Welcome to WMR’s WordPress community podcast press this. Here, host David vogelpohl and guests around the community discuss the biggest problems faced by WordPress developers. The following is a copy of the original recording. David vogelpohl: Hello. Welcome to WMR’s WordPress community podcast press this. This is your host David vogelpohl. I support the WordPress community through my role in WP engine. I like to convey to you the best community you can hear in the media every week. Or click it or WMR on iTunes, iHeartRadio, spotify. You can subscribe to FM to the latest episode. In this installment, we will discuss the hidden benefits and the faster workflow of WordPress agents. And for that dialogue, join us to welcome me to press this Vito, Peleg, Vito, press this. The
Vito Peleg: Thank you. David, I’m glad to be here again. I am very excited. One month after our launch, the product was here for the first time. A few years later, it was not only the product, but also came here again with a new name. Dv: very good. Very good. I’m glad to use wayback machine to go back to the previous episode. There may be other gags after the restart. I’m glad to be back here. In this episode, we will tell what Vito will tell with a company called auto dream. The company pays special attention to the workflow optimization of agents and freelancers. Vito will share his views on the reasons for workflow needs. Optimization is very important. How fast can a workflow open a hidden revenue center in a free agent business. And, in order to achieve this, you can use the method. I’m really looking forward to this Beto. Here we go. I don’t remember my last reply, so I’ll inform you again. But tell me briefly the story of the origin of the word printing press. The
VP: Yes. So I actually started building websites. In my last life, as the captain of a rock band, when I was a full-time musician all over the world, my personal side was very good. For the sake of the band itself, and then directly start to build websites for customers behind the band. Now it is almost 15 years ago. And in their 30s, it’s not cool to live in a band or be a guy with taste. At that time, we stopped our band life or tour life and began to make agents focusing on WordPress. In the first three years, we contacted 12 teams and developed a system to help deal with cloud communication, optimize project delivery and systematize work by providing customers with the experience of hundreds of websites. I left my growth and business assets on the table, which began with WP at that time. And now, that’s not two, three, three. The
Dv: it’s really interesting to hear you talk about workflow optimization. I can’t imagine whether workflow optimization is an easy thing to create a website in her hands. I can tell you that because of keeping social distance, I feel isolated from society in the back seat of the van, but it may be a good thing recently. Vito, so you may come back, but you will find out how this journey was developed. Starting from the back of others’ truck building website, it is an afternoon to start your own agent. Would you please explain what it is every afternoon? The
VP: of course. As a result, web freelancers and agents deliver projects faster, and
In proportion, the situation began to change dramatically. Look at this. Most projects in our space have fixed budgets. Start quoting. This is the amount you paid me or transferred this item. Therefore, in real time, what can be cut off is any interest left in the hands. Because basically, whether we like it or not, we are selling our time and developer’s time. The reason why we turn it into a service business. So what I want to propose is, don’t assume that the client knows. Because we assume that clients know what they expect. In this case, you will enter like a writer’s building block, or fall into the process of frustration because you are at a loss. Another good example is when I talked to customers after we first created 100 websites. For example, in this initial call, what will you talk to the customer? Got a very brief idea of their career. When I gained the leading edge in these 10 minutes, I had drawn the final product in my mind. So I heard it was like the little shop they owned. Therefore, they may sell 10 wood products, so there will be no inaccurate archive pages with filters and searches. It may be the same as several functional products. If that’s the project itself. As an alternative, if it is a real estate project, please consider how to list all properties and similar items. I’ve learned this by talking to the business definition or client for a few minutes, and got a model of how the site looks in my mind that I can assume. The client knows nothing about the visual way of the website itself. And I like to compare this, so I know our producer Eric is also a musician, so I like to compare this with music. As you know, we want to communicate with the visual products website. In other words, in most cases, for people who have never done it before, if they did, they would have done it a few years ago. It’s like explaining to someone who has never touched an instrument, not a musician. How does the song sound? Right. It’s strange that you will never get the same experience. In this way, we waste a lot of time explaining rather than introducing the necessary learning curve to people. Above, continue to compare with music. Suppose you can see the matrix, but not the client. Then, if the musicians restore it to music when listening to the song, they can’t hear the song. They can listen to the bass drum, the accompaniment quotation of the leftmost singer, and they can listen to the rhythm guitar played every few hours. Then we can listen to the matrix while they listen to the song. When viewing the website, web designers and web developers will visit other parts of WordPress to view the layout of the color configuration table and the use of processes and streams. Later, they will visit other parts of WordPress. When viewing the website, they will say so. Very good. This is a fundamental right. That is, divi is the type of button that can be found on a specific website, and can identify the theme of the tool actually used. So there is no such thing on the client. Then we begin to assume that the client has the same clarity about the project as we do, because it is repeated in a repeatable process. Dv: I like that branch. I mean, it’s a very prominent place. I’ve been there. You can almost imagine what the site will do in five minutes, depending on how the stakeholders explain it. To you, this point sounds like slowing down, letting customers receive training and understanding, and using the wrong communication cycle and waste in the future
