I struggle to find good wordpress course where I could make a theme from scratch like developers do in 2020. I'm from node environment so I really miss package manager and basically that approach seems kinda cleaner. Do you know any course this kind? I believe you could do it well! Don't hesitate to make your own course! You're brilliant ;)

So I'm a bit confused on how to get started. Do you have to pay for the hosting and domain yourself or does the customer pay for it

@elizabethsullivan1894 Жыл бұрын

I think there are two different answers. First of all, when developing a theme, you want to work on a local environment--I like XAMPP for this myself. That way there's no hosting or domain cost while you're working on getting a site ready. In general, you could include the cost of the hosting and domain in your fee or have the customer purchase them directly. If you include the hosting cost in your fee, make sure to include something about how frequently it's due as hosting is a subscription service and costs money every year. You would also want to include the consequences if they don't pay for hosting (e.g. if they haven't paid in 60 days, you have the right to stop hosting their site, which would take it off the web).

Not yet, I have a free course coming out in the next month. I'm going to see if people like that before I make a paid course.

Hi there. Just was wondering, what would be the limits as to what you can make with wordpress. Like if someone had all the time in the world, would it be possible to make an amazon or fiverr or basically a fully interactive website where others can edit. Or are these types of websites only able to be made by a programmer. Just wondering what would the limits of wordpress be if you or anyone else in the comments would be able to answer, thank you?

@WPCasts 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Ben, I think it's definitely possible to create some very large projects with WordPress...WordPress.com being one of them. But I do think that those types of projects that you mentioned (Amazon, Fiverr, etc.) will end up running into many issues if they were built with WordPress. The WordPress database structure and overall lifecycle of a page load will end up hurting more than it helps. So while i think WordPress can handle any project I'll likely be in charge of, I feel like the once you hit an "ultra-enterprise" level of needs, you're better off with a custom solution.

At 9:26 you talk about "certain things you can get rid off". Could you make a video or elaborate on that? What are things that you could remove which would improve speed performance?

Hi Alex. I could not agree with that it's easy to find help if you run into issues. If you said easier that would be closer related to the real situation on the market. No matter where you go to employ a wed developer, Fiver, Upwork, Pperhour, you name it, there are full-stuck-devs' who do not know how to fix the smallest issue, although they dare to call themself like so. I like your weekly videos and use Wpress, but it's not that easy...

Hi Marek! I'm sorry you've had a hard time finding good developers. Have you tried Codeable? I've never personally used it, but their big sales pitch is that they vet the WP developers. codeable.io/
