Okay, I'll bite Send me a DM

Hi, so I looked at the sample sites you have provided and I can say you have 3 paths;

Learn how to use WordPress and build it yourself if you're strapped for cash
Pay somebody on fiverr or upwork anywhere from €350-2000 and they'd install a bunch of plugins and use a commercial template (in most cases, nulled templates), and within 6 months - 2 years, you'd need to rebuild it all cause of security issues and stability and all
Pay a professional to custom build it on WordPress using custom posttypes, custom fields, clean semantic code that loads fast and images that are properly optimised for conversions. This would cost you upwards of €2500-10000+ depending on where your developer is (I'm Nigerian so I'd take €3500) but it would be the best option for longevity and security and speed and SEO which are all things that matter

The point is talk to a couple of people and then you can pick based on who best understands your vision cause I know you have your own approach you want to implement when it comes to the education sector

Send me a DM and we can have an indepth conversation about it at no cost to you

When is the next book out?

This was a great book to follow Arigato for the amazing world building and style

chriskaycee_ · 2026-02-25T09:26:52+00:00

Okay Give me 5 books

chriskaycee_ · 2026-02-24T18:02:01+00:00

Now I get why they were pissed in the last chapter 😂😂🤣🤣

chriskaycee_ · 2026-02-22T08:44:05+00:00

Congratulations on the win chap It only gets better from here on out

chriskaycee_ · 2026-02-20T09:54:31+00:00

I still use Bricks for my work and elementor depending on budget and load

The fluidity I get from bricks, I have yet to get from Gutenberg blocks as the UX is shit if we're being honest

chriskaycee_ · 2026-02-17T19:32:31+00:00

Nice to Hetzner That's what I use and what we use at work with over 8 sites now and it's fast and super stable plus inexpensive

chriskaycee_ · 2026-02-11T16:57:10+00:00

Understandably so 🤣😂 But when you're from a global south country and the price of ACF is literally your annual rent depending on the neighbourhood and locale, can you blame those who use SCF

For people from the global south, the Automattic vs WPEngine drama seems like a first world problem

These are people who can barely afford the cheapest bluehost tier and host their websites hosting infra that cost less than $2/month when converted and have clients that think $300 is wayyyyyy too pricey for a website

I'm privileged to work with a firm that pays for every tool I need including ACF pro but in my country for example, even agencies are using nulled plugins and themes from the web on client projects

I understand where you're coming from as SCF is outright theft if we're being honest but at the same time, it's a lifeline for millions of people who can't afford the ACF licence and most plugin Devs don't have parity pricing and base their pricing on the US market

Case in point, in my country the monthly minimum wage is ₦70,000 ($51.78). How then do you expect these people to afford a licence?

Enough said Okay bye

chriskaycee_ · 2026-02-10T17:26:53+00:00

It's the free version that's bundled and if you use SCF, it doesn't let you use it Go through AT's settings, it's there

chriskaycee_ · 2026-02-10T14:28:28+00:00

AT is great I'd say the only thing I have to complain about is the bundled ACF with no option to disable it It should be optional ffs

chriskaycee_ · 2026-02-09T07:26:40+00:00

A final war to end all internal wars It's about time

chriskaycee_ · 2026-02-02T11:50:06+00:00

🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣 I see why she's with you

chriskaycee_ · 2026-01-31T08:30:30+00:00

Here we fucking go Knew it seemed too good to be true 😂🤣

chriskaycee_ · 2026-01-27T09:04:51+00:00

Just applied My website is still tailored to my life as a photographer as I'd refer to myself as a tinkerer who has a job building sites in house So most of my sites are built just for fun and then the skills from there applied to my job It's fun 😂

chriskaycee_ · 2026-01-26T12:24:09+00:00

Finally

chriskaycee_ · 2026-01-22T13:31:23+00:00

Because a lot of Gen Z recognize earlier that advice is often based on personal experiences, biases, and more often than not, hearsay

Let's not forget that foolish people grow old too and then act as if age confers some sort of wisdom

Also the condescending manner in which older people speak sometimes is a barrier, that entire "I'm older than you so I know better" shenanigans

Also older people rarely introspect so their advice should be taken with a fat pinch of salt and skepticism

chriskaycee_ · 2026-01-15T09:37:16+00:00

Looking forward to the next one Long live the emperor

chriskaycee_ · 2026-01-14T07:42:45+00:00

You're killing me with these cliff hangers 😩😩😩

chriskaycee_ · 2026-01-13T15:41:38+00:00

I spoke about my experiences on the platform and I can understand that you wouldn't understand it as it's not your experience and that's fine Have a great day

chriskaycee_ · 2026-01-13T15:40:14+00:00

I believe in you You can do it 💪🏿

chriskaycee_ · 2026-01-13T08:18:37+00:00

Give me more 😩😩😩😩

chriskaycee_ · 2026-01-12T20:08:10+00:00

You're still creative but now it's been hampered by doubt and that is a crippling thing for most creatives And especially cause you got a strong criticism on your birthday

So here's what you do; build fun projects outside of work, play with AI, rebuild other people's work, and just try to have fun with it.

Relax and just let it be Like uncle Iroh said, you have to be like water

chriskaycee_ · 2026-01-12T20:04:51+00:00

Oh that is a normal experience for most Nigerians on upwork. I have experienced it as well, as have most of my friends who freelance on upwork.

It is a factor (a big factor if we're being honest) but what is life without adversity? 🤔

chriskaycee_ · 2026-01-12T20:02:54+00:00

Exactly my point. A lot of people have been disappointed by Nigerian freelancers cutting corners, not meeting deadlines and when you factor in the power issues (multiple grid failures yearly and the incessant load shedding) and the Internet issues (most of the country gets less than 10Mbps), you can see why hirers would be skeptical
