Agreed! Bangkok I mainly met English teachers, but up here more or less every western guy I've met is a coder or marketing/website freelancer and every girl I've met is a blogger. Also Stef - This invision forum software is really nice and clean. I stay logged in (through facebook I presume), and the notifications make sense. -- Thanks for answering the question. When you say there's 4 levels, is 4 inherently more complex and desirable than 2 or 3? I'm just about ready to hit level 2, so I can concentrate on higher level business activities - increasing my knowledge, finding new clients, hiring people. My goal is to gradually become an expert in PHP + Wordpress, able to do any and all jobs which come my way, but actually doing almost none of them - just the really cool ones. My friend here has himself a developer from the Philippines, who primarily uses Divi. He's paid him $300 a month for a few years now - is this a realistic approach? Ideally, I need a guy who has a total understanding of PHP to build websites for me using Beaver builder & wordpress, but able to take on more complex jobs. My understanding of PHP isn't good enough right now to hire anybody to do more complex jobs yet - I just had to turn down a nice web app. I think I could comfortably sell $4k-6k good month (2 or 3 x $2000 or similar), and using page builders there's more than enough time - slow clients not withstanding... for $300 in labour per month, the margins there are obviously huge. What do you think of this approach? Too much of a hack, or entrepreneurial (while it lasts)? Cheers Adam

Yippee!!! That's it!!!! Stef, you're the best

Working on my entrepreneurs course. It looks like it's going to be a great course!

Hello Andrea, We are two years later, but since your website is still active, the following might be useful to you: 1) You already solved partly your problem regarding your header (from the "width" point of view, but not entirely from the "height" one). For you header div, you could use "background-size: cover;" instead of "background-size: 100%", because at the mobile width, your #dbe3f0 substitute background color for this div starts to appear as a grey horizontal strip below your background-image, which is not very beautiful. 2) Also, still at the mobile resolution, you should initally hide your navigation menu until a button is clicked, and not reveal it right away. As you still use Bootstrap in its version 3.3, this framework provides a quick and easy fix to this problem. Check out this page : http://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/javascript/#collapse But for this to work, you first need to include in your Wordpress theme both the jQuery library (which you already do) and the Bootstrap JAVASCRIPT library too, just below it, in the head section of your HTML code. Because currently, you only use the Bootstrap CSS responsive grid, but not its JavaScript capabilities. Don't worry if you didn't learn JavaScript, you wouldn't have to write a single line of JavaScript to take advantage of this feature. Then, basically, you add the following button with the following attributes: <button type="button" class="navbar-toogle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse"> <span class="icon-bar"></span> <span class="icon-bar"></span> <span class="icon-bar"></span> </button> And you add a "navbar-collapse" class to you nav div (this name must match the name of the data-target attribute of the previously inserted button): <nav class="collapse navbar-collapse"> <ul class="nav navbar-nav"> <li>Our services</li> <li>About us</li> <li>Photos</li> <li>Testimonials</li> <li>Contact Us</li> </ul> </nav>

Hi! Thailand! Lots of fun. Spent time in Bangkok and Phuket. Best chicken in the world is found in the beaches there! I see your point. Over here in Canada, people who basically sell their time are referred to as contractors. Or in French, 'travailleur autonome'. Entrepreneurs invent businesses and there is an expectation of developing an 'engine', if you will, that earns when you are NOT working. There are 4 levels of business: Sell your time - contractor. Sell other people's time. Sell a physical product that you created. Sell an idea: software, publishing etc. Stef
