20 Years of WordPress: The Impact on Freelancers

The WP Minute

Play Episode Listen Later May 9, 2023 8:20


On May 27, 2023, WordPress will celebrate its 20th birthday. It's hard to fathom that the software has been around for so long. Yet some of us may struggle to remember what the web was like without it.Just think of the designers, developers, and users that have come along during these past two decades. A whole generation has had easy access to content management and nearly-endless customization. Lucky them!As a more experienced (ahem, old) freelancer, I can recall the challenge of building advanced websites pre-WordPress. Thus, I believe the software has been transformative. It has impacted virtually every aspect of a web designer's job.To celebrate this incredible milestone, let's take a look at what WordPress means to freelancers. We'll explore how its features and philosophy have empowered web professionals the world over.A Reliable Foundation for Any ProjectA typical WordPress project starts like this:Install WordPress.Add a theme and any necessary plugins.Optionally add custom code as needed.Add content.Launch!There's more to it – but you get the idea. The amazing part of this process is that it doesn't matter what type of website you are building. WordPress and its ecosystem make it possible.This wasn't always the case. Previously, content management systems (CMS) had been either built for niche usage or were severely limited in capability.Themes existed for some systems, but nowhere near the breadth of what we see today. And the same goes for plugins.For freelancers, this often meant scouring the web for a suitable solution. If you were a particularly gifted coder, you could build a tool from scratch. But either way, there were obstacles at every turn.WordPress brought a new level of flexibility to the masses. We may spend time picking out the perfect plugins. But the foundations of what we need are already there.This doesn't mean WordPress is the perfect fit for every project. But we can be confident that what we want to build is at least possible. That's a big deal.Plenty of Opportunities for MonetizationWhen you think about it, the concept behind WordPress is revolutionary. It's free, open-source software that can be used for any purpose.To put this into perspective: there's no separate license for commercial use. You don't need to buy anything. You don't even have to send co-founders Mike Little or Matt Mullenweg a “thank you” note.When I first started using WordPress, I was taken aback by this ethos. I was even a bit suspicious of it. Surely, they would pull the rug out from under us at some point? The software will inevitably cost money, right?Well, that hasn't happened. Quite the opposite. As people around the world have discovered, WordPress is a vehicle for making money.Freelancers can use it to build websites for clients – and charge whatever the market will allow. Developers can sell their creations as well. The past 20 years have seen the rise of a strong commercial plugin and theme market. And web hosts have tailored their services around it.This also means that starting a freelance web design business is incredibly affordable. Anyone willing to learn WordPress can begin serving clients with minimal (or even zero) monetary investment.It provides us with the opportunity to start small and evolve as needs change. How many other industries can say that?Advanced Features That Are Within Everyone's ReachWordPress helped to resurrect my career. I began using it regularly around 2010. And I was in a major rut at the time.My specialty had been hand-coded HTML and CSS. I still consider them essential skills. But I was limited in the type of websites I could build. Implementing advanced features seemed impossible.I wasn't sure where my business was going. Then I started experimenting with WordPress. In a way, it was like rediscovering my passion for web design.The software and its ecosystem allowed me to expand my capabilities. Complex functionality was no longer a pipe dream. I could enlist plugins like WooCommerce, Gravity Forms, and Advanced Custom Fields to help me build bigger and better.Suddenly, I didn't need to be a senior-level PHP or JavaScript developer. And I didn't need to turn down projects that seemed too dense. Plugins provided the main features I needed. From there, I could use the skills I had to add further customization.And my skill level also increased. Diving into more advanced projects made me curious. They put me on a path of learning that I still enjoy to this day. WordPress helped to make it possible.Part of WordPress' mission is to democratize publishing. But one can argue that it has done the same with design and development.A Community To Share Knowledge and KinshipAs software, WordPress is wonderful. But the community it inspired is even more amazing. It's something each of us benefit from.For freelancers, the WordPress community has been an invaluable resource. It has provided opportunities to connect, share, and grow.That's because community members are all-too-happy to share what they've learned. Whether it's a handy code snippet or business advice, there is so much knowledge out there.At our best, we genuinely enjoy lifting each other up. That's what makes events like WordCamps so powerful. But it's also something we see every day on social media and other platforms.Freelancing is often about individuality. We run our businesses in a way that best suits us. But the WordPress community helps to bring us together. Regardless of background, identity, or geography.For all of its faults, it's also worth remembering the good that this community has done. I think there are people from all corners of the globe that would agree.For Many Freelancers, WordPress Is a LifelineI don't have the statistics in front of me. Perhaps they don't exist. But it's safe to say that WordPress has had a major impact on freelancers.And 20 years has been a good long run. That's especially relevant in tech, where big ideas come and go all the time.Thankfully, WordPress has become something freelancers can rely on. That says a lot about the software – and even more about the people behind the project. Those that contribute in ways both official and unofficial.Milestones are a great time to look back at what was. But it's also an important reminder to never take what we have for granted.What WordPress has done for freelancers, and countless others, is worth celebrating. Let's hope for another 20 years and beyond. ★ Support this podcast ★

