  • Vanderlei Dagostim Junior: Criando um site WordPress 100% personalizado, 100 programação e 100 custo

    WordCamp Porto Alegre 2019Speaker: Vanderlei Dagostim Junior

    August 5, 2019 — A palestra (que é mais voltada para webdesigners que não gostam de programação, que querem utilizá-la o menos possível, ou que gostam apenas de se dedicar ao visual/diagramação/layout) visa abordar a utilização combinada de 4 plugins :

    Elementor, Anywhere Elementor, Quadmenu e WPForms e 1 tema (Eletheme) na construção de um site que exija apenas o conhecimento de quem vai utilizá-los, sem que seja necessário tirar nenhum tostão do bolso, possibilitando a criação de sites de baixo custo mas que nem por isso deixam de ser interessantes.

    Além do mais, é importante destacar também que os plugins Elementor, Quadmenu e WPForms possuem as suas versões “Premium”, porém, os recursos apresentados serão os que constam nas versões gratuitas, sendo que nenhuma atividade ilegal será incentivada.

    Acredito que também seja importante destacar que alguns outros plugins podem também ser citados, todos eles, sendo parte da biblioteca de plugins do WordPress e total ou parcialmente gratuitos.
