  • Dawn Pedersen: Using a Content-First Design Process

    WordCamp Sacramento 2016Speaker: Dawn Pedersen

    December 1, 2016 — Sure, you could do a lot of guesswork at the beginning of a website design project. Let’s build a template and throw in some placeholders, and see what becomes of it! Only to discover when the text and media come rolling in from your content creators that half the template needs to be rebuilt, and the menu structure you had in mind was way off-base.

    This happens a lot, costing everyone involved valuable time and energy — especially you. Learn how to put content first in the sequence of design steps.

    This talk will cover:

    Defining your audience and goals
    How to convince your client to provide content in a timely fashion
    Understanding, organizing, and prioritizing content
    Brainstorming ideas for optimal site and page structure

  • Mark Howells-Mead: Modular Functionality – Organizing Your Code To Make WordPress Development Easier

    WordCamp Geneva 2016Speaker: Mark Howells-Mead

    December 1, 2016 — There are many resources for developers online which show how to code a WordPress Theme or a WordPress plugin. However, there are fewer resources which explain the necessity for, and advantages of, separating functionality between Themes and Plugins, planning development according to modular coding principles, and working on WordPress projects which go beyond the blog.

    Touching on front end techniques most commonly known from programmers like Brad Frost, I’ll explain how to plan a development project for both front end and backend environments in an overview, using a recent real-world example of developing for both blogs and non-blog-type WordPress multisite installation.

    My talk will provide a summarized insight into maintaining individual features through the use of your own Plugins, why it’s important to decide whether to add features to a Theme or via a Plugin, and the flexibility and organisation which modular coding brings.

  • Leo Gopal: The WordPress Community, Mental Wellness, and You

    WordCamp Cape Town 2016Speaker: Leo Gopal

    November 24, 2016 — Our own mental wellness, and that of those around us, is probably the least understood and most neglected part of our daily lives. It is time we all started understanding what it truly means to have mental wellness and what it means to us and those around us when we do not have it – especially what we can do to help those around us and ourselves.

    The WordPress community is both the perfect place for Mental Health issues to go undetected as well as the perfect place for so many people to live a higher quality of life simply by increasing our awareness to it.
