Stick around to the end to find the extra step that could have huge impact on your future

Hi, and welcome back.
Everything you see on this channel is about the inner workings of WordPress and all things
web related.

miss anything.
As it turns out, putting together a great WordPress site isn't actually that difficult
once you know and understand the elements and processes that make WordPress builds simpler,
and more effective.
So what I want to show you today is exactly one of those processes – the approach you
can take to build a great WordPress site from top to bottom, and in a way that your clients
will love.
Let's get started!
Step #1: Steal!
Sorry, but there's no other way to say this.
Yep, steal.
As in take stuff.
Where by stuff I mean ideas.
And even though you might be kind of "I don't know" about this, let me just say
that stealing ideas is the most common design practice off them all.
Here's a quote by Jim Jarmusch:
The fact is that an idea in itself has no value.
It's the execution that matters.
You can easily have 10 people start with the same idea, and they will inevitably end up
with 10 different results.
Don't be afraid to steal ideas.
If you see something that resonates with you, steal it and be done with it.
Step #2: Lay the groundwork first
This is something we learned a number of years ago while running a web design agency: Clients
don't care about how beautiful their site is, they only care about what results it brings.
Once you know what you want to achieve (which should be just one main thing and not 5-10
different things, by the way) then you can continue to build the whole site around it.
Some of the more popular goals for websites include stuff like: generating leads, selling
a product, improving brand awareness, etc.
Step #3: Get the right set of tools
I guess you're not here for the obvious, so let's leave the basic tools out of this
talk (like Dropbox, Google Drive, Photoshop, and etc.).
Instead, I want to show you a different set – tools that are not that well known yet,
but they still deliver big time (!) and make every WordPress designer's life easier.
By the way, for more videos about the tools for website building with WordPress, subscribe.
Let's start with these three: Unsplash – the best source of high quality
photos with no copyright; this means you can use them however you wish.
PixelDropr – handy way of creating your own pixel collections (buttons, icons, UI
kits, etc.) and then using them in Photoshop through drag and drop.
and IcoMoon – one of the top icon fonts provider
out there; plus, you get an app you can use for building your own custom fonts.
"What?!
Only three tools?!"
To be totally honest with you, there is a bigger list that we've put together after
a couple of rounds of researching.

Step #4: To design or to modify – that is the question
There are basically two main ways of building a WordPress site: You can either take a ready-made
theme and modify it here and there, or you can build the actual structure from the ground
up.
To cut the discussion short, we're fans of the former.
If you take an existing theme you get a lot of functionality out of the box.
And that's functionality that's been tested by other people and proven to work properly.
Apart from that, in case of any difficulties, there's always someone you can ask for help.
Not the situation when building your design from scratch.
If now you are thinking: OK, but how do I choose a great WordPress theme?

Step #5: Get some non-obvious plugins on it
The main goal we're going for in this video is to get a site built quickly and in a way
that clients are absolutely in love with it.
So the plugins we need have to be pushing us towards this goal.
Again, I'm going to save you all the obvious plugins you already know of, like WordPress
SEO, Contact Form 7 or Akismet.
Instead, let's focus on the less obvious ones, yet still crucial for your clients.

Easy Content Types
That's just some of the plugins we have in our arsenal.

Step #6: Help with content creation
This is the extra step I was telling you about at the beginning.
Leaving the client behind right after they pay you for the site is a common mistake among
designers.
And it has a huge impact on your future earnings.
You should still step in and offer your help with creating the initial content and maybe
even arranging some ongoing deal around it.
In the worst case scenario, if the client fails with their site because they couldn't
figure out what and how to publish then they will sure as hell not come back for more of
your services.
But if the client thrives then they are very likely to start working on other projects.
And since you were the person who built the initial one and helped with the content, who
do you think they will reach out to?
Out of all of the steps described above, I'd say that the last one has the most impact
on your client's level of happiness in the long run.
