G’day, Troy Dean here from Video User Manuals and I just wanted to cover off a common question that we get regarding our approach to WordPress development. One of the big questions is, do you mention WordPress in the sales presentation or the sales process or the development process with your client? Do you try and hide the fact that it’s WordPress or do you talk openly about the fact that you’re using WordPress? We’ve had a few questions and a few comments from people who seem to be a little bit confused about our philosophy on this, and I understand why. We make the White Label CMS plug-in which is all about removing WordPress from the dashboard and from the log-in screen, and we also make the Video User Manual plug-in, and the videos in that plug-in include the WordPress branding in the videos. In some of our eBooks we talk about removing WordPress from the dashboard and the log-in screen to avoid confusion. Continue reading
This is a presentation that I gave at WordCamp Phoenix 2013 earlier today via video from Melbourne, Australia, called “How to get paid what you are worth.”
It’s aimed at web developers but is true for any freelancer or entrepreneur.
And yes, I swear again. For the benefit of John O’Nolan and Mike Monteiro. And to make a point.
I was on Twitter having a conversation with the attendees as they were watching this in Phoenix and then I jumped on Skype for a live Q&A which was a lot of fun.
They seemed to enjoy it too.
I’d love to hear your feedback, so please leave me a comment below.
After two days of talking in circles with each other in an Artist’s studio in Manly, Brian and I have agreed on our vision for the company.
We took our lead from Simon Sinek and developed the following statement to help keep us on track and moving in the same direction. Continue reading
We are really excited to announce WooCommerce has arrived to the Video User Manuals plugin, and for no extra cost!
We have just added 14 new WooCommerce videos which will save you hours of training, when you hand over your WooCommerce site to your client.
The videos are available in US, UK and Australian accents and subtitles for Spanish, Portuguese and Italian will be available very soon.
Just go to the videos section in the options, to turn them on.
Did I mention we were excited about this?
We have also made some cool updates to the plugin. We realised that some of you will only want to include the WooCommerce training for the client, so we have added the ability to remove the written User Manual from the sidebar.
We also realised that you will probably be giving your clients Admin access now, so we added a nice feature which restrict the Options page to only 1 admin account. That way you can give your client a different admin account, and they will not be able to access the Options.
Finally, we added https:// support, so if your client is using https:// for their site, the plugin switches to https mode, so everything continues to function as normal.
Well, that’s it, as always we love to hear your feedback and suggestions, and all of these changes came from requests that you guys submitted, so keep them coming.
Wishing you all a prosperous 2013!
The Video User Manuals Team.
