Throw out your rice cooker

The phrase, “Set it and forget it”, when it comes to cooking rice in a rice cooker, can be great, but when applied to a website, it can prove to be catastrophic. This short sighted approach can set your business and/or your clients’ businesses up for failure. In order for a website to be more than just a temporary digital ornament, and to make the investment worthwhile, it must be: Stable, User Friendly, Flexible, and Sustainable. Lets explore what each of these means, on a practical level, and discuss how refining our approach to new and existing projects not only improves our immediate situation, but also contributes to the overall reputation and market demand for more WordPress solutions.

About Chris Reynolds

I am a Developer Advocate at Pantheon and have been working with WordPress since my first foray as a freelance web designer and developer specializing in 2007. Since then, I've worked with Event Espresso, WebDevStudios, Human Made and Altis and I wrote of a bunch of WordPress-centric online training courses for Pluralsight. When I'm not writing code (or, these days, blog posts, GitHub actions, or videos), I run and play Dungeons & Dragons, occasionally make electronic music and cheer for Utah Royals FC.
