We all need a little help getting things done on our WordPress sites sometimes. Maybe that involves hiring a designer, a developer, or maybe you want to hire someone to handle it all for you. In this discussion about best practices for hiring WordPress help, the team talks about everything from deciding when you need help to scoping a project, and the importance of putting your focus on the end user of the site, messaging, and communication. Ben and Hannah also talk a little about their family trip to the Madison Range in Montana while Kathy sweats it out in the Texas heat wave.

Unlike other platforms where you’re building your website on someone else’s property, WordPress, Kadence and Kadence Blocks are fully open source. That means whatever you build, you own.
All of the images used in Kadence Starter Templates are royalty free. You can use them in your WordPress site, or replace them easily with your own imagery.
Kadence does offer a few PRO-only starter templates, but most of our WordPress starter templates are free to use. Some of them do require other plugins. You’ll see that noted when you check them out on our site and in the Kadence Starter Template Plugin.
