    For the first time, I'm thinking of bidding in on a wordpress project solo, slightly unsure.

    It's a small local group who are in need of a dev. & designer, to bring to strip out a new theme. Their content isn't robust, however they need someone for on going bug fixes and what have you. I've been playing with WP for about a year after a hiring a bad dev. I let em go and took care of the tweaks and what not. Should I be honest and let them know that i'm a bit of a newbie or learn as much as i can (hire help) and wing it? I do not know PHP but know my way around WP (wanting to have more experience w/ it though)

    Thoughts, experts?

    • if you know more than the bad dev you hired, you probably know more than you give yourself credit for. I think you're in the clear. Take the job.monNom
    • I did the same a few years back - just went for it and learnt on a job - it's very easy to pick up if you have other good web knowledge.fadein11
    • I have 3 words for WP:
      Panama Papers Hack. :)      ETM
    • All software has security holes that get exploited, iOS, WP, etc. Unless you have a flat site, you must keep things updated. Panama =/ WP problem.ArmandoEstrada
    • Ane exploit can come from a web server, database server, etc. Keeping things up to date is crucial. Panama was neglect.ArmandoEstrada
    • Neglect is the anthem for MANY WP installs out there, however.ETM
    • Let you all know if I win the bid :D Feels like I will... thanks for the vote of confidence!bklyndroobeki
