Never Say WordPress When Selling a Web Design Project
In my experience, from day 1 it was clear no one cared about the technology. Sure you'd get some asshole know-it-all types who thought they knew how web design and development worked better that you did but most of the time people would basically say "hey, I need a website that does this and that and the other thing". The technology used was never discussed. All I'd ever tell people was "yes, you can update all of the content and a good portion of the design yourself". People who mentioned technologies were usually just parroting what some other uninformed person was saying.I'm really curious, it seems a lot of people here may have made this same mistake, talking about technology rather than problems. Is this because you thought it was a selling point or because the client brought it up? Maybe I've just had unusual clients but this entire "problem" never really cropped up for me during my time working as a solo designer/developer.
