At Black Cap, we regularly get questions from clients like “what’s involved in getting a website project rolling?”, “what do you need from me?”, and “what’s better – a custom-built CMS or an open source CMS like WordPress?”. So, we were excited to find this great webinar – because it covers these questions and many more. The presenter takes a common sense approach, using plain language…no technical jargon!
When we first listened (it’s audio with PowerPoint) we wondered if the speaker’s points would still be relevant given that it dates back to 2009 – and were impressed with how relevant and accurate the material is. This guy knows his stuff!
