If you use Wordpress to find clients, it's tough to find good paying work. But if you find clients elsewhere, then you can use Wordpress as a part of your overall solution and save time.
- Raed667 11y agoThese "WordPress admins" are just giving the rest of us a bad name. Last time I tried to convince a client that a WordPress would suit their needs just fine with a custom theme that I'll write, they first disagreed and wanted some framework then tried to cut the budget in half (just for mentioning WordPress)
- jakejake 11y agoWow that sounds like a bad client!
- nofearinc 11y agomost _capable_ people selling WordPress nowadays don't sell WordPress itself, but a solution, purely because of the bad rap and the "WordPress developers" out there. I personally don't feel comfortable being "ashamed" of what I work because of the fact that 9 out of 10 people out on the street sell WordPress websites and claim that they are developers. And I don't see a reason to switch to a more elitist community just to avoid the ones who've intruded or don't know better due to the lack of educational resources and standards.
