Now that he has reformed Dickiebirds Studio and doubled the team to four people, he feels he has more responsibility for the business to succeed and ensure consistent work for everyone under his employ.

Beaver Kit’s products are now going to be included as part of the core in the next release of Beaver Builder. Paul developed a Beaver Builder agency called Beaver Kit with it's own branding. Paul turned down the offer and instead opted to work with them on a collaborative basis. “Everyone’s always got something to offer… Whatever you put in you get back 10 times.”īeaver Builder eventually wanted to hire him to work for them. It was from this experience that he realised something that he now gives as advice to people thinking about getting involved in the WordPress community. So to his surprise, when Paul reached out to the founders of Beaver Builder at WordCamp London, they already knew about his idea and wanted to hear more! These friends had contacts at Beaver Builder and told them about Paul's project. Paul thought this was a great idea and showed it to some friends in a private Mastermind group. One of Adrian's ideas was to use CSS variables to change the global colours. When Paul began seriously devoting time to the Beaver Builder project, he hired a developer named Adrian to work on the complex, responsive design. This collaboration allowed Paul and Barna to create something that would combine the two communities and improve the possibilities for both Beaver Builder and Elementor fans. There was always drama about which platform was the best builder. “If I can change, and you can change, then everybody can change!” Rocky’s famous quote at the end speaks to the ability people have to come together. Rocky even gains the respect of the Russians. In the movie, Rocky and Ivan come from very different backgrounds and training styles, but the two end up being incredibly well matched.

Barna Buxbaum, creator of Katka by Elementor - the beginning of a beautiful friendship! The Beaver Builder Projectīarna and Paul began talking, and Barna came up with the idea to build the Beaver Builder twin of Katka. But that comment led to a creative friendship that blossomed after a WordCamp conference. One man commented with what could be called constructive criticism. One of his posts was about how he created a website using GeneratePress. In the last two years, Paul has become even more active within the WordPress community. However, he didn't properly utilise the community until around 2010. He recalls that he tried a few different programs before he landed on WordPress because of its usability and potential.
