In this second part we will go over the most common WordPress problems I’ve seen from our customers and how to fix them!

WordPress has been marketed as being easy-to-use and learn. And in many ways, it is! Though having worked with WordPress themes for many years now, I’ve seen a pattern of common challenges and problems people encounter. Now working on the Support Team at Artbees, I see firsthand every day what roadblocks you, our customers, are facing and I'm here to help!

We’ve often poked at our developers and designers to provide tips and tricks that we can share with our users to help them increase the performance of their themes.

WordPress is used by millions of people worldwide from across endless sectors and spectrums of experience and use. One easily overlooked and underestimated part almost every website has is the Contact Form. Think about it---usually, in order to communicate directly with your customers, your website needs a contact form--easy enough, right?

It’s been awhile since we first started our blog, however we realized after about 6 months that it wasn’t getting the attention we thought it would. No pity parties though---we’ve all had that moment in some part of our business plans when things didn’t go as planned and we knew it meant that we needed to reassess our approach right away.

When you get started running your web business it’s pretty common for you to take any client that has a pulse and money. Some people may even decide than no pulse but money is a fine trade off, but you never can account for those Walking Dead fans.

It’s becoming increasingly common for company CEOs to wear more than just their CEO hat. Particularly with startups and smaller companies, you sometimes don’t even have the luxury of staying within those boundaries; trust me, I know from personal experience.

What are your business goals for 2017? With the end of 2016 drawing near, whether you’re a one-man show running your own business or have a bigger team, now’s the time to make a conscious effort to pause and look back on the year and consider a few direct questions: What worked? What didn’t work? What lessons can be applied to their future plans for the new year?

This year Portugal hosted the 2016 Web Summit, inviting over 50,000 guests made up of CEOs, startups, investors, and leaders in the tech world. This was the largest event of its kind to be held in Europe and was chock full of opportunities to exchange ideas, creative energy and best practices.

Just last week in the Artbees hive, we barrelled right on past 100 and hit 110 templates that we now offer to our users. Having surpassed that goal we set just about a year ago, it was a surreal moment for us. Though to be honest, it was a bit anticlimactic as we briefly paused to do a celebratory jig before quickly getting back to work on the next batch of new templates.
