December 28, 2016 — Full Title: What Happens After Launch? Becoming a Rockstar at Support, Management, and Infrastructure for WordPress

Description:
Maintenance is great for seeking a bit more life out of your dishwasher, but it’s not the right approach for you business or for your website.

Abstract:
For many agencies and freelancers, the post-launch support, updates, and minor changes that come up during the life of a WordPress-site are the most taxing, boring, and inconvenient part of the job. It’s not glamorous and rarely is there so much as a ‘thank you’ from the client.

Come find out why web infrastructure is mission-critical, how the challenges can be overcome both technically and financially, and why the term web ‘maintenance’ is completely inadequate for today’s savvy online website owners.

This session includes both practical concepts for managing version-controlled web environments with requirements for multiple web teams and philosophical arguments for why this is even a thing in the first place.

December 10, 2016 — In Episode 8 I talk about the Flow Team, which reported on the user experience of a volunteer testing the WordPress Mobile App Version 6.1 on an Android 5.1 device.

The Support Team is a good place for someone to get started helping people who have issues with their WordPress websites.

I’ll also cover the steps to develop and implement an all star customer service program. This will include the secrets to providing super service, general support standards, and how to get things right for your customers. I’ll discuss why it’s important to go the extra mile to make and keep your customers happy so that they turn into returning customers and brand ambassadors.
