We interview Devin Walker, Founder of WordImpress, the makers of the GiveWP Plugin, as well as Maps Builder Pro, WooCommerce Quick Checkout, and a variety of review plugins.

Devin talks about what's next for the GiveWP plugin, working with a team at WordImpress, why documentation is important, and prioritizing feature requests for a hit plugin.

Devin discusses the origins of the GiveWP plugin, and what recurring client requests led to its development.

GiveWP is the premier donation plugin for WordPress on the market today.

Devin also speaks on resisting the urge to turn a plugin into something it is not.

Devin also discusses developing a Yelp review plugin for restaurants in San Diego, and expanding into similar widget plugins for Google, Facebok, and YP reviews. These led Devin to expand into larger plugins, Maps Builder Pro, and GiveWP.

Why have we decided to talk about this subject? Well, a lot of users of WordPress are small business owners who have physical businesses or have a joint set-up of local business and e-commerce online presence and are using WordPress to build their company's website.

However, for you the small business owner to get any real value from your WordPress powered website it's got to show up in Google local search. Unfortunately, I see so many small business owners making a lot of fundamental mistakes when it comes to getting their WordPress optimized for Google local search.
