For example, do you know that even the way a duck’s face points (left versus right) could increase your conversions by 40%? As a case study, one of our clients, an insurance company, increased leads by making just a small 2px change.
In this talk, we will spend some time reviewing the A/B checklist I personally use to guide you on your journey to discover what things to test, testing methodology, and the best tools to use for your clients’ sites.

June 4, 2018 — WordPress powers almost a third of the internet, making it not only powerful, but as an open source project, WordPress is a tremendous gift to all of us. So what do you do with an amazing gift like this?

Make a living from it.
Have fun with it.
Give back.
Pay it forward.
All of the above!

I make a living with WordPress, but I’m also what you might call a “serial volunteer.”
In the years that I’ve created a career with WordPress, I have also set aside time to help others through:

Mentoring
Organizing Meetups
Organizing Hackathons
WordCamp organizing and speaking
Creating WordPress classes and clinics
Setting up WordPress coworking days
Creating free and discounted non-profit websites
and more!

There’s a side effect to giving and giving back with WordPress: I’ve found that the more I give…the more I’ve gained: friendships, clients, jobs, and the warm feeling that only comes from sharing good things.
Attendees can expect to learn more about the social power of WordPress, how the WordPress community functions, and how giving back is really a way to give to yourself.

June 4, 2018 — Queremos compartir contigo nuestra experiencia y vivencias sobre los 13 años (desde 2005) que llevamos trabajando profesionalmente en el desarrollo web con y para WordPress.

Te contaremos todo aquello que nos ha ido bien y todos los errores y tropiezos que hemos cometido.

Te diremos cómo hemos logrado tener un flujo constante de clientes sin hacer, desde hace muchos años, ninguna publicidad o promoción directa alguna que nos haya costado dinero y teniendo uno de los blogs más abandonado y con menos contenido del universo.

Si estás pensando en poner en marcha tu propio estudio o agencia de desarrollo con WordPress, seguro que podrás tomar nota de algunas ideas.
