Just like your mom never let you leave the house without looking your best, Jodi Kirkwood at Jackson Taylor design makes sure you are dressed to the nines before you go online. If you’re not quite sure if your online are threads in style, be sure to checkout her session on when it’s the right time for custom design with WordPress.
With that said, here’s today’s Speaker Spotlight:
How long have you been working with WordPress and what first attracted you to it?
I’ve been working with WordPress for 2 years. What attracted me was the flexibility of it. First, I thought it was a great blog platform but then I found out it can be so much more…even full custom sites capable of any programming we wanted to do with it. Possibilities are endless…
What are your thoughts on the WordPress community as a whole, including WordCamps?
Great way to network and learn more about progressing the technology and building new opportunities for clients.
Who in the WordPress community inspires you? Who do you follow?
Brandon Dove. I’ve known Brandon Dove since 2000 and he was great then and just has grown so much and is always been a great resource, friend and someone who is very inspirational in the industry.
What is the most exciting feature/addition/improvement to WordPress that you have noticed in the last year?
One thing recently is the BuddyPress with a Magento combo – the whole idea of creating a social shopping site for a client and then on the other spectrum creating a fully custom Luxury, high-end site for very high profile Real Estate Professionals who really want to stand out from their local competitors. There is something for everybody.
Where do you see WordPress 2 years from now?
Industry standard for web sites!
