Cinq sites Web ont été examinés par notre panel d’experts. Les propriétaires des sites ont reçu des conseils sur le design, le marketing et la performance.

Learning how to use them properly means you’ll never risk losing all your modifications when the developer releases a new version and you update the theme. Using easy-to-follow language, I’ll walk you through the steps to set up a child theme on your laptop’s WordPress installation and we’ll make some tweaks together – from CSS adjustments to more substantial changes in functionality.

Souhaitez-vous avoir une deuxième opinion sur votre site Web ou celui d’un client? Ce mois-ci, nous tiendrons une clinique de site WordPress, mettant à votre disposition, un panel d’expert(e)s bien outillé(e)s pour répondre à vos questions.

March 23: Uncle Jake Needs a Website


Français ci-dessous.

Sooner or later, every web designer or developer gets a request for help from a good friend or family member. How do you decide when to say Yes or No? Should you always be paid? How do you manage the expectations and changes to the relationship? What’s different about this kind of ‘client’ and what should you be prepared for? Come and learn the art of negotiating delicate deals that involve loved ones, and how to manage the process so that it doesn’t come back to bite you next Thanksgiving/Christmas.
