Interview with Shawn DeWolfe: Share Cluster plugin


Listen Later

Shawn DeWolfe, co-founder of ThoseDeWolfes Creative, reaches his hand into both the WordPress and Drupal “cookie jars” depending on the nature of the project he’s working on.

With WordPress, you get the illusion that you can do something complex real fast.

In early July 2014, Shawn released his product Share Cluster plugin into the WordPress repository and also offers a premium version, Share Cluster Prime. Listen to this interview to learn why Shawn thought WordPress was the right choice for his plugin instead of creating it as a Drupal module and why sometimes using an off-the-shelf system is a wiser choice even when you have the experience to build something from scratch.
