“Client loves his site and I love Headway Themes”

I received this from one of our Headway Themes user yesterday in our forums. They gave me permission to reprint it here too.

Client loves his site and I love Headway Themes

I have just finished a client site using Headway 2.0.8. It is at Federal Workers Compensation Consultants.

I am new to Headway and WordPress so this project was a challenge in learning how to build a site using them both for the first time but thanks to the information here, on the the other users’ tutorial sites (thanks, everybody!), and some messing around, I got through it. I am loving the WordPress-Headway combination. For those who, like me, are new and maybe getting a bit frustrated learning to use this theme, don’t give up! You *can* do it. If you keep at it for a bit, you will get to where you want to be. Just don’t give up.

I started my project by messing around on my own future-but-unfinished site just to get the hang of things and after a few hours I felt adept enough at it to start the real work so I set up a development environment on my Windows XP computer using XAMMP. (Also available for Mac as MAMP)

I spent a few days working on the site until I felt it was ready to present it to the client for suggested edits and additions. But I didn’t know how to get it from my computer to the web. BackupBuddy to the rescue! I bought B.B. and, wow! It really is super simple to backup and move all the site files (intact) and restore them whole and in working order in just a few minutes. BackupBuddy is well worth the price.

The client loves his site, and I love Headway. Can’t wait to dig deeper into it. Thanks, Headway!

Thank you so much for reprinting this testimonial. I am quite the newbie, and have wanted to figure out how to create a localhost "sandbox" area so that I can learn Headway without my efforts being made public. (I'm shy.) The suggestion of MAMP was exactly what I needed to get set up in a local environment. So now I am headed full-tilt into learning the world of Headway. I'm quite excited to find exactly what I needed!

I love headway themes. It's really easy to use right out of the box. If you're like me and don't like to read tutorials or watch videos until I absolutely need them, it takes a little bit to crack the program. But once I did, wow it opened up a whole world of functionality not immediately apparent. Now I can customize the page so easily. And I even learned a little CSS to open up the functions even more.

It's a work in progress (not complete yet) but this theme is here to stay.
