This week on WPblab Bridget Willard & Jason Tucker speak with Sé Reed of Sé Reed Media about how small businesses can use WordPress. There is much ranting and raving about the difficulties of getting small businesses to choose WordPress over companies like Wix and Squarespace. Sé shares her perspective on educating new users to WordPress and her quest for making the entry level of self hosted WordPress easier for small businesses.

@kevinwhoffman Hi Kevin
-
Tom just published that today
-
@kevinwhoffman nice.

@YouTooCanBeGuru hellooo
-
That seriously sucks.
-

-
They can pay for every change.
-
WordPress is the BEST.
-
lol
-
They can learn HTML!
-
most business sites are brochure type sites

my name is Mario

static HTML doesn’t mean set in stone forever…
-
she loves it
-
call to action?
-
there are scripts to activate areas of an html site as a mini CMS
-
@DevinWalker omg
-
I built this HTML client site: http://www.lingscars.com/
-
Maybe I used the wrong term.
-
lol
-
your argument is based on the idea that a website requires a CMS to change. not true.
-
PageLime is one example i used to use.
-
Microsoft Frontpage.
-
Look, you don’t want to be a dev who finds themselves twenty years in still editing HTML for clients. Trust me on this.
-
and getting a client to understand Beaver Builder is a walk in the park?
-
Haha dayum
-
You don’t need a database for a site, Se. Unless the site requires content to change often.
-
It doesn’t matter if they’re willing to pay for it, it’s important that content be in the hands of the content creators and owners.
-
ha ha
-
Woah.
-
It is 2016. Databases are cheap. Storing content, versioning content – this is cheap, we have figured this out, there is no reason why anyone managing content DOESN’T need a content management system (the majority of which run on databases)
-
My point is there are clients where it is easier to add a post in Jekyll than it is to teach them all of WordPress
-
Jekyll is cool. For devs.
-
@kevinwhoffman This!
-
I have clients whose WordPress site are handled via email. I have clients who import Facebook Page statuses as posts and never touch the WP db. Figure out how your clients are creating content and then make that happen
-
just saying lets not speak in absolutes… static HTML can work
-
I hate it!
-
@kevinwhoffman I agee and most companies don’t need fancy a CMS
-
That sucks!
-
WOW
-
that’s a long time
-
you lost me a yahoo
-
lol
