I’m very pleased to welcome Dan Norris to this week’s Smart Passive Income Podcast. Dan is the co-founder of WP Curve, a company every WordPress user needs to hear about. [Editor’s note: WP Curve was purchased by GoDaddy in 2016.]
For a monthly fee, WP Curve gives you 24/7 access to Dan and his team for WordPress maintenance and support. They can fix a tweak gone wrong, boost traffic, and help you optimize your site to work better and faster for you and your audience.
After launching just 14 months ago, WP Curve has grown at lightning speed, and as a result of their work with WordPress users, they’ve gotten to know some of the most common problems and issues webmasters go through. In this session, we talk about those issues and how to avoid them with your WordPress-based site.
Even if you’re not on WordPress, there’s still a lot of great information to take away from this episode to improve your website experience and usability.
Thanks for Listening!
