WordPress is in a tricky spot…and while still over 43% of websites on the internet use it, other platforms and builders are picking up steam and gaining in market share.
My big questions are:

  • Has WordPress reached it’s potential?
  • Is WP just for old dudes?
  • Will Gutenberg (aka the block editor) EVER improve?
  • Do people care more about WordPress or their page builder of choice?
  • Is the WordPress leadership team secretly a commune outside San Fran?

All of that and more is covered in this episode with repeat guest Kevin Geary.
Kevin has been on the leading edge of making products for WordPress which help designers build faster, best practice sites that are focused on maintainability and sustainability.
His new venture etchwp.com has loads of potential to not only rival and overtake the cumbersome native block editor, but many page builders as well.
If you know Kevin, you know there’s no fluff, no hiding opinions or stepping around honest thoughts. I always love talking to folks who are 100% transparent and that’s what you should expect in this one.
