Podcasts about Elementor

In this podcast episode, host Michelle Frechette interviews Remco Nieuwenhuis, a WordPress professional from the Netherlands and founder of WPSupporters and WPoptic. Remco shares his journey from military and police service to tech entrepreneurship, discusses the creation of WP Optic—a fast, accurate browser extension for detecting WordPress themes and plugins—and demonstrates its features live. The conversation covers challenges, future plans, and community involvement, ending with the host encouraging listeners to try WP Optic and announcing a brief podcast break for WordCamp US.Top Takeaways:WPoptic is a fast, WordPress-focused browser extension: Remco Nieuwenhuizen developed WPoptic to quickly detect if a site is built with WordPress, along with its themes and plugins. Unlike broader tools like BuiltWith or Wappalyzer, WPoptic focuses specifically on WordPress and boasts near-instant detection speeds, currently identifying around 17,000 plugins with plans to expand to over 50,000.Development involved overcoming early challenges: The first version of WPoptic was built by an overseas developer but lacked scalability, security, and depth in plugin detection. After receiving feedback from a competitor-turned-collaborator, Remco decided to rebuild the tool from scratch, prioritizing speed, security, and accuracy. This pivot confirmed market demand and improved the product's professional quality.Growth and monetization plans center on data and community: WPoptic has around 800 Chrome users and aims to monetize through features like an export function, AI-assisted plugin detection, and potentially dashboards for plugin developers to track installations and competition. Remco emphasizes organic growth, user feedback, and avoiding heavy reliance on advertising, preferring to fund development through his other business, WPSupporters.Mentioned In The Show:WPopticWaveBuilt WithWPSupportersWappalyzerWPfounders article about Remco NieuwenhuizenElementorWPBakeryDivi

In this episode of Cache Up, host Michelle Frechette chats with Miriam Schwab, Head of WordPress at Elementor, about the company's latest innovations. They discuss new products like the Image Optimizer, Site Mailer, Ally accessibility plugin, and Angie, Elementor's AI assistant. Miriam shares insights on Elementor's codebase revamp for better performance, the company's commitment to accessibility, and the growing role of AI in WordPress. The conversation also highlights Elementor's community involvement, especially at WordCamp US, and the expanding availability of their tools beyond just Elementor users.Top Takeaways:Elementor Expands Beyond Page Building: Elementor is rapidly evolving beyond its roots as a page builder, expanding into a full suite of standalone tools that serve broader WordPress needs. These include utilities like Site Mailer for email deliverability, Image Optimizer for performance, Ally for accessibility, and the soon-to-launch AI assistant Angie. Importantly, many of these tools work independently of Elementor, making them accessible to all WordPress users regardless of their chosen builder.AI Integration is Shaping the Future of Elementor: A major focus for Elementor is integrating AI to streamline website creation and management. From Site Planner, which generates a full website structure from a prompt, to Ally's AI-powered accessibility fixes, and Angie's promise of automating time-consuming tasks, Elementor is positioning AI as a core part of the WordPress user experience. This not only increases efficiency but helps WordPress remain competitive and user-friendly in an AI-driven era.Performance and Speed Take Center Stage with Version 4: Elementor is addressing long-standing concerns about performance by refactoring its aging codebase. Version 4 (V4) of the page builder brings improvements in speed, cleaner code, and better development workflows. This overhaul is designed to benefit both end users, who will see faster websites, and developers, who will gain the ability to deploy new features more quickly and cleanly.Mentioned in the Show:ElementorW3TechsImage OptimizerAllySite Planner AngieWP Accessibility DayUnderrepresented in Tech

In this podcast episode, host Michelle Frechette  and guest Sam Waines from Barn 2 Plugins dive into the world of video content creation within the WordPress community. They discuss practical tips on equipment, editing software, and the importance of audio quality. Both share personal experiences, challenges, and lessons learned, emphasizing storytelling and authenticity as keys to audience engagement. The conversation also covers adapting to trends like short-form video and balancing technical skills with creativity. The episode offers actionable advice and inspiration for aspiring content creators looking to improve their video production and connect with viewers.Top TakeawaysContent Is King—Even with Imperfect Production: Across the discussion, Michelle and Sam stress that storytelling, relevance, and usefulness matter more than having flawless lighting, audio, or editing. Viewers are drawn to authentic, valuable stories, not just polished visuals. Imperfection is not a deal-breaker if the message resonates.You Don't Need Expensive Gear to Get Started: Michelle began her podcast with just her built-in Mac mic; Sam started with a $12 lav mic. Both reinforced that starting with what you have—whether it's free software like Audacity, basic webcams, or a phone—is more than enough. You can upgrade incrementally as your content and skills grow.Audio Setup and Environment Make a Big Difference: Simple adjustments like mic placement, soundproofing with rugs or curtains, and checking input levels (especially after software updates) can dramatically improve audio quality. Sam recommends keeping recording levels around 25–50% and watching for clipping using tools like OBS or native Mac settings.Mentioned In The Show:Barn 2 PluginsNomad With UsDaVinci ResolveBlue YetiSony a6400WordPress.orgElementorStreamYardZoom Adobe RushAudacityDescript GarageBand iMovie Screen StudioMira teleprompter software

