For developers, WordPress may seem self-evident. However, learning from clients and users how to use a new site, theme, or plug-in can be exciting. Developers’ work does not stop when code is written. To get customers to continue praising you and let them use your themes and plug-ins, you need to train in site construction, theme and plug-in functionality. There are many ways, in particular: Shipping documents for future reference, video self-study books, training, and vivina. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and some users’ and clients’ methods may be better than others. However, if you want to create a complete tutorial for the client, it is recommended that you create a good document that contains video tutorials. The
This post describes what you need to create these complete guides and how they can help clients and development efforts. Create excellent documentation your documentation will be the first step in creating a complete tutorial for the client. Users need something that they can return to and keep up with at their own pace. In some cases, you might like a PDF that can be printed. Although the video cannot be printed, you can create some documents to help start a new user. Consider combining labels, visual descriptions, and text descriptions. The
The first step in creating labels for all projects tutorial materials is to assign labels to all new projects on the client screen. Although it may seem basic, there are good reasons. If users have something new, they don’t even know what they’re looking at. Therefore, it is almost impossible to ask questions by email or telephone. Assigning labels to all back-end menus, plug-in dashboards, and component settings panels can provide language to make it easier for customers to answer questions, thereby saving time. Adding visual effects to visual objects is important for creating a tutorial in its entirety, so you must create it before entering words that describe your web design or plug-in. In fact, many people like vision very much. Think about the popularity of IKEA guides or instagram. The
Research shows that about 65% of people learn best through visual materials. This is also what Bob Dunn, a WordPress trainer and blogger, found in a recent survey of his blog. Dunn found that 63% of readers like online screenshots containing text to learn word press. If you describe the WP admin area for the WordPress client for the first time, or teach a more complex custom WordPress build, please do not skip the screenshot. Write comments to mark everything, create visual examples and screenshots if necessary, so you must add some text comments to add context or description. The
If you have described a feature with a screenshot, you may now want to explain to the user what the feature is. Additional text may be required to explain how to move from one screenshot step to the next. For example, if the following image is part of the tutorial, it will be provided with the following text: From the sidebar of the WordPress backend, go to jetpack>jetpack and open the jetpack plug-in. The most important thing is not to skip the steps. Please invite unskilled friends to check the previous tutorials to ensure that no important things are missed. It may be too easy for us to get used to the development process without noticing that important content has been skipped. If you get the second view of the tutorial, you will not skip it before the client. The
Video tutorial integration is now documented, but can be
Yes. There are also SEO themed videos. Developers can also create and add custom videos. There is a 30 day trial, starting at $24 per month. The
Male sidekick is another cool plug-in directory, which provides real-time interactive exercises in the dashboard. The free version includes 55 tutorials on word press dashboard features, site settings, and geneis framework features. The default version is free, and $3.50 per month can be extended to more than 200 tutorials. The video user manual plug-in is not in the directory, but it also provides several good options for developers. From basic word press videos to woocommerce and gravity forms tutorials, 59 videos are integrated on the user dashboard for a variety of topics. It also includes a WordPress user manual to help you ease the hassle of writing documents. The cost of a single site installation is $70, but the unlimited site developer license is $24 per month. Make the tutorial experience more perfect. The on-board experience of the client on a new word press site or a new plug-in should be easy through documentation and video tutorials, but other options can be considered. We are trying to avoid the more time-consuming training you are required to perform through face-to-face training or webina implementation guide and tutorial videos. However, in some cases, it may be worthwhile to provide customers with a homeless experience. Some customers may prefer direct contact when learning new word press sites or plug-ins and are willing to pay. Some customers who provide maintenance plans may want to handle everything within the company after the task is delivered, but others may want to have more lifecycles. Provide maintenance or support programs for these customers. Added to monthly revenue, customers can get help in case of problems. To prevent too many support requests, you can set the help required as part of the plan and the description of some tasks that do not need support. Another method is to provide a sandbox site, which can deceive the client’s experience in creating and developing sandbox sites. This is a place to test and play functions without worrying about breaking new websites. Creating a test site for the client will certainly do you more work, but it may be valuable in certain circumstances. As you may have noticed, most of the tips for creating a perfect tutorial for you are not just helpful for the client or end user. We also try to help you by importing more of your services or further simplifying our work. Let’s add some ideas on how to make the tutorial perfect. Tutorials that make onboding a value-added feature may be more than just what you need to start and run the client. Make the tutorial different and make the proposal more attractive. If you are creating a tutorial that is commonly used (for example, for frequently executed projects), add it to the initial cost quote for each client. Or it can be provided free of charge, so that customers can see the training as an additional function. Then they will think you are more valuable than your competitors. Make it once. In addition to the added value of charging or connecting, the existing tutorials can save time and cost. All the operations repeated for the client require some adjustments to switch to a tutorial that can be used by multiple clients. Once you create a resource, you can continue to use it. This can save more time for development projects. Close all developers’ development work
Yes, but not all developers provide help with sites, topics, or plug-ins. You may have experienced this at least once. Adjust the plug-in size and realize that the description of the plug-in directory is vague and does not provide documentation or support. It should be qualified enough. Customers and users are also different. Difficult or complex websites or plug-ins can also cause unhappiness. In the document, the contents displayed on the screen must be labeled, visual objects provided and all operation modes explained. Save time by integrating third-party or custom video. We will take the time to build this complete tutorial. Onboding jobs can provide value-added functions for potential customers, and may eventually charge higher fees for development jobs.
