While its easy to set yourself up on WordPress.com to publish a simple blog, you may have more robust requirements for your WordPress website. Maybe you are looking to implement a database of automobiles for sale, an e-commerce shop to sell jewelry and clothing or even implement a subscription model and ask users to pay to read your site. If so, this might require finding someone who can build the experience you are looking for, without breaking the bank. WordPress has grown well beyond its core into a fully developed platform where you can implement just about any idea, but capable designers and developers seem to be few and far between. Everyone seems to know WordPress, but finding someone you can trust isn’t as easy at it sounds. In this session, you will learn where to find designers and developers in your local area or beyond to build the unique WordPress experience you envision. We’ll discuss how to set expectations, manage your project from concept to completion and the ongoing maintenance of your projects.
