What a nice combo you have: JetPackPro+ElementorPro. Double trouble.

Take a sick leave for a week. If they notice you're not there, take another week. It they not notice, go three weeks Hawaii. I do not know what is more proper for your position: Parkinson's Law or Dilbert Principle.

then I repeat: rclone/rsync mysqldump and tared wp to desired storage, it's faster and more reliable than any plugin. set it in crontab and forget it.

It's possible. Just be aware that Claude likes to pump theme.json to the sky, hard to adjust if needed. Using hybrid aproach (css, js, fonts and images stored in assets subdir) can keep it lighter. But, I have a feeling that you reinvent the wheel. Decent light theme like Gen…

Does you host provide backups? Use it. Does you host have storage blocks? Off load media to, as /u/bluesix_v2 suggested Do you have root ssh access? rclone/rsync mysqldump and tared wp to desired storage, it's faster and more reliable than any plugin.

5 years ago switched from Elementor to GeneratePress+GenerateBlocks+ACF. Never looked back. Nowadays more towards custom FSE+ACF.

I just want to be polite, to give them some motivation, gentle push I could be harsh and said: RTFM Or patronizing: - https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/ - https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/ but I am in good mood today, so I was gentle

it's question of discipline and structural thinking once you get used to it, everything will be easier

1. mysqldump + tar on server 2. rclone to S3 3. rsync to local PC 4. server backup at host level (Hetzner, Linode) 1-3 = incidents and failures, 4 for disasters. For me it's strange idea to backup WP from within WP. Although for some paranoid clients UpdraftPlus.

> I start with black-and-white wireframes that focus on content and function, then, once approved, I further develop that design to fit the client’s brand with colour, images, icons, etc. into a “prototype” that then gets approved and I build the site to match. That's the way. I…

Static site with link to/embeded Calendly or HubSpot. Host for free at CloudeFLare. You do not need burden of WP (plus Polylang, GoogleAdds and Amelia) for 4 static pages. Claude is the choice.

Design is more complex than creating WP site. I do not understand why web developers so easily take the role of designers. It asks for proper education. Client wants visual redesign, it's up on them to provide design. If you already took a project: steal, borrow, copy... One of…

Mysqldump, tar, rsync up (manually) and down (crontabed as backup) for me; wp-cli to fix url (used to be sql script, once upon a time).

Claude will take 20$. 4 static pages, with all material delivered (fonts, logos, images, text) = two afternoons. One for conceptual proposal, second for CSS. In WordPress, 2-4 hours, after the theme/template is chosen. But who needs WP for 4 static pages.

Google? https://m3.material.io/ https://www.coursera.org/search?query=design

Start with the basics: https://elementor.com/blog/principles-of-website-design/. BTW - those sites are the worst examles of overacting; disturbing like a hell.

You live in stone age, man. Nowadays everything is normal: influencers more trusted than doctors, Snowhite is almost black, Trumpo is peacemaker... So, why do one has to learn a trade to become a master o' craft!? Cheers.

Perfect case for AI. Feed them with official WP skills (https://github.com/WordPress/agent-skills) and enjoy.

Astra theme plus Spectra Blocks = you would probably find a site template at their site, you can adjast to your needs.

This site from link is so borring, predictable, AI slop good junior work, although I will let you build one for me, if I have a hotel and if you pay me reasonable money would be good for your portfolio

Claude, probably...

Claude says: no.

Why do you need $500? ^**?**^ The best investment would be dinner with the boss of the most prestigious agency in your area. **?** Best sites I've create didn't cost me a dime. FSE+ACF/Pods+CSS. But, if you are eager to spend money: Bricks and ACFPro.

There are afew options: - WP: host at SiteGround; GeneratePress theme plus GenerateBlocks plugin; use their Costructions SiteStarter (https://generatepress.com/site-library/). The simplest and the most performant, among WP options.Still, lot of work for you, both on backend and …

Core has to dump a lot of stuff: duotone, gradients, collaboration, AI, all these embeds (who needs Wolfram!?). It need only two thing: ACF and SMTP. I've used to dream that WP could be modular (like Drupal or ProcessWire), but I've get AI. But, it doesn't matter anymore. Now …

i find your site responsive, not slow at all typical Elementor/WooCommerce I would kill half of sliders and animations, it's annoying visitors are coming to buy, not to enjoy your designer skills

It's not in the css, it's js that kill the site https://yellowlab.tools/result/hjiykb48hy/rule/totalWeight GoogleTagManaer, I suspect.

