Ep 285 – Do These Things Before Taking On A Website You Didn’t Build

Taking on a website you didn’t build is like gazing at the beautiful tip of an iceberg above the surface. At first glance, it appears captivating and pristine, but beneath the waterline lies a complex web of hidden challenges and unexpected surprises. Just like the tip of an iceberg, the visible aspects of a website may seem appealing and functional, but you never know what lies beneath. It could be a messy code structure, outdated plugins, or a tangled web of dependencies waiting to be unraveled. Navigating the depths of someone else’s WordPress creation requires a blend of curiosity, expertise, and a touch of daring. You’ll need to dive deep, explore the unseen intricacies, and bring order to the chaos. It’s a journey that demands both technical prowess and a sprinkle of magic.
