Today Dave and I sit down with Phil Derksen of WP SimplePay Pro to talk through best practices in running a WordPress product business. Phil and Dave are now veterans of the WP plugin space, and now that Craig is finding his way into the WordPress dev community it’s a nice time to have this roundtable discussion.
In this episode we talk through:
- Managing developers, even when you’re not actively contributing to your codebase
- Pricing in WordPress, and how to manage support of Free vs. Paid users
- Testing for future WordPress releases and different hosting environments
- Imposter Syndrome – how do we all feel about not being the main developers on our projects
