Brent Shepherd


Welcome to the WP Elevation Podcast, Episode 28. Our featured guest this week is Brent Shepherd, a fellow Australian living in San Francisco, who is the developer of the Woo Subscriptions extension which allows you to have customers subscribe to a recurring monthly product using WooCommerce. It is a premium extension and he has built a nice company out of building this extension for WooCommerce. In this episode, you’re going to learn how Brent made the transition from a freelance web dev into a WP product company.

Show Notes
This week’s highlights include:
- WP Elevation Tip of the Week:Â Don’t write prototypes. Why not just build a rapid prototype in WordPress or use the Canvas Theme on Woo Themes to build a rapid prototype to show the client what we’re building instead of trying to explain it in words
- I asked Brent about writing proposals and he said “Well in a perfect world, you don’t want to be writing proposals because if you’re writing proposals, then you’re probably competing with other developers and it’s going to come down to price and who the customer believes is best suited for the job”
