November 12, 2017 — With more and more advanced integrations being possible for WooCommerce the ability to automate your online store and increase your sales productivity is only few clicks away. Automating processes like lost cart recovery, discounting, lead tracking, referral programs and reviews will have a direct impact on your ROI. With automation you can take a more hand offs approach to managing your store so you can put more focus on growing your business. In addition to having more time automation can also help you squeeze every last sale from your website with techniques such as lost cart recovery, exit intent, dynamic re-marketing and intelligent discounting.

Imagine what this could do for your business. Take the next step to growing your business and use the tools available for WooCommerce to make automation a reality.

November 12, 2017 — While there’s always discussion on how social media (our constant need for “Likes” and the consumption of superficial celebrity lives) is damaging to us – I want to take a different approach and highlight how much progress is being made to destigmatise mental health in Ireland by both our own actions and those of organisations across online channels.

I will focus on social media campaigns run by businesses & charities, the increase in mental health blogging by young people, the open sharing of emotions and discussions on mental health issues, and how all of this is actively helping individuals across the country.

November 12, 2017 — In this talk, I’d like to share the story of how our WordPress hosting team nearly broke down under its workload and how lean and agile methodologies brought us back on track. With all its interruptions and incidents, web operations work sometimes feels like having to juggle chainsaws while baking a souffle…

In 2016, freistilbox suffered heavily from our failure to keep our work in flow. Internal initiatives and feature projects got delayed more and more, in some cases by months. Then we noticed a huge drop in customer satisfaction and trust. Finally, team members started showing severe signs of burnout such as fatigue, frustration and the feeling of letting everyone down. This required quick and major changes.

In the last six months, we’ve completely overhauled how we manage our work load, and I’m happy to say we’re back on a healthy trajectory. In my talk, I’d like to share the details of what we did wrong and what got us back on track.
