When a client approaches an individual or company to build them a new or upgrade their old site to WordPress they expect the person doing the work to know exactly what they are doing, right?. I mean you wouldn’t take your car to be repaired at the local grocery store by a worker who isn’t a mechanic but has read a few tutorials online in their free time.
Unfortunately this is exactly what is happening to some unfortunate people within the WordPress eco-system who are making bad decisions on who they hire to build their new but in the end not so awesome website for them.
