A client wants me to build his website. He want a WordPress one, with a tool named Elementor to let him build stuff and upgrade the website by his own.

Seriously, Wtf is this shit !? That's a pure nightmare to work with !

Yep.. At that point why hire someone if there looking to do it themselves anyway?

At that point you're not a website dev, you're a hosting company.

If you host your clients websites (one path to insanity) then just do a blank wordpress install, install the plugin and let the client have at it.

In the hosting fees, charge exhorbitant hourly rates (minimum charge 1hr as soon as they contact you) for the inevitable "can you fix my fuckup", "can you show me how to do X", "can you restore from backup", "can you tweak my design" etc

Alternatively, offer to build the site for them for your normal rate

@Wesley To me, that’s the milk and honey client you are describing. It’s a pretty common request. I am not sure what the problem is?

There has to be more to this than you have described. If not, just set them up with what they requested and charge accordingly. If they need more than that, charge accordingly.

It even sounds evil... Say it with me in your best evil voice. Elementorrrrr

The hackingvision.com website uses (or used to anyway, not sure if it still does) WordPress and Elementor for writing posts as well. And of course the site owner having a mentality to do everything in plugins didn't help either... I think I've still got administrative access to it, but that thing was a complete clusterfuck. Think Facebook level bloat and then raise that to at least ^2. I hope you'll be able to let the client do the blogging because it's a nerve-wracking experience...
