For something so popular, there certainly are a lot of myths surrounding WordPress, its uses, and its viability in certain situations. I can't tell you how many potential clients run as soon as I say, "WordPress."

Maybe you've been one of them! Maybe you are afraid of WordPress, too. Or maybe you’re searching for a website solution for your business,  and you’ve heard many stories—both pros and cons—about WordPress that have left yo...

One of the biggest complaints I hear from DIY web designers is they don't have a ton of time. There are somethings you can't skip -- you'll need visual assets -- but you can speed up the design process by taking advantage of Divi's portability function.

In this podcast episode I talk about child themes, and if you decide you need one I suggest you use the plugin One-Click Child Theme whi...

Ah, content migration. This is never fun, but it's often unavoidable. If you've started a website on another platform and then realise that WordPress is the best option for you, your choices are to go through the migration process or scrap it and start from scratch. The biggest concern people have when they come to me about a migration is:

I don't want to lose my blog posts.

And of course not!

Nobody wants to take all their hard work ...

As much as it pains me to say this, there is no one-size-fits-all answer to, "WTF should I put on my Start Here page?"

I get this question all the time, and people are always looking for a quick answer. They want me to give them a formula of exactly what your Start Here page needs to have and where to put it.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer here, and the designers that give you a list of elements without first asking about your ...
