Episode 95 Can Better WordPress Development Standards Help Your Business?

Published: July 3, 2018, 10 a.m.

This week we've taken a look at the other side of running a WordPress business - the development.
\n
\nWe were joined by Alain Schlesser and Anton Ukhanev, two great developers who believe that developing your plugins and themes (and WordPress core itself) to as high a standard as you can will only help your business and the WordPress community grow further.
\n
\nWordPress is growing in popularity, exceeding the 30% mark for the\xa0number of websites running WordPress worldwide. However, it's also facing some controversy within the community over the approach being taken to Gutenberg, especially from developers.
\n
\nI won't give too much away, so listen in to hear about the pain-points within WordPress from a developer's perspective, how this affects those running businesses around WordPress, and where the WordPress community went wrong and what it's doing right with Gutenberg and more.
