Ep 285 – Do These Things Before Taking On A Website You Didn’t Build

Taking on a website you didn't build is like gazing at the
beautiful tip of an iceberg above the surface. At first glance, it
appears captivating and pristine, but beneath the waterline lies a

seem appealing and functional, but you never know what lies
beneath. It could be a messy code structure, outdated plugins, or a
tangled web of dependencies waiting to be unraveled. Navigating the
depths of someone else's WordPress creation requires a blend of
curiosity, expertise, and a touch of daring. You'll need to dive
deep, explore the unseen intricacies, and bring order to the chaos.
It's a journey that demands both technical prowess and a sprinkle
of magic. In this episode, the DC Panel shares their top tips for
