Client Oriented WordPress Development

by Jonathan Christopher

Client work begins far before WordPress enters the conversation. I think discussion surrounding some founding principals on good client interaction and customer support is essential no matter which content management system you use.

There are many variables to consider when choosing solutions for a client project. After a number of years and countless custom themes built, I’ve come to know, trust, and love WordPress as an encompassing solution for the vast majority of my client projects.

This book aims to provide insight into the approach I apply to client work specifically concerning WordPress. With that, a number of factors need to be taken into consideration. Cost effectiveness in development, adaptability of the Web application itself, and most the user experience for the client.

The concepts are mostly very good. I'm surprised that the author recommends Thesis as a theme framework, given that he's quite clear on the fact that themes and plugins should work with WordPress's core functions and hooks when possible; I wonder how closely he's really looked at this particular framework. The rest of his recommendations are good, and he mentioned a few useful-looking plugins I hadn't seen before.

Alas, reading this was really painful due to the basic linguistic errors. I hope the next time the author decides to self-publish, he either shells out for a cooyeditor or takes the time to learn to use "it's" correctly.