In this episode of The WP Minute+ podcast, Kurt and Toby dive into the common misconception that WordPress (and websites in general) should be “easy.” They share stories about custom-coded nightmares, misunderstood AI-generated solutions, and the tricky line between client expectations and developer realities. The conversation touches on the perils of overpromising simplicity in web development and the challenges freelancers face when clients hand them projects that were “supposed to be easy,” often involving ChatGPT or drag-and-drop builders like Elementor.Kurt also shares his eye-opening experience speaking to high school students about WordPress and running an agency. Surprisingly, most students had never heard of WordPress or open-source, revealing a gap in technical and entrepreneurial education. The episode concludes with a candid discussion on freelancing versus employment, benefits myths, impostor syndrome, and the emotional leap required to run a digital agency.Key Takeaways:Many clients mistake ease-of-use tools (like Elementor or AI) for simplicity in execution.AI-generated code often introduces unexpected complexity and risks.Freelancers should diplomatically explain scope, staging, and testing needs, especially for “quick” fixes.Young people are alarmingly unfamiliar with WordPress and open source, despite growing interest in web development.Running a WordPress agency is accessible, but requires an entrepreneurial mindset, not just technical skills.Freelancers and consultants should confidently share their work and availability. Your visibility is key to opportunity.Financial freedom and geographic flexibility can be drastically improved by relocating or adjusting business models.Important Links:Kurt's Agency: Mañana No MasToby's Agency: The Mighty Mo!Follow Kurt & Toby:LinkedIn: Kurt | Toby ★ Support this podcast ★

There's nothing better than talking to a web designer who's enjoying their work, loving their clients, making good money and who's just all around thriving. And that's why I'm pumped to share this recent convo I had with Kristin Adkins of Crash Design Co who's found a suite niche by becoming the trusted “web designer for speakers”Kristin was on the podcast (ep 143) when she had just gone full time and I thought it was a good time to catch up because now, 5 years later, she's grown her business, nailed her niche and continues to love every minute of it. A lot of web designers get burned out, take too much on or have goals that lead to stress and growth pains but Kristin's done it right by building a business around her lifestyle goals and mid-west pace.This was a hard one to title because we get into everything from:NichingScaling/hiringBuilding a referral networkRaising ratesSticking with Elementor (and not having shiny object syndrome)The value of sending clients “website launch packs”And so much more. But it's all the things that have led to her having an amazing first 5 years so that's what we get into in this one.P.S. Wouldn't it be cool to see her website launch pack examples and process? Kristin will be doing a special guest training inside Web Designer Pro™ this summer so jump on in to connect with her!Head to the show notes to get all links and resources we mentioned along with a full transcription of this episode at joshhall.co/375

He emphasizes the importance of standardizing workflows, focusing on client relationships, and leveraging AI to streamline operations while maintaining the human touch.The conversation also covers the ongoing debate around page builders vs. custom development, why clients are drawn to platforms like Webflow, and how agency owners can differentiate themselves in a crowded market.

He also shares his experience growing Clio Websites from a solo venture to a thriving agency, including his hiring strategy and project management approach.Key TakeawaysWordPress Agency Challenges & Growth:WordPress remains a powerful CMS, but fragmentation in tools and workflows can be overwhelming.Specializing in a particular stack (like Elementor or Bricks) helps streamline development and improve efficiency.Scaling requires hiring the right people and removing bottlenecks in workflow management.AI & Automation in Web Development:AI is a valuable tool for SEO, content creation, and code assistance, but it won't replace human creativity.Agencies should embrace AI to optimize processes, but client relationships remain a key differentiator.Future pricing models may factor in AI usage, with clients choosing between human-led and AI-assisted development.Competing with DIY Platforms & Other CMSs:Platforms like Webflow and Wix appeal to clients due to their branding and perceived simplicity.Education is key—agencies must communicate the long-term benefits of WordPress over closed ecosystems.Many businesses prefer expert-built solutions rather than relying on DIY website builders.Scaling a WordPress Agency:The key to agency growth is hiring strategically and standardizing processes.Transparent pricing and client pre-qualification save time and lead to better-fit projects.Implement clear project management structures and defined SOPs (standard operating procedures) to improve workflow efficiency.Important LinksThe WP Minute+ Podcast: thewpminute.com/subscribeConnect with Nat Miletic:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natmileticTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/NatMileticClio Websites: https://cliowebsites.com/ Support us for as little as $5 to join our members-only Slack group. ★ Support this podcast ★

