  • Why Design Matters: First Impressions Count

    WordCamp Malaysia 2025Speaker: Zee Khamaruldin

    January 2, 2026 — We all know most WordPress sites start with a similar structure, but what really makes people stop, look, and stay is the design. Colours, fonts, images, and even white space all come together to create that all-important first impression. Get it right, and your site feels inviting and trustworthy.
    In this session, Zee will show how design can completely change the way a site feels, even when the content is exactly the same. Whether you’re building your first site or levelling up, you’ll walk away with practical ideas to make your websites stand out. You’ll see side-by-side how design choices shape the experience with examples of websites done in Kadence and Elementor Pro.

  • How AI Helps Me Design Websites Faster

    WordCamp Johor Bahru 2025Speaker: Zee Khamaruldin

    July 31, 2025 — When designing websites, the longest and laborious step has always been the planning stage. Planning website layouts had always been a manual process of sketching before creating wireframes per section for each page. After much resistance to using AI, I was intrigued when Elementor launched their Site Planner. The first time I tried using it for a self-interest website, it was enough to convince me. Before AI, an average website of 5 pages, the wireframes would take me at least a whole week to complete. After AI, I managed to have 3 websites’ wireframes ready for respective clients within a week! For this talk, I’ll be sharing a case study of a non-profit website I managed to complete – from planning to launch – in a very short period of time.
