WordPress Simplified

By: Jennifer M Weiner
  • Summary

  • Hi, I’m Jennifer Weiner, your guide to de-teching WordPress. I’m going to keep it simple so those who identify as tech-challenged can run with what’s covered, one episode at a time.

    I believe we can all become good with tech, even if we hate it. We just need someone to break it down and take out all the funny words that mean nothing to the average Jane.

    You don’t need a degree or even a ton of know-how to make a nice looking WordPress site to serve your needs until you can pay someone else to do it for you.

    That’s what we’re going to cover every week right here, one piece of that WordPress puzzle. You’ll also get some biz, social media, and tools tips to help out along the way.

    Feb 4 2022

    Not sure what hosting works well for WordPress? Does trying to compare all the features and bits and bobs for the services make your eyes cross? I remember those days, and man is it annoying AF!

    In this episode, I'll share the 6 things I compare when deciding on where to host a WordPress site, where to NEVER host your site, and my top 3 picks for myself and my clients. You can see all the comparisons in this  Google Sheet. Please feel free to make a copy.

    Here are my hosting recommendations (These are affiliate links)
    1. WP Engine
    2. Flywheel
    3. NameCheap


    As always, if you enjoyed this episode or have learned something, I'd love a review on your favorite pod app.
