Betterify WordPress plugin
A couple months back, some WP pals and I were sitting around at a WordCamp after party and chatting about supporting plugins and other related topics. My friend Justin has a premium plugin that he sells and was remarking on the fact that a number of his customers were consistently making feature requests…for features they already had. […]

The Best WordPress Forms Plugin
There really doesn’t seem to be much contention on this topic. Gravity Forms. Duh. Gravity Forms is an amazing WordPress plugin for generating forms, especially complicated ones.
