 I’m curious how other WordPress developers/designers handle the moment when you hand over a completed site to a new owner.

·         Do you walk them through everything live?

·         Send written instructions?

·         Just hand over the credentials and wish them luck?

·         Anything else?

The reason I ask is I’ve seen where the new website owners have no clue what to do. Their only recourse is to contact the designer/developer and ask a bunch of questions…

To aid in the process, I'm working on something called a "Handoff Kit" — a co-branded resource package a designer can give every client at project completion. 

Think: a plain-English glossary of WordPress terms, a maintenance checklist, a conversation guide with the 10 questions every new owner should ask before the designer signs off, and a simple sign-off sheet both parties initial.

Feel free to answer a few questions:

• Do you currently have any kind of formal handoff process, or is it more informal?
• Do your clients come back to you with basic maintenance questions after launch, and does that eat your time?
• Would something like a ready-made, co-branded handoff kit be useful to you, or is this a problem you've already solved?
• What's the ONE thing you wish new website owners understood before you handed over the keys?

I’m not selling, am genuinely trying to understand whether this is a real gap, or a solution looking for a problem.

Appreciate any honest feedback.

Thanks.

Other than the basic green felt/cloth colors, what other colors would you find in a pool hall?

I've seen gray, electric blue, and green...

What colors would you prefer to play on, and which colors do you prefer?

Personally, I had never seen a gray table cloth, and i really liked that color, so when I got my table, I wanted the gray. I have championship cloth, don't recall which blend, will ask my pool table guy.

I played at the OX Billiards in Seattle. They have 9 foot Rasson tables with gray felt. They provided gray chalk to use on their tables.

When I saw that gray color, I knew I wanted that color.

What color table cloth (and brand) do you like playing on?

If you had the opportunity to open a small pool hall, say 2800 sq ft. How may tables could you respectably have, and what size tables would the be?

For example, one 9ft, four 7ft and two 8ft valley.

What would you want in your pool hall, provide the reasons why you chose those options.

Let's say you are in a pool league that plays on 8ft tables, yet when going to league playoff tournaments (APA/BCA) you end up playing on 7ft tables.

Having 8ft tables (2) creates room to add two new teams to the division.

What are your thoughts?

I have trouble doing any type of squats more due to fear of blowing out my knees. Lunges are hard for the same reason.

What does a proper basic squat position look like? I think I might be doing them incorrectly because Im trying to not hurt my knees...and my body posture might not be correct.

Has anyone every had problems with starting to do squats?

Oh, Im starting a new workout plan to lose weight and being heavy has made doing certain exercises more difficult, which I know will become easier the longer I do them and continue to lose weight and build up my strength without bulking up.

If you have any suggestions on proper squat placement, tips on easing into a squat (aided by holding a rail or countertop, etc) they would be appreciated.

As new Mods, its important that we utilize the tools provided us. One of these tools coming uo is the BootCamp.

Who is going/not going, why or why not?

Our APA fall session begins the week of Aug 30th - Sept 3rd. (We play on Sundays). We just learned that we will be using the APA scorekeeper app.

I've seen the videos on how to use the scorekeeper, yet there are some unanswered questions.

Who keeps score, is the player responsible for keeping track of their own match?

I can see where this may be an issue when it comes to keeping track of who hits which ball i 9ball.

For those of you who have used this app, please share your findings.

Did you like it better or worse than writing it down on the paper scoresheets?

Did using this app extend the time it takes to select players for each match?

The coin flip aspect, that's cool.

Who chooses who plays in each match, how is that determined?

I didn't see that explained in the videos.

And finally, do you like using the app better than the paper scoresheets?

Thanks...

Mount Vernon night time sky

Had left the house for a store run, when I saw the sky lit up in this color. This was so wide spread across the area, I had to find the source. I came upon this area and snapped this picture. What I learned later was this lighting color was allegedly used for growing pot....someone had left the lights on...

I was wondering about those who have gone through actual training to become certified pool instructors.

Has anyone gone through a certification process?

Is there a difference between those who play and share their knowledge, and those who become certified?

What are your thoughts on the matter?

I changed to MailerLite from AWeber a few months ago, and I'm still having issues with validating my website email.

Can anyone explain this for me, walk me through, maybe? I validated one, yet cannot seems to validate any more emails.

Or is there a limit to the free version?

What can you tell me?

Thanks!

This is an inquiry post for WordPress websites. I'm working on a 'Hand-Off Guide' to make the transition between web designers and new WordPress website owners easier.

For you Web Designers: when you sign off on a website with a new website owner, how do you prepare them for running/maintaining their website?

Do you offer them a baseline for being able to contact you for any help they may need?

Anything else you might provide them with once you've signed off on the project?

And for you new WordPress website owners, what questions do you have once you've received your new website?

Please comment below with your thoughts, as a designer and/or new website owner.

What question are NOT asked, yet really need to be asked?

How can the new website owner prepare themselves to be ready to run/maintain their website?

What are some of the questions YOU wanted to ask but didn't, for whatever reason.

I appreciate your comments.

A while back I posted asking people in the r/Wordpress community what their top 5 issues were with images on WordPress. A lot of folks said the same thing, they wished they could actually organize their media library.

As a photographer, I understood that frustration. It was difficult to find certain images , especially if I had renamed them. I couldn't locate them with a search, and had to losd images to view entire gallery.

So I built something to fix it.

It's a lightweight zip folder that adds a 5-folder virtual file tree plus bulk organization tools to your Media Library, without changing how the media library actually works.

Nothing gets moved on your server, no filesystem changes. Your existing images just start in an "Uncategorized" folder, and you sort them from there.

You install the zip folder to your plugin library like you would with any zip upload, (Plugins > Add New > Upload). When you activate, the folder sidebar shows up right in your Media Library.

I’ve been freelancing a while, and the places we're supposed to network in are kind of broken. LinkedIn's a performance. The big subs and Discords get flooded with spam, recruiters, and scammers. The marketplaces treat you like a vendor, etc.

 So, I was wondering what other freelancers thought. What would you do to improve you online experiences as a freelancer?

Am I the only one, or are there some of you who are looking or needing something different?

On 3/22/26/ A gold ring was found in the lower unisex restroom on the 1:30pm ferry from Bremerton to Seattle.

Edited-4/28/26

The ring displays the figure (Our Lady of Guadalupe), with white/clear, red and green gem chips around the face of ring.

The size is about a 5 or 6, a woman's size or teenager.
