Qualifications and experience require to start a WordPress consultancy/brand agency:
• Be a marketing/people person.
• No technical requirements required.

Hate seeing others get clients and delivering half-assed solutions and deploying outdated and even insecure versions of everything.

there are plenty of those out there.

Especially when their own website is a some flashy and slow to load with slow moving animations. Their site is nothing more than a Bootstrap demo thing, while your own website is informative and lighting fast.

let alone security issues with WP... unless youre a dev and know how to patch before launch

@amjo security. . that is an afterthought. .. I've been told

"load and old db backup if I am client gets hacked... solved. godaddy one click recovery"

I did not know if I laugh or insult that guy.

@zergioz thats really not a fail safe when you have nothing to do other than recover from backups evry now and then. it sucks really.. then u start looking for way to patch it..
ive had at least 10 people coming to me and asking to recover their sites done on wordpress, let alone not knowing what the previous developer has done :P
