Very good article. Thanks.
Would you recommend using snippets where possible or should I stick to plugins?

I got a client and he want a CMS to easily edit content on the site. To do so, I will create another user and choose what the user can see and what the user can not see. Obviously, he will see only the parts that matters for him. Such as Page and Add a new post and edit them.

If he add some bad code that will break the site, he will call me, and I will fix but I want to be paid. It is a way that you have to earn some extra money with client mistakes.

Thanks for the tips.
By the way, I am from Brasil, if you find some english mistakes that i`ve made, forgive me.

Great article! I’ve always been an advocate of WordPress for enterprise websites. It’s a really flexible and powerful CMS, really easy admin backend for clients too!

@jehn glynn: prepare both an InDesign and give a printed version of it to the client so he can write and sketc possible remarks. You can also take notes on a separate print.

As for advising, I would suggest to create a new user for your client and restrict him from certain functions of WordPress, so you make sure he will not make a mess out of the site.

Hii! I have been searching the internet for info like this. Thank you so much!

I have a question and I was wondering if you would not mind answering it for me? I am working for a freelance client doing their website and logo design. We have had our initial meetings and I know what they want and do want for their website. The next step is for me to show them 3 website layout ideas and then they choose from there & I make the skeleton of the website etc…
I am using wordpress for this and have 3 themes in mind that would work with what they want but they are different.
My question is: How would I present these website ideas? Just as sketches? In an InDesign file, converted to a PDF, printed out and mounted? What are your thoughts? I am totally lost…

Thank you Thank you Thank you!

Thank you for this list! I’ve found that DimDim is a great tool for walking clients through and training them. You can record the meeting, as well, for future reference (saves you time because you don’t have to train and re-train).

Excellent list. I’d like to stress the importance of points #2, #3 and #8. Setting up your client for the long run is crucial.
