Nile will be giving a presentation in the Designer Track titled: WordPress Design and Development For the Client In Mind
What are you speaking about at WordCamp Philly?
As a designer and developer, it is always a challenge in finding a way to make using a site easier for each individual client. For many, WordPress might be new to them or they may not be very web savvy.
It can be frustrating and sometimes time consuming. Let me help you take away some of those future headaches.
I am going to cover ways you can make it easier for you to address these challenges and hopefully inspire you to add improved techniques to your WordPress design and development so your clients are more comfortable with using their websites.
I will be holding at the end Q & A session for anyone who has questions.
What is your favorite thing about the city of Philadelphia?
Well, truhtfully I have not been to Philadelphia. Funny since I grew up a military brat that I had not gotten the chance to travel through there, but I am a history buff and Philadelphia is a city that appeals to my love of learning about Philadelphia and seeing some of the landmarks that were involved in shaping our country. While I may have not been there, I will be taking suggestions on places to visit and even places to eat. So please, feel free to strike up a conversation and let me know more about Philadelphia from your own experience. 🙂
Why do you love WordPress?
I love WordPress for many reasons. I have been in the community for a long time and saw its growth from its b2 cafelog days to what it is today. Learning the nooks and crannies of not just blogging, but designing and developing with it has been a real treat. Through WordPress and blogging, I have met a lot of great people, and taught a lot of people that I am proud to see doing so well using WordPress. What is not to love? WordPress is a CMS a fan girl and designer’s dream to use and work with.
