    You can get some really nice themes for WP nowadays and just edit the code, layout, backend to suit what they need. But as mentioned, add time to find, learn and test those.

    Rarely will you get one where the backend is terrible, but you sometimes get issues with things not working with updated plugins etc so if possible give yourself enough time for those kind of issues.

    In terms of adapting it for what your client wants, you're going to need some understanding of code. FireBug extention/plugin for Firefox can help lots with finding what needs editing etc.

    Most importantly though, get yourself a decent terms and conditions in your emails before taking on the work. Stating that design does not include uploading all content etc unless billed for. That future issues/bugs caused by manual updates to wordpress etc can be fixed for a rate etc.

    I've been caught out a few times where you'll forget to leave out t&c's, people moaning that things don't work when they have done updates etc. Its not fun for anyone.

    • excellent notes, Sem. Plus, people always seem to forget terms so the more ironclad the better.MrAbominable
