PODCAST

WP Builds

Web site building with WordPress. In this podcast we follow the hopeless exploits of David Waumsley and Nathan Wrigley as they try, and fail, to understand WordPress. They know that they love building websites with WordPress, but the complexities of this awesome web building solution are always out of reach. Not only are they not clever enough, but they just don"t try all that hard

2017/04/27

Today we talked about the price of using WordPress. No, it's not a long sob story about how the wife and kid left us! Those trailer park days are behind us now! The topic came out of a Facebook discussion around a plugin release. It got us thinking about our expectations as "professional" builders of websites.

We hate to say it, but DIY website building solutions are getting more attractive all the time. They offer an empowering solution to the "I want a website" problem. Are we facing extinction?

WP Builds ·

2017/04/06

My oh my! Software licenses. What a knotty subject that it. It seems we both came to WordPress seeing software primarily as the tools we use to build websites. I mean who asks a plumber what spanner he (sometimes she) uses to fix a boiler? Okay, maybe Nathan might, but that’s not the point!

2017/03/30

Today we ask ourselves what skills do we need to offer a full web design service. That sounded like a great topic. It turns out it's a bit slippery this one.Is a webdesigner like a graphic designer for the web or someone who designs business solutions that are realised on the web?

2017/03/23

In what can only be described as a bizarre coincidence today is "World day of making a podcast about WordCamps". Even more freakily (is that really a word?) we have both just recently attended our first WordCamps. I know, you're right - it’s almost unbelievable!

8 – Shiny new toys

WP Builds ·

2017/01/12

David Waumsley and Nathan Wrigley explore the notion of "shiny new things". This is when you buy things that, perhaps, you don't need, just because it is new and you don't have it! We find out that Nathan is a complete sucker for buying things that he does not need, will not use, and perhaps does not even want.
