If (I assume) your skills are on the coding and architecture side of things, how so you cope with the visual design side of things, for your "build me a web site" clients?

I do both, and I’m not actually super awesome at either. It turns out to be less important than many think. My design work is professional, but isn’t going to win any awards. My dev skills are pretty good within the context of WordPress - there isn’t much I haven’t done on that platform. But I’m pretty sure I’d be laughed out of the room at a Google or FB. I was a senior engineer at a BigCo but my role there was more leadership and PM than coding.

If you're open to share, why did you decide to leave the leadership/PM role for freelancing?

I desire freedom and autonomy above all else. You don’t generally get that at BigCo.

If he’s maintaining sores then maybe that’s already done.

What does maintaining sores mean?

I think “sites” fat-fingered with auto correction

You know how people keep patching things up for years without ever taking the plunge and resolving the problems?..

On a qwerty keyboard o is next to i, r is next to t.

Or he may have meant 'stores'.
