When I wrote a post for Enterprise Nation yesterday, Make your own website in 5 minutes flat, I may have written myself out of a job!

I'm a web designer and use WordPress as a foundation when I build websites for my clients. In my article yesterday, I made it fairly easy for people to use WordPress to build a basic website - and cut out the middle man at the same time.

Of course, it's the 'middle man' - in this instance, me - who'll build something a bit more bespoke, so I'm not really worried. But I am thinking, if you're a web designer, what are some of your secrets?

• If you use WordPress, what are your favourite plugins?


• Do you use themes or templates? Where do you find them?


• What software do you use - to build the site, provide services like email marketing, etc.?

The topic could be really useful - for home based web designers or home business owners who do it themselves.

So, click here to visit the Technology forum and share your secrets. You might help a fellow web designer, a home business, or a potential customer...
