    SEO WooCommerce let’s get that traffic, a use case

    WordCamp Switzerland 2023Speaker: Isaline Muelhauser

    September 20, 2023 — Every website needs traffic, right?

    A website without conversions is a bad investment for a company – and most probably means an unhappy client for you.

    What do you need to do on the tech side and what do you need to tell your client to do on the content side for a performant website in the SERPs (Search Engine Results, i.e. to get that organic traffic)?

    This talk shares a use case in the B2B industry, bilingual (FR-DE), WooCommerce with a tight budget. Ruthless prioritisation was necessary.

    You will hear the point of view of the SEO specialist, Isaline Muelhauser, whose talks are famous for their no-nonsense approach.

  • WordPress as Framework for REST-APIs, the secret Weapon

    WordPress as Framework for REST-APIs, the secret Weapon

    WordCamp Switzerland 2023Speaker: Theo Dege

    September 20, 2023 — WordPress has had an interface for a REST API since version 4.7 (2016, 7
    years) and it is still highly underrated. Why is it there and why is it so
    important? What can you do with it?

    First question, why does this interface exist?
    The interface was intended from the beginning to display WordPress on
    other sites, for example larger projects and Jamstack sites.- Mullenweg
    certainly wanted to create a way to push the concept of Open Data.- They
    probably already had the Gutenberg Block Editor in mind (WordPress 5
    (2018, 5 years)).

    Second question why is it so important?
    – Surely because of points 1 and 2 , as just mentioned to drive the Development
    for WordPress in general. And because it gets so absolutely out of its PHP
    MySQL stack, which allows us to also implement webapps with it and to
    open up new business lines, to synchronise news better or to monetarise
    press products more easily. The other use cases, wp_remote_get
    wp_remote_post , curl, telegram , twitter and interconnected things are also mind blowing, once you can see what it is capable of.

  • WordPress & Design - Et si on arrêtait de tout compliquer ?

    WordPress & Design – Et si on arrêtait de tout compliquer ?

    WordCamp Switzerland 2023Speaker: Joffrey Jochum

    September 20, 2023 — Le Design a souvent eu le rôle du parent pauvre lorsqu’on travaille sur un projet WordPress.
    Entre une mauvaise connaissance du fonctionnement de WordPress par les uns et les autres, et une mauvaise communication entre les métiers impliqués dans un projet, il est difficile pour beaucoup de concevoir qu’un projet WordPress peut être à la fois avancé techniquement, ET visuellement.

    À travers cette conférence, je propose d’explorer les sujets majeurs qui peuvent aider les créateurs de sites à prendre confiance et développer des projets dont le Design devient une force plutôt qu’une épine dans le pied :

    Préparer son projet WordPress : collaboration et cadre d’expression
    Une conception commune au service d’une production fluide
    Full Site Editing : l’avenir de la collaboration design/tech
    Ce contenu se voudra accessible, tout en étant challengeant pour encourager ceux qui n’osent pas encore se lancer dans l’aventure du WordPress Full Custom.
