Screencast videos are a really powerful way of demonstrating web development issues to clients.

“No code” and client services: developer, be less rockstar
Kelsey Hightower made the following excellent statements on “no code” (in relation to a wider discussion about serverless and Kubernetes, here which I highly recommend giving a listen to):

Looking to get a quote or estimate to migrate a Magento 1.x store over to WooCommerce in the next year or so?
Need help setting up WooCommerce Shipping rules?
A lot of my clients come to me looking for help with a range of WooCommerce problems, and one of the main things many don’t have so much concept of (before they get started with their stores) is shipping.
“I want my website to load in under 1 second”
Do you want your website to load in under 1 second? On the front end (the public side) and the backend (the admin side)… in fact, on all pages? Of course you do.
