The WordPress Manual Plugin first evolved because we wanted to both provide our clients with the best experience of using WordPress as a CMS, and just as importantly we wanted to reduce the costs of managing the education of our clients in using their CMS.
Over 20,000 WordPress consultants have downloaded the eBooks and some of them have left testimonials about how much they love them. Read their comments here.
We also have evolved other techniques which have helped both of these goals, and have decided to share them with you. The following is the culmination of over 6 years worth of experience.
It offers advice to businesses on how to streamline their processes while giving their clients a better impression of their brand though a smoother handover.

This is a very useful e-book and as a relatively new user to WordPress it will take some time to integrate all of the good ideas and know how into my work. Thanks heaps.

Good report, well worth the reading time.
Screen prints were a little hard to read, I printed two pages per sheet of paper!
Seems dated, copyright is 2010…things change alot in 2 years.
I suspect I will buy this plugin, 26$ per month is a good price point for this service, provided its NOT per customer website.
Hey Steve,
Thanks for the feedback on the ebook. We are about to update all our ebooks. The Video User Manuals plugin is US$24 per month for unlimited client sites.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Troy.
Dear Sirs;
Thank You for this. This comes to you as one who has been working on my website and has basically had to figure things out as I go. I did manage to get something up there! It has since been revamped by the design team where I am currently being coached; Prosper. I haven’t had a chance to read all the way through, but what I have read, has given me some real insight into Web Building and Design. I am looking forward to delving in to it further. Again, Thanks!!! Louise
This book is great. I’ve been developing WordPress websites for years but I learned a lot from this book… very useful. Looking forward to the next book in the series.
Excellent report, thanks for taking the time to put it together, very informative and useful!
Thanks for the e-book, I have made a hard copy. I will definitely read the next version also. Thanks again.
As a former project manager, used to avoiding and mitigating risk, I found the free report spot on.
And how timely finding your client video series. Being in the process of creating a website development service with a difference, your client video series will fill a gap in my service set and save me heaps of time.
Your manual has a great layout, even someone like me could follow it, I have no experience with writting a computer program.
After hearing you speak at WordCamp Gold Coast I have fewer questions, and very little that I could add to what you have said (no ‘brown-nosing’ intended).
I will need to go away, apply anything I haven’t already, service my next client with a slightly altered perspective and then get back to you with some feedback. Thank you.
the best from,
Nicole
Glad you found it useful Nicole and sorry about the delaaaaayed response. Not sure how you slipped through the cracks for so long.
Let me know what else we can do.
Cheers,
Troy.
Hi, just wanted to say how informative and useful I have found your reports to be. Excellent quality and packed with useful info!
Thanks
Excellent report, found it had a tonne of useful information in an easy to understand format.
Thank you!
Your entire concept is excellent!!! I suspect I will need to walk my clients through some of the basics first (some of them don’t even want to manage any part of their websites!), and then follow up with this fabulous manual!
The report is fantastic, as well. I intend to recommend it to the members of my WordPress meetup!
Loved the first part where do I get the 2nd one? “Next – How To Sell WordPress To Clients”
This is great stuff,really improved my outlook. Looking forward to next. Will recamend.
I just wanted to thank you for this awesome report, it did help a lot ,so looking for the next one.
Thank you for these resources!
These resources have helped us provide an excellent product for our clients.
Cheers,
