Remember Your Client

Imagine you're building a car.

Your focus is probably on these things;

  • I want it to drive well
  • I want it to look great
  • I want it to be comfortable

But are these things also important to you?

  • I want it to last a long time
  • I want it to be easy & cost-effective to maintain
  • I want it to be fuel-efficient
  • I want it to be able to adapt to my future needs

Manageability Matters

Whether you're administering this site yourself, or you client is updating it through the Editor, you need to carefully consider how that process will work.

If you make it complex, confusing, and fragile, your client probably won't like what you've delivered.

And they might not like you much either.