Ofrece Diferentes Niveles de Servicio: Considera tener varios planes que se adapten a las necesidades de tus clientes, desde un mantenimiento básico hasta uno más completo que incluya soporte y tareas recurrentes. Incluye Tareas Recurrentes: Piensa en tareas que puedas realizar mensualmente, como informes de SEO, actualizaciones de contenido, o diseño de promociones. Ejemplo de Plan de Mantenimiento Un plan básico podría incluir: Actualizaciones de plugins y WordPress. Copias de seguridad. Soporte limitado. Mientras que un plan más avanzado podría ofrecer: Informes de rendimiento. Tareas de diseño recurrentes. Consultoría mensual. Captación de Clientes: Estrategias Efectivas Definiendo tu Cliente Ideal Para captar clientes, es fundamental que definas quién es tu cliente ideal. Pregúntate: ¿Qué tipo de negocios quieres atraer? ¿Dónde se encuentran estos clientes? Estrategias de Captación Eventos Presenciales: Participa en ferias y eventos de networking para conectar con potenciales clientes. Redes Sociales y Comunidades Online: Utiliza plataformas como LinkedIn o grupos de Telegram para promocionar tus servicios. Contenido de Valor: Crea contenido que demuestre tu experiencia y ayude a tus clientes a entender la importancia de un buen mantenimiento web.

Preguntas Frecuentes y Respuestas ¿Cómo se valora el precio de un plan de mantenimiento? Se puede hacer un estudio de lo que hacen otros y adaptar los precios a tus preferencias. Es recomendable tener varios planes que se adapten a diferentes necesidades, y el precio debe basarse en la experiencia y el valor que ofreces. ¿Qué incluye un plan de mantenimiento? Un plan de mantenimiento puede incluir actualizaciones de plugins, copias de seguridad, soporte técnico, informes de rendimiento y SEO, y tareas recurrentes personalizadas según las necesidades del cliente. ¿Cómo conseguir clientes y convencerlos de trabajar contigo? Es importante definir qué tipo de clientes deseas atraer y en qué te quieres diferenciar. Busca eventos y comunidades donde se muevan esos clientes y ofrece un valor claro que les haga ver la inversión en tus servicios como algo necesario. ¿Qué plugins son imprescindibles para una web? Algunos plugins imprescindibles incluyen: Seguridad: Solid Security o Wordfence. Optimización: LiteSpeed Cache o WP Rocket. SEO: RankMath. Formularios: JetForm Builder. Copias de seguridad: UpdraftPlus o BackWPup. ¿Cómo se hace un mantenimiento web efectivo? Un mantenimiento efectivo incluye tareas recurrentes, informes de mejoras, y un enfoque proactivo en la optimización y seguridad del sitio. Es importante personalizar el servicio según las necesidades del cliente. ¿Qué hacer si un cliente no valora la importancia de una web? Educar al cliente sobre los beneficios de tener una web y cómo puede impactar en su negocio. Comparar el mantenimiento de una web con otros gastos fijos que tienen en su negocio puede ayudar a que lo entiendan mejor. ¿Es posible tener Elementor y Brics en la misma web? Aunque se pueden instalar ambos, no se recomienda usar dos constructores de páginas a la vez, ya que puede causar conflictos y problemas de visualización. Es mejor elegir uno y trabajar con él. ¿Qué hacer si un cliente prefiere usar plataformas como Buxy en lugar de tener su propia web? Explicar las ventajas de tener una web propia, como el control total sobre el contenido y la personalización, así como la posibilidad de construir una marca más sólida. ¿Cómo se pueden ofrecer servicios de mantenimiento web a clientes que no están interesados? Cambiar la forma en que se presenta el servicio, enfatizando que el mantenimiento es esencial para el funcionamiento continuo y la seguridad del sitio, y que es una inversión necesaria para el éxito del negocio.

WordPress is a very popular tool for making websites that can be easily extended to get the job done. While the original focus of WordPress was blogs, over time other websites started being created with it through the use of plugins like WooCommerce (eCommerce sites), ACF (dynamic data-driven sites), and Elementor (sites that can be built visually). This versatility fuels WordPress' continued popularity, but also brews a community that believes it's a bloated and dated tool.
