Top Takeaways:
Workflow Education. Getting adoption for workflows can be challenging. Agencies may resist changes to their workflow even if the change may bring significant benefits. Investing in education is key. Contributing to WordPress education by testing things and hosting workshops and demonstrations can ensure the project as a whole succeeds.Scaling is the Safety of WordPress. Many of the page builder softwares are not built for much beyond brochure-type sites. The extensibility of WordPress makes so much possible for businesses looking to deliver excellent customer experience or expand their site capabilities.Competition vs. Cooperation. Today there is far more competition in WordPress. In the early days, competition existed alongside cooperation. We were competing while we shared, learned, and grew together. This cooperation led to innovation within WordPress and cultivated a vibrant, growing ecosystem. A shift towards community innovation can remind us that a rising tide lifts all boats.🔗 Mentioned in the show:BlogspotRevolutionStudio PressNathan RiceWP TavernJustin TadlockWebflowFigmaAJ MorrisRafal TomalDesign KitFrostWordPress LearnGoDaddyAutomatticSquarespaceWixWeeblyShopifySarah DunnGravity FormsPagelyBeaver BuilderElementor🐦 You can follow Post Status and our guests on Twitter:Brian Gardner (Developer Advocate, WPEngine)Cory Miller (CEO, Post Status)Olivia Bisset (Intern, Post Status)The Post Status Draft podcast is geared toward WordPress professionals, with interviews, news, and deep analysis. 📝
