Have you added widgets to a WordPress website before? If yes, how did it compare to this time?
Yes, I’m a wordpress designer. This was pretty simple to use, would be easy for clients to navigate.
How would you improve the process of adding widgets?
I prefer the existing method of drag and drop.
Why are widgets important?
It’s an easy way for clients to get their information into the site without having to require a specialist to do so.

Sign in.
Go to Appearance > Customize and add some text in a new widget at the top of the left sidebar.
Look through the widgets and pick two that you like. Add both of them to the right sidebar and say why you picked them.
Rearrange the widgets so the bio appears at the bottom of the right sidebar.
Remove all of the widgets from the left sidebar except the text you added before and one other widget you think is the most important to keep.
Verify that the updates you’ve made are visible on the site separate from the live preview in the dashboard.

If a widget is added “below the fold,” move the live preview so the widget is visible.

Next up: test version 0.15 with a few more widgets added.
