I had a good shower idea. You know, those ideas that flit into your head but don’t often linger around too long. Well, I had this one idea and decided to run with it, but I gave myself just the weekend to make it happen. I also have a newborn baby, so my weekends now don’t really look like they used to, but I gave it a go. [ 1,592 more word ]

I’m going to talk about lessons learnt building a WordPress product. This article expands upon my last WordCamp talk. Both my products are SaaS and both are built on WordPress.

The best place to start when looking for a new website is your brief. I've written an eBook that can help you write a good specification and get a website that can grow your business. Sometimes this is called a Specification or spec or even a blueprint. It's a guide for your designers and developers to use to determine how to get you a finished product that does what you need it to do and within your budget. [ 261 more words ]

To operate the business model you will also need to martial your resources and action processes. Your specification needs to outline these items too. The resources and processes are the glue that keeps your business working. If the business model is the machine, your resources and processes let you turn the handle that powers the machine.
