March 7, 2019 — En la ponencia quiero hacer llegar al público interesado en el diseño con WordPress una forma sencilla, rápida y cómoda de tener una plantilla base para WordPress que puede servir tanto para bocetos como para proyectos en producción.

La charla tendrá como protagonista a Foundation (https://foundation.zurb.com/), un moderno framework CSS / JS que nos permitirá tener un control sobre el diseño basándonos en grids, mobile-first, responsive, etc. De una manera muy sencilla e integrando este framework con la estructura básica de una plantilla WordPress usando underscores (https://underscores.me/).

Lo que pretendo con esta ponencia es que cualquier persona interesada en el diseño web con WordPress descubra o confirme aún más la facilidad que nos da WordPress a la hora de crear nuestros propios diseños o plantillas web. Adentrarse más en el diseño para WordPress, un acercamiento a HTML y CSS como herramientas básicas de diseño web en general y las bondades que nos dan los diferentes frameworks CSS / JS.

Otro de los motivos de esta ponencia es hacer que las personas descubran nuevas posibilidades a la hora de trabajar con WordPress, despertar el gusanillo de crear sus propios diseños, ver alternativas a las plantillas de stock o los compositores visuales. Un nuevo punto de vista, una nueva oportunidad de aprendizaje con WordPress.
