    Learn how to code or learn how to use WordPress?

    It's best to learn Wordpress because you'll also be learning PHP and Javascript once you start to customize it by writing your own plugins and themes. Wordpress is very powerful and you can build pretty much any kind of website with it.

    Good job! The best way to win an online argument is by calling the other person a troll and call it a day. Should have done that from the start, why even bother replying?

    Is it legal to sell modified themes?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    You're probably right and it might just be too much work to change the theme anyway. I think I'll just view the source and replicate my own version of the component I'm trying to extract. That way I also don't have to buy the theme at all and they can't claim I stole from the theme when I never...

    Is it legal to sell modified themes?

    Ok I just did some research and apparently it's completely legal because you can't copyright the look and feel of a design. You can only copyright specific components like logos, and other shapes. Since I'm not reusing any of those, I'm not doing anything illegal. But I'll do some more research...

    I don't see what's wrong about hiring me. All I'm doing is taking part of someone else's work to build my own thing, which is how everything else is built. You might even call it inspiration. Also, I'm not justifying anything. I'm simply telling the truth. Every heard about someone famous who...

    You're getting mad for no reason at all. I don't see how saving $15 is such a bad idea. Hell, if you think $15 is not much, then I'll pm you my Paypal and you can send me some worthless money. I thought that maybe someone has been doing this before or maybe someone knows something about web...

    Ok, it looks like this discussion derailed into an ethics debate. My question was whether it's legal or not. I guess nobody here knows for sure, so, let's just call it quits.

    That's what I kinda wanna do. Here's a more concrete example: Let's say I buy a theme like this: Then I have a client with different needs. I decide to edit it and it turns out like this: Another client comes to me with completely different needs again. I edit the theme and it turns out...

    I'm not talking about buying a theme and slapping it on a ton of websites. I'm talking about buying the theme, modifying it to make it unique, and then using this new version for my own work. It's not like the people who build these themes didn't do the same thing anyway. All I care in the...

    I know it breaches the terms but what I wanna know is how will Themeforest know it's the theme that I actually purchased. Basically, I will be changing pretty much everything about the theme and it won't look the same at all. I'm doing this because I wanna save time and money by avoiding to...

    Wasn't sure whether to post in this section or the legal advice one. Anyway, say I purchase a theme (standard license) on Themeforest, I tweak the design to make it look different and then use that new design on multiple websites, would this be illegal?

    It's an interesting to see it from your perspective because you would be a potential client. Yea it's really bad when devs ghost on you and I offer a contract for that reason. Basically, it makes sure that the website stays up online as long as the client is paying me and if he decides to...

    I've gotten 100's of emails and phone calls about "fixing my website" hopefully someone will actually show up at my door, and know what they're talking about, they'll have a job on the spot (maybe, depends how busy we are) Most people reach out to me, and I never call or email back. I've reached...

    I was lucky enough to have had 2 paying clients when I started but I think I focused on the wrong thing. I designed good looking websites but I didn't do anything about getting traffic and solving real business problems.

    Could use more Google Ads tutorials because they keep changing the interface. For example, the new smart mode is kinda confusing. That's what I was planning to do too. Well it's simple, I build websites and ecommerce apps for small businesses.

    I've been looking for workshops and meetups for a while now and will start attending them now that I have some spare time. Thanks for the resources Andy. I really like your YT channel as well, learned a lot about adwords.

    Great idea, I'll do that. One problem is, the businesses I'm target often have zero online presence, not even on social media. I think I'll go and approach some of them to try and learn something

    I just started working full time on my web development business and I don't have much money to spend on PPC, so I decided to go visit small businesses at their location and try to sell websites that way. The problem I can't figure out how to get past gatekeepers or how to get the owner's...
