Hello from Canada...

Hi everyone, I have been working with the Fluent ecosystem to build custom communication and operations platforms.

My background spans 20+ years across communications, systems development, and construction, so I tend to approach things from a practical, systems-first perspective.

Looking forward to learning from others here and contributing where I can.

Hello from Canada...

William Beem

Welcome. I've been building systems for quite a while and have been using WP Manage Ninja products to help clients with their own sovereign system to get away from SaaS platforms. They've created quite a useful suite of products that work well together.

Looking forward to hearing more about what you're building.

William BeemΒ What would you say is the most number of hours you put into a v1 build, William?

William Beem

Bill MaugerΒ That's hard to say for two reasons.

1: I bill by project, not by hourly rate.

2: Most of my build projects are custom jobs, rather than just setting up a server and adding some plugins. There's the configuration of each plugin and the integration. Add in some automations/workflows depending on the client requests; it just varies from one job to the next.

What would you consider a v1 build? I keep a site on my dev server with most of the basics ready to clone over to the client, so that I can speed things up for a basic build and deploy.
