Questions:
- Given the huge growth of page builders now, it would be interesting to tackle the question that one can sometimes get – well, maybe not really a question, more of a comment with a skeptically-raised eyebrow, of “You’re using a page builder?” And I’ve had that both from individual clients who pretty much wouldn’t know one end of WordPress from the other, and as part of contract jobs where they do. -Vaughn Simons

Questions
- Here's one that's been bothering me lately: if I have several ongoing projects at once, how do I divide up my time? The work requires enough concentration that I lose a lot of productivity if I try to work on multiple projects in the same day, and sometimes in the same week. Do I tell the clients “Okay, YOU get the first week of the month, the next person gets the second week,” or what? Plus of course, they all have urgent issues at the same time It's not made easier by the fact that I have unpredictable health issues that throw me off schedule. – Sally Goetsch

Questions:
- This is about theme building. I’m wondering whether I’ll need a paid license for using scripts like fancybox if I’m submitting a free theme to WordPress. Probably no for free themes? Then, what if someone using this free theme with fancybox built-in is trying to sell something on the site? Is it the site owner’s responsibility to pay for fancybox license?
- What is the biggest question relating to WordPress or the web or your work that you are struggling with right now? aking sure sites are ready for Gutenberg.

Questions
- I work with mostly larger organizations, and I'd love to get more business from other departments. But this has been difficult. People can be very proprietary about their contractors (ex. had a client tell me she wasn't referring me to another department for additional work because: “I don't want XYZ team using up all your time!”). Other times, the org knows me for only one specific skill. ~ Emily Patterson
