Ron’s presentation: Wordpress UX Design Solutions
How many years have you used WordPress? 3
I look forward to speaking because: I’m passionate about UX and Wordpress is one of those great tools that can make our (the business, designers, developers and users) lives easier. I believe if we build a website (or anything) it needs to meet the needs of the potential users and the business strategy needs. I look forward to sharing how to accomplish just that from a UX perspective.
Favorite WordPress Project: I really have enjoyed all of them. My favorite part of any project is helping my clients understand how to present user facing and administration parts of their WordPress website. Again, its all about merging the business needs and user needs.
In the future, I see WordPress being used for enterprise solutions. I would like for corporations to adopt more open source solutions like WordPress.
WordPress has changed the way I think about building websites. I can build a website with anything, but WordPress gets it started faster.
Best real-life camping story: I was on my way back from Colorado and decided to set up camp in south Kansas. In the middle of the night, I woke up to what sounded like a pack of coyotes. I wasn’t interested in introducing any new meat into the circle of life, so I slept the rest of the night in my car.