Rundown -    Mitch Morrissey in Craig's Lawyers' Lounge (Part 1) - 05:16   Mitch Morrissey in Craig's Lawyers' Lounge (Part 2) - 01:13:12   Troubadour Dave Gunders - 03:05:42   "A Sun Still Shining" by Dave Gunders - 03:13:29   Mitch Morrissey was elected District Attorney of Denver, Colorado for three terms from 2005-2017. Before that, he was a Denver prosecutor for decades. Craig Silverman was his supervising and training Chief Deputy DA in Denver District Courtroom 13. Stan Garnett was the other assigned Deputy DA.   Stan Garnett went on to be Boulder DA. Mitch became Denver DA. Former Denver DA (and future Governor) Bill Ritter compelled Mitch Morrissey to become the lead DNA prosecutor on the JonBenet Ramsey murder investigation. Poor JonBenet was brutalized in her own Boulder home on Christmas of 1996.   Morrissey was in the grand jury room where it happened. A Boulder grand jury voted to charge parents John and Patsy Ramsey but Boulder DA Alex Hunter still would not prosecute. Did Alex Hunter make the right decision? Mitch Morrissey reveals his input and the true impact of the DNA evidence in this case. Who killed JonBenet? And why?   John Ramsey, her father, just did a fascinating interview with Megyn Kelly. He explains how he has written to Governor Jared Polis demanding that a reputable DNA lab work on solving the crime against his daughter. This show highlights the contradiction of how Mitch Morrissey and John Ramsey describe the known sequence of events.   The autopsy and science revealed JonBenet was hit hard in the head, cracking her skull, and causing massive damage, and shallow breathing, but not death. The little girl's cause of death was strangulation by ligature caused by someone turning a garrote made of sticks from Patsy Ramsey's art supply kit.   If you care about this enduring mystery, know that this section begins about an hour in and surrounds the possibly incriminating sound out of the mouth of John Ramsey during his friendly interview with Megyn Kelly. Mitch Morrissey explains his attitude towards Boulder DA Mary Lacy's exoneration of the Ramsey parents.   Both Denver natives, host and guest reminisce initially about their three generations of Denver lawyers. We talk about Denver DA Phil Van Cise and his Deputy DA (and future Colorado Supreme Court Justice) O. Otto Moore who fought the Klan in the 1920s. Mitch's grandfather was FDR's US Attorney for Colorado and his Dad a prominent legislator.   We move to the 1980s and discuss Dale Tooley, Norm Early, Bill Ritter, Mike Kane, Mike Little, Brooke Wunnicke, Beth McCann, Chuck Lepley, Norm Brisson, Lamar Sims, Doug Jackson, Bonnie Benedetti, Tom Clinton, Henry Cooper and so many great Denver prosecutors.   Listen as Mitch Morrissey takes us behind the scenes on the Alan Berg murder case, the Darrent Williams murder case, and many other famous Denver homicides. The sentencing pendulum has swung toward leniency and Morrissey explains how we are paying the price. The past, present, and future of Denver and Colorado are discussed.   The job of a big city prosecutor is to provide public safety. It takes wisdom and experience to properly charge people accused of crimes. Morrissey spent five years doing Intake and understands smart ways to file cases.   We discuss whether the El Paso County law enforcers did a good job with respect to the Club Q massacre. Could better charging and prosecution decisions have prevented the shooter from committing his awful gun crimes? What about Red Flag Laws unenforced? We discuss capital punishment in Colorado.   This show runs the gamut with one of the most interesting and accomplished attorneys in Colorado. Craig's Lawyers' Lounge was proud to host this epic conversation with one of America's top crime fighters. Listen to the prosecutorial passion for justice in Denver DA Mitch Morrissey and enjoy.   Troubadour Dave Gunders delivers a brilliant conversation on the host's birthday. A Sun Still Shining is a gift of a song to get us through hard times, like the aftermath of violent crime, such as the Club Q shooting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dKgqTv1MAA
