How to jumpstart your design process
9/30/2017
One of the biggest complaints I hear from DIY web designers is they don't have a ton of time. There are somethings you can't skip -- you'll need visual assets -- but you can speed up the design process by taking advantage of Divi's portability function.

Do you need a child theme for Divi
9/13/2017
Show notes: designerless.com/podcast
I keep hearing questions about: do you need a child theme for Divi?
Well, the answer is basically, no....unless you're changing your functions file or making other changes to the code of the theme. For just updating CSS, you can do that all in Divi Theme Options. In this podcast episode I talk about child themes, and if you decide you need one I suggest you use the plugin One-Click Child Theme which creates a child theme for you instantly.

How to migrate content to WordPress
8/17/2017
Ah, content migration. This is never fun, but it's often unavoidable. If you've started a website on another platform and then realise that WordPress is the best option for you, your choices are to go through the migration process or scrap it and start from scratch. The biggest concern people have when they come to me about a migration is:
I don't want to lose my blog posts.
And of course not!
Nobody wants to take all their hard work -- all those posts and pages they've spent so long...

What to do on your Start Here page
8/2/2017
As much as it pains me to say this, there is no one-size-fits-all answer to, "WTF should I put on my Start Here page?"
I get this question all the time, and people are always looking for a quick answer. They want me to give them a formula of exactly what your Start Here page needs to have and where to put it.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer here, and the designers that give you a list of elements without first asking about your revenue model, are -- well -- wrong.
