If you’re a conventional WordPress user with few sites to think of, then the chances are that a color picker in a theme’s Admin options panel is just a welcome time-saver that makes life a little simpler. However, for a website flipper or someone growing a large website empire of their own, a color picker can make quite a difference to productivity.
Gone is the need to repeatedly edit and upload CSS sheets until you’re either happy with the result or just prepared to settle for it – the color picker makes changes possible in seconds. This last is probably obvious, but what many website flippers fail to realise is that the little things that make life a bit easier for them will often make things a lot easier for their buyers. This in turn will make life easier for the website flipper – with less support requests from newer site owners asking how to FTP their stylesheets etc or desperately asking for help because they’ve overwritten parts of them, a startling increase productivity is possible.
It’s surprising how a seemingly minor feature can make a big difference to the bottom line.
