The responsive custom design. Ngaire Ackerley discusses fluid design within WordPress themes.
Keith Devon gives a 5 min. lightning talk covering a case study of NDEP.org at the WordPress London Meetup.
So you’ve got your WordPress site up and running and visitors are finding it through search engines. But are you giving them enough information about your site once they’ve arrived?
In this presentation I’d like to share some ideas for simple tweaks you can make to your theme that can help improve the usability of your site – specifically in the areas of search, blog pages, archive pages, ‘landing’ pages and ‘read more’ links. I’ll be using some common (and less well-known) WordPress functions and array values, and also recommending a useful plugin for improving search results.
The ‘Customizer’ was introduced in WordPress 3.4, allowing users to toggle settings on their site with a live preview before saving them. This talk will show how any theme can use the powerful Theme Customisation API to add customisable elements to a theme that will let users/clients preview and publish real changes on the fly. We’ll also cover some of awesome things we’ve managed to achieve using it at FactoryMedia.
WordPress is designed to make website administration simple. This talk covers how StudioA2 deliver projects that allow flexibility on the front end while not compromising usability on the back end.
A well designed site that functions correctly for visitors can be a nightmare for your clients if the administration is not user friendly. We’ve built dozens of WordPress sites, each with its own unique design, layout and content structure. We deliver a bespoke admin interface that empowers clients to take full control of site content within various layouts without needing to know the first thing about HTML/CSS.
This talk will give you an introduction to using WordPress to build web apps. It will include:
the difference between a web app and a responsive site using themes to create a web app from the same database as your main site WordPress plugins which help with web apps by Rachel McCollin
Mobile website development is a hot topic at the moment. More and more users are accessing websites via a mobile device. This talk will show you how to build a basic mobile template and wrap in it into a plugin that you can drop in to your current WordPress website. The course will cover all aspects of a mobile web build project including: Concepts, Wireframes, Prep your Current WP site for mobile, Design, Screen Resolutions, Development (Mobile CSS Reset, WP Code, Mobile jQuery, etc), Bug Testing and much more. You will also be able to download the fully working mobile theme that was used in the talk.
More and more developers are using WordPress to build and sell online products (web apps, SaaS, etc.), and providing excellent user support is a skill certainly not to be taken for granted.