1. Host on SiteGround - they offer backup,mail, security, speed, backend cache, image compression, DN, etc - less headache on a long term. Never host on [EIG](https://www.onlinetoolsexpert.com/full-list-of-eig-web-hosting-companies/) - they are bunch of scoundrels 2. [Astra Them…

I didn't touch Elementor/WooCommerce for years; done a few simple webshops with above combo. If client is aware that they are resposible for content, it's doable in a week. A long week (60-70 hours). Anyhow, I am downvoted.

Yes, it is. Fix it - https://dev.to/cifi/how-to-fix-a-hacked-wordpress-website-complete-recovery-guide-12n6

Distraction by overacting, mildly speaking. Good only for graphic art school competition, screaming "I'm educated and creative, admire me." Piece of crap, less mildly speaking.

pleasure is mine.

Astra theme + SpectraBlocks plugin + SureCart plugin/Saas. Advantage: all from same developer, UI consistency across the board. Find there template you can use, polish with some CSS. Claude can help, but you have instruct them what to omit. Trick is to reduce, not to add. Doabl…

Use it in child theme.

I wouldn't do this in WP. Teams in NextCloud would probably solves all your demands: https://nextcloud.com/features/#teams

you do not nieed plugin for that https://www.w3schools.com/howto/tryit.asp?filename=tryhow_js_slideshow_auto

AI can be autistic junior with google memory, but also can be stuborn well seasoned boomer. It's up to you how you will use it.

I agree.

Just apply Blog template to all pages. Or adjust Page template to be like Blog template.

I have my NextCloud server for this.

If you have ssh access to host. Majority of WP sites does not have it, so plugin is the only option. Duplicator for all in one file, UpdraftPro for granulated approach. For me is always: zipped mysqldump plus WP rsynced to both local andS3; all in crontab. Old, good and proven 3…

a lot of good plugins are better than a few bad but, a few good plugins are even better

Still, $4 a month is very cheap for infrastructure wordpress.com offers. If you want absolute free - localwp and export to static, host for free at CloudFlare.

Any valid argument why selfhosting, with all security, speed and maintenace burden better than wordpress.com for simple 5-6 pages brochure site?

the most simple is https://wordpress.com

Search this subredd, answered more than a few times... All in all, Kadence is bought by vulture company, original developers left the ship. No future there, IMHO.

astro.js, cloudflare pages, markdown - terms I'm not sure OP is familiar with...

Tempi pasati.

Matt is not my comrade.

Takes years to come to that level. And proper “schooling”. I know a few seniors without real knowledge of the basics: HTML, CSS and pure JavaScript. Throwing JS framework into everything.

> A better world is possible, and wordpress is at the forefront of that. Bold statement. Very, very bold. WP is just simple (or complex, for some) CMS. Matt is cracking under drugs. Hint - bleeding nose interview. Neither him not his product will make world better place.

Kadence is the dead end. GeneratePress+GenerateBlocks is lighter than Astra+SpectraBlocks.

I think your post are hieroglyphs for OP. wordpress.com or Medium is more than enough for simple blog.

https://learn.wordpress.org wanna pagebuilder: BeaverBuilder. but, first do the basics, links above.

Am I allowed to ask Claude for you?

Almost ideal case for Claude. Just drop sketch and questions to it, maybe you'll get some directions. Work from there. Success.

Stay as close to standards and widely accepted frameworks. And remember, you build sites for visitors. Not as a proof of your skills. Long term, WordPress offers best ROI.

Trivial task for WordPress. PaidMemebershipPro and Eventin should be enough. Avoid TheEventCalendar, it's source of unexpected troubles.

I like that no-style styling; web as it use to be: all info is there, nothing distracts.

Some sort of "pending" state has to be implemented in both cases.
