Tell us a bit about your business. How do you use WordPress?
We use WordPress to power our premium themes and build customized themes for larger media portals. We also maintain a policy “you don’t pay until you’re satisfied with the outcome”, so customers know we won’t screw them.
Why WordPress?
It’s simply the most flexible and stable CMS platform, with very well documented code.
What are your thoughts on the WordPress community as a whole? And the South African WP community?
The WordPress community is no different from other Open Source communities, but is very large, so finding answers for your WP problem is not so hard.
Who in the WordPress community inspires you? Who do you follow?
There are a lot of people who inspire me, but I’d definitely single out Matt Mullenweg, who puts a lot of effort into keeping WordPress independent.
What is the most exciting improvement to WordPress that you have noticed in the last year?
Definitely custom post types.
Where do you see WordPress 2 years from now?
Becoming a full-blown CMS system, with better custom post types control, updated media library management and better support for automatic updates of external themes & plugins.
