Hey Guys,
Today I’m going to be demoing a template-based WordPress site here. So let’s check it out.
(refreshes page, numbers roll and eventually stop, highlights Engineering and Founders programs)
This is a 501C3 nonprofit. It’s an international tech charity. They have two main aspects here. It’s the Engineering program and the Founders program.
(scrolls down to the bottom of page, shows it is an 8-week course)
So what they do is they train engineers in Africa, specifically Nigeria during an eight-week course, and during that eight-week course. They learn a bunch of skills related to programming, deliver a bunch of features in an entrepreneur’s web application. So essentially it pairs them together and then by the end of it there should be an MVP app.
(goes towards the bottom of page, highlights interactivity and animations)
As you can see there is a lot of pre-built interactivity that comes up, a lot of animations and templates are a really great value for a business owner or someone who wants to get an 80% done website and just load in some content.
(scrolling up and down, comes upon a picture of self)
There’s a lot that you can do with it, they are pre-built out. The one downside is they can be kind of heavy as far as load times because there is so much included in them, but if we check out this site a bit more, we can see surprise surprise! I actually helped start this charity, but I just want to go through and show some pages and things like that. Let’s check it out.
(screen changes to page with cards and photos of team members)
So I have these cards that are in here and then you have these hover-links that you can go through. This card style is something that is throughout the template. These are essentially components, WordPress components, and you can see that throughout.
(selects Partners, continues explaining as he pages around)
Let’s find another one, Say Partners for example. You can see that it’s a good look I think. I think it works. But I just wanted to demo this guys, because there is a lot of potential for business owners here to be successful using just a template-based website. It allows for a lower budget overall. I think it’s good to start with the templates a lot of the time and then go from there because building out from scratch takes so long unless you have a really custom build on the foundation, it makes sense to use a template as a base and just change things up, optimize it, things like that.
(hovers over web address)
So just check it out. If you want to see this website it’s enye.tech. Also if you want to hire any of these remote engineers, they have very good rates, naturally, being in Nigeria. So if you are into international workforces, kind of like, off-shore international. This may be a good option if you are able to provide oversight and management and allow them to grow on your team.
(brings back to the main page)
So cool! Alright, guys that’s pretty much it and all I have to say is check out some template-based websites because they are a fantastic value for the dollar amount. For anyone starting a business, that is needed. Just hire a web developer, get a template in, get them to do some customizations.
And what is Chris saying? Ahh, I don’t know but I think we were having a funny conversation about something. Close that out. Alright guys, have a good one. Bye.
