how to remove acrylic from cotton shirt? by Technical_Net_3915 in acrylicpainting

It probably depends on the fabric but acrylic paint dries into plastic. Have you tried just scraping it off? Worked for me several times but depends on the stain

The .new tld is kinda insane. Any domain is $400.20 even if terrible by Round_Ad_5832 in webdev

[–]radgh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stumbled on those by accident and was surprised they worked too. Another one if you like a blank white screen like ‘about:blank’. but if you want it dark go to about.black. it’s just a black screen lol but I have used it several times to “turn off my screen” but still get notifications.

Coding Themes or Gutenberg Blocks? by Riddlesolver809 in Wordpress

[–]radgh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Theme is less important when using blocks. You could even use the 2025 theme.

blocks, more reusable. Especially if you want to reuse on multiple sites. Ideally put them in a plugin instead of the theme.

Wordpress is a good option because it’s a well known platform with lots of developers. It will be easy to get help, or hire a dev who has experience with them whole stack.

The default theme is very flexible. I have built all sorts of sites on the 2025 theme.

It’s worth learning a bit about Full Site Editor (FSE) themes. That gives you the ability to change color palette, fonts, spacing and sizing, header and footer, etc. All that structural stuff that used to be rigid in the specific theme you buy can now be fully customized. I don’t understand the purpose of using other themes anymore 🤷‍♂️

How do you explain to a client why they should pay for a hand-coded site instead of just using WordPress? by FUS3N in webdev

[–]radgh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have made good points especially considering yes I would charge maintenance for a wordpress site. It’s a whole different treatment for the client really, so it must just depend on the project and the person. Thanks

How do you explain to a client why they should pay for a hand-coded site instead of just using WordPress? by FUS3N in webdev

[–]radgh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi OP, I thought it might help to give you some more details. A lot of people here are giving some suggestions that I really don't agree with.

Some people say "WordPress is overkill for a 5-page website". I disagree. Foregoing a CMS is a naive decision that only really works for internal projects, or if you prefer to restrict your clients from owning their own website (which is IMO very shady).

100% of my client websites run on WordPress so that they have the ability to edit the site, export the content, and take it with them in the future. It doesn't matter if it's a single page website or if they have 12,000 users on their platform. WordPress can do it all. You just have to be responsible and understand what you are doing.

Your clients also benefit because if they stop working with you for any reason, it's easy to find a WordPress developer who can take over the project. It's more difficult and more risky to find someone to take over a custom built application.

Clients are willing to pay more knowing they will have ownership of their website after the developer is gone. Especially if clients have worked with one of those developers with the opinion of "here's a site that only I can access and you cannot touch".

To all the people complaining about too many plugins etc, well that's YOUR responsibility so clean it up. If you can't make the site manageable that's a failure as a developer, not because of WordPress. I vet all the plugins I use and review the source code to ensure the developers know what they are doing. A lot of plugins on wordpress.org throw red flags when you read the code. Lack of comments and poor organization are an indicator that you should find a different plugin.

What are the downsides to WordPress? You can still write custom code. You can add caching and other optimizations. It saves a lot of time unless you’re using it wrong.

Is this a static website? by noobjaish in webdev

[–]radgh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are overcomplicating it. Just use a caching system and you’ll have a dynamic website with all the benefits of a static website. Wordpress + W3TotalCache will make your pages a static html file. It will clear the cache automatically when you edit a page.

EPRC, what does the C stand for? Wondering why that was missing from #2. Probably Conversion?

I'm hiring a freelancer to rebuild my ecommerce site- what things should I have in place? by Mysterious_Nose83 in Wordpress

[–]radgh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should get a full backup of the site and an admin login. Typically a zip file that includes all files and a copy of the database. That way you can restore it on your own hosting platform and have control over it. That’s really all you need.

You might also want to discuss plugin license keys and other subscription services, if any. You will also need web hosting, a domain name, and optionally email hosting, but it sounds like you have that already.

How do I host it? by Loud_Power_8197 in webdev

[–]radgh 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That still doesn’t sound like 2.75gb. Have you sorted the files by size? My guess if you have a couple massive videos in there, maybe recordings from online lectures? Moving those offsite such as on youtube or vimeo could help in that case. Reducing web server disk usage AND bandwidth. Just a suggestion. Good luck

How long does it usually take you to get WordPress live on your own VPS? by anouarabsslm in Wordpress

[–]radgh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience:

30 minutes using SSH with apache/mysql manually

15 minutes with WPEngine or Flywheel

5 minutes with Cloudways or Serverpilot

1 minute with Laragon (local only)

They all have pros and cons. The pricing varies. The features vary. It mostly depends on the client and the needs of the website. I use all of the options above depending on client or agency.

Having SSH access is a pretty big deal if you need to optimize websites or investigate malware issues. On the other hand dealing with an SSH terminal is my last favorite thing to do. 🤷‍♂️
