WPWeekly Episode 179 – Interview With James Laws, Co-founder of WP Ninjas

In this episode of WordPress Weekly, Marcus Couch and I are joined by the co-founder of WP Ninjas, James Laws. WP Ninjas specializes in WordPress plugins such as Ninjas Forms and Ninja Demo.

In the show, Laws explains the origins of the business and why he decided to enter the forms market despite GravityForms being a popular choice among WordPress developers. He shares some of the mistakes he made early on such as competing based on price and offering a one time purchase price. Near the end of the interview, we find out what the future holds for both products.
