WordPress 6.6 will be released on July 16, 2024, bringing many exciting new features for developers, especially for theme developers. Join me to explore how these updates enhance your plugins and themes and streamline your development processes.
Stop being a part-time CEO
Entrepreneurs and business owners always get stuck doing low-value tasks instead of focusing on growth at some point. This talk will provide actionable steps to assess daily activities and outsource/automate tasks below CEO level, such as design, billing, and data entry. Categorising tasks by value and delegating allows for eliminating the grind of busy work that causes frustration. This frees up time for strategy, innovation, and marketing. The result is shifting from part-time helper to full-time CEO and reaching your potential through delegation, automation, and outsourcing. The focus becomes executing big-picture vision instead of fighting daily fires.
Help! I don’t know where to even start for my landing page design!
Do you suffer from blank canvas syndrome when starting a new website design or landing page? I certainly do – or at least I did until I discovered some basic fundamentals around mixing design, copywriting, UX and persuasive sales strategies.
In less than 30 minutes I’ll walk you through a landing page structure inspired by frameworks such as Storybrand, PAS (problem, agitation, solution) and other proven systems that work as a fantastic and simple starting point for almost any conversion-focused web page.
Blank canvas syndrome – begone!
