  • Michael Dance: Gutenberg for Site Developers

    WordCamp Philadelphia 2018Speaker: Michael Dance

    December 6, 2018 — Gutenberg is great for bloggers who want better publishing tools, but what about developers who need to craft customized CMS experiences for their clients? If you use a lot of custom fields and are horrified at the idea of giving clients any design control, this session is for you. We’ll talk about:

    when to use Gutenberg, and when not to;
    what should be a block, and what should stay a custom field;
    how to limit a client’s color and text options;
    the magic of block templates and block locking;
    and how your theme development will change.
    Now is the chance to create new site building best practices and drive the evolution of block editing. Let’s get excited for what’s possible!

  • Tara Claeys: Making Friends with the Inspector – How Non-Developers Can Harmlessly Dig into Code for the 1st Time

    WordCamp Philadelphia 2018Speaker: Tara Claeys

    December 6, 2018 — When I started learning and playing with CSS, I didn’t know how to use the browser inspector (I use Chrome). The first time someone showed me how to use the Inspector, I was hooked on “playing” with code and learning how css properties relate to each other.

    In this talk, we’ll focus on debugging tools in the Inspector for non-developers. We’ll play with the Inspector to edit some CSS on “live” websites without actually editing the code. We’ll discuss ways to make the most of using the inspector to save time in development by visualizing changes on the front end before editing the code in the style sheet. This talk will also be helpful for designers who want to give developers specific edits, such as font size, padding and margins.

    December 6, 2018 — How many times have you had to wrestle with clients to pull out the website copy you need to complete their website?

    You don’t have to be a Founding Father or a Madison Avenue whiz kid to write copy that connects the facts of the business to the needs of the customer. What you do need is an awareness of the key building blocks of effective copy: persuasive writing, the customer persona, and buying journey. In this session we will take examples of basic copy and whip them into winning website copy. Not only will you get a booster shot for your own writing skills, you will walk away with powerful tools to create a more successful website.

  • Laura Strader: Designing a Conversation – An Intro to UX Writing and Conversational Microcopy

    WordCamp Philadelphia 2018Speaker: Laura Strader

    December 5, 2018 — We’re all humans, right? The primary way we exchange information with each other is by having a conversation and that’s what users expect from websites and apps. They want to know the how and why when they’re asked to give up valuable personal information. Everything from lead forms to loading screens are a part of the conversation and should be answering those questions. And just like a conversation, the flow of information is expected to go both ways.

    In this talk, we’ll discuss the art of designing the words people see when they interact with software and how to craft a genuine conversation with your users.
