- 20:01 For years I have primarily used ExpressionEngine as my CMS of choice. While I still love EE, it isn't right for every project, so I am looking to brush up on my Wordpress chops. Do you have any recommendations on a few sites or other online resources that you use to keep on top of WP developments?
- 25:04 Is Wordpress usually the best CMS to use for client work? Are there better alternatives out there?
- 41:58 When you're just beginning a new design - when that completely blank Photoshop canvas is staring back at you - what is your thought process like?
- 49:22 As a business owner, freelance creative who works from home, I often have trouble balancing my work life with my family life. Can you offer insight on how you balance work life and family life?
