Ready to start charging for building sites in WordPress? Welcome! WordPress has a great community, and there are endless resources available to you (both free and paid). You’ll be making clients happy in no time.

In my five years of WordPress development, I’ve made my share of mistakes, and fixed my share of other developers’ mistakes as well.

In this session, I’ll share tips on becoming a better WordPress consultant, and on empowering clients with WordPress. Bad or lazy development practices set your clients up for failure, because other developers have to start over when they inherit your work—or, worse: the client’s site breaks and you’re not around to fix it anymore. You can do better.

This session is for you if:

• You know know HTML/CSS, are somewhat proficient in PHP and JavaScript.
• Almost all of your projects start with existing themes.
• Almost all functionality in your projects come from existing plugins.
• You’re working with budgets under $10,000.

Let’s build a better web together!
