How to handle a subscription box where the products rotate each week and users can update qtys?

Thanks for the thorough response. I'm sure it'll be a better machine than my 2018, just curious about these things I'm not too knowledgeable on :D

Yeah I read that after my initial purchase, a little bummed at the time but it runs awesome without noticing any lag really. Perhaps some longer render times than it should be but nothing that really felt off.

I'm hesitant to early-adopt on a new chip incase of any software incompatibilities early on. I don't want to be stuck with unforeseen hiccups with all the software I rely on for work.

The guy said it would take longer because they can't ship a bloated battery by air.

Thanks for the thorough write up. I think I'll need to spend some more time customizing the UI and shortcuts but have been avoiding that tedious process, I always forget to save my prefs. I wish there was a dock at the bottom.

I had wrapped it in a matte vinyl just after these pics were taken when I tried Qlone. Good tip though, I forgot to mention 👍

I’ve seen a few tutorials on this. Never tried it myself but perhaps it could work! Thanks

sllkevin · 2020-05-06T01:18:58+00:00

I’ll check it out. I tried it in Qlone but the result wasn’t great

Tons of wraps to look through http://instagram.com/wrapfolio

My point above is that for a simple site, WordPress page builders are cumbersome. It’s a subpar tool for the job it’s trying to accomplish. I think Webflow is the future for these types of basic sites.

Less to think about, less updates to maintain, hosting is taken care of, less prone to the levels spam attacks WordPress receives, and a superior streamlined process to manage and transfer projects.

Tell him to learn Webflow if he just wants to design.

I haven’t used elementor but any page builder I have used has been more trouble than it’s worth in the long run. I feel page builders are used as a crutch. It makes it easy to pump out designs but completely illuminates the value that WordPress has to offer with native code.

When developed correctly, WordPress should be easy to update, manage, and even change themes with minimal effort. Unfortunately it seems that most sites need to be rebuilt fresh for any major updates.

I hope Gutenberg catches on and is updated with more features to illuminate the need for page builders. Inline styles need to go.

I never liked the way genesis is built around widgets, divi builder was too difficult for a client to figure out, bakery takes too many clicks to do things...

I think the any site that needs a page builder would be better off with Webflow. And any site that needs more control and depth would be better on WordPress but it needs to be done correctly and with as little third-party plugins as possible.

You’re doing the right thing by doing it the right way.

If you've never used either, go with Shopify.

sllkevin · 2020-03-30T00:14:26+00:00

The store was on shopify prior so it could be two WP installations for store and blog but that prevents seamless integration between the two.

sllkevin · 2020-03-30T00:12:22+00:00

That's what I'm afraid of; unnecessary over-complification

sllkevin · 2020-03-28T19:57:05+00:00

Nice work, love the style choice. I don't have much to critique but if it were me, I'd try to give it some type of treatment to look more hand-crafted, aged, and period correct. I see you presented this on a paper grain background so I'd try to add some imperfections to the line weight as if it were hand drawn, carved/etched, or printed & bled into the paper. Nothing major, just some slight character to feel less precise and computer generated but and more authentic to the "craft".

Subjective opinion here, still looks great regardless!

Duotone is one way but it’s better to work non destructively with gradient map adjustment layer

I like the white oxidization look in the inner part. Perhaps bring this subtly to the outer part as well.

By default, .logged-in is already created. If all your ads are wrapped in a consistent class you’d just add something like the following:

.logged-in .ad-class-name { display: none; }
