Pro bono work is fun and rewarding. It is also a great way to level up your WordPress prowess and reputation, either as a freelance developer or as part of a digital agency. When you give back to society, you receive back as much, if not more.

In this talk, you will find real world examples of pro bono dev projects I’ve done over the years, how they solve different set of problems for the beneficiaries, and how they level up my skill set as a web designer and developer. I will also share some of the other good things I’ve gained by doing it, and it’s not just about having a better-looking portofolio.

So, whether you’re a seasoned pro or just a starting out WordPress professional, you’ll probably end up having plenty of good reasons to do pro bono work from time to time for the personal, professional and social benefits it brings.
