They have some kind of web based Platform or website that integrates with that primary management system same concepts apply Maybe it don't use PHP in my sequel But it use similar technology where you just learn a syntax and you'll be going so the knowledge that you'll learn from wordpress Translate to other web development applications as well Fun fact before I go into the details guys PHP is a really good language to learn first along with Python add my sequel or My sequel to that mix you're ready to go guys.

As far as just becoming a wordpress developer, what are your concerns? All that below so we can start a conversation and I can help Lead you guys in the right direction that means that guys I Leverage wordpress for years if you don't take away anything from this video is wordpress is 25% of the website side there So that being said, there's gonna be a built-in demand for What you guys are getting wrong is is what type of projects is with that man? You think you just gonna come in and just really rewrite wordpress or rewrite modules just completely from scratch That's not the case here wordpress is mature. You got a lot of plugins You got a lot of top developers. So a lot of the work is gonna be integration work with different systems It could be your management system accounting marketing sales Got a lot of options there. That's where the big bucks is as far as wordpress development You can still do some work on the The theme side and even the plug-in side I will highly recommend you guys to kind of look at different market different niches I had a client the other day was wanting to do some tracking on their website as far as just When they're when the clients are different prospects actually go to a website They want to prioritize them and know who to contact first because they got this a large library of Prospects that they have to call and they want to prioritize that based off of who came to their website who? More likely to buy wet web pages and all that stuff And we created something really good solution for them and it was driven off wordpress and JavaScript and Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager a lot of stuff out of the box You guys can learn millions of companies have that particularly need you just got to explain the value of it and how Translate to their industry knowledge. That's the kind of stuff that's gonna get you ahead guys And what I normally tell you guys I talk about that in my seven-step guide If you don't if you haven't go ahead and get that that's gonna help you guys really take things to the next level guys on that deal So if you don't take anything away from this video the one thing I will tell you guys is yes Wordpress is in demand the low-hanging fruit stuff has dried up for the most part Hey, I need to set up a brand new wordpress site and you come in designer. Yeah, there are some opportunities out there But it's not as much as it used to be because people who wanted a wordpress website more than likely got one Maybe it's outdated. Maybe it need to be updated Maybe they need to make some changes to it to get it up to date So they move faster from a performance standpoint, but they already have something established And you guys can come in and add value on the integration side Maybe some plug-in work from here and here things, you know, they may have me personally Unless a client have a specific need for a custom theme There you have enough theme companies out there that you can find what you want at least 80% And then you call the other 20 do a Sub theme or or something like that. That's just my opinion You know, some of you guys just love being in the weeds love doing development. I'm trying to save my my time I'm not trying to reinvent wheel. That's just a strategy of mine.
