There are so many people who themselves need help and become consultants and experts and misled other people and give incorrect or outdated information to the people who come to them for help. This happens because the so called consultants don’t know the correct answer and moreover they don’t want to admit it. In WordPress world, this is something which no one likes. So much of lies, myths, untruths and false information about WordPress is fed to the business owners which is creating false beliefs in these people. So many people around the world love WordPress and they have built many of their websites using WordPress and they love it as it allows them to have total control over their website. They themselves can manage, edit and update their WordPress website even if they don’t have expert technical knowledge.
But this thing also has a negative aspect as now anyone can open a hosting account, install a theme and create a custom header and start calling themselves a WordPress Consultant or a WordPress designer. There are also people who call themselves WordPress developers although they don’t know PHP. Have you ever thought why this is happening? This is because WordPress is in high demand from entrepreneurs who want to start online businesses. And for some, this means easy and fast cash.
Ofcourse, we are witnessing a boom in the number of WordPress consultants, WordPress designers and developers but all of them are not qualified and many of them don’t even understand how WordPress works at its core. But it is also truth that on internet you can find so many types of WordPress services like designing, coding, theme customization, plugin development or maintenance. Many new clients really had bad experience when they hired some of these so called WordPress consultants. Some even had lost thousands of dollars in this process. That’s why people become frustrated as they don’t know that the consultant with whom they are dealing is not the right person to do so.
