Custom HTML/CSS/JAVASCRIPT

In this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge speaks with Meeky Hwang, CEO and Co-Founder of Ndevr, a development firm specializing in high-performing WordPress solutions. Meeky shares how digital publishers can scale effectively, the "three-legged stool" framework for site success, and how to secure and optimize WordPress for high traffic and e-commerce.

The Three-Legged Stool of WordPress Success

Meeky emphasizes that a successful WordPress site rests on three foundational pillars: audience experience, editor experience, and developer experience. For site visitors, speed, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility are crucial. A seamless front-end experience keeps users engaged and ensures compliance with accessibility standards.

From an editorial standpoint, she advises leveraging the Gutenberg block editor and custom workflows to streamline publishing. An intuitive backend not only enhances productivity but also reduces content errors and improves team morale. Editors need tools that fit their workflow, not ones they must work around.

For developers, Meeky recommends maintaining a clean codebase, using version control systems like Git, and implementing continuous integration and deployment pipelines. This technical foundation supports performance, security, and scalability—especially critical for high-traffic sites. All three experiences must work in harmony for a WordPress site to perform at its best.
