My favorite part of any project is helping my clients understand how to present user facing and administration parts of their WordPress website. \u00a0Again, its all about merging the business needs and user needs.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600\">In the future, I see WordPress being used for\u00a0<\/span>enterprise solutions. I would like for corporations to adopt more open source solutions like WordPress.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600\">WordPress has changed the way I\u00a0<\/span>think about building websites. I can build a website with anything, but WordPress gets it started faster.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Best real-life camping story:<\/span>\u00a0I was on my way back from Colorado and decided to set up camp in south Kansas. \u00a0In the middle of the night, I woke up to what sounded like a pack of coyotes. I wasn&#8217;t\u00a0interested in introducing any new meat into the circle of life, so I slept the rest of the night in my car.<\/p>\n<p>See Ron &amp; other great WordPressers at WordCamp STL 2012<br \/>\n<a title=\"Buy Tickets Now!\" href=\"\/get-your-tickets\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"113\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/stlouis.wordcamp.org\/2012\/st-louis-wordcamp-awesome\/buy-tickets-now\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/stlouis.wordcamp.org\/2012\/files\/2012\/06\/buy-tickets-now.png\" data-orig-size=\"233,58\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"buy-tickets-now\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/stlouis.wordcamp.org\/2012\/files\/2012\/06\/buy-tickets-now.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/stlouis.wordcamp.org\/2012\/files\/2012\/06\/buy-tickets-now.png\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-113\" src=\"https:\/\/2012.stlouis.wordcamp.org\/files\/2012\/06\/buy-tickets-now.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"233\" height=\"58\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow Ron on twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ronstrawbridge\" target=\"_blank\">@RonStrawbridge<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ron&#8217;s presentation:\u00a0Wordpress UX Design Solutions How many years have you used WordPress? 3 I look forward to speaking because:\u00a0I&#8217;m passionate about UX and\u00a0Wordpress is one of those great tools that can make our (the\u00a0business, designers, developers and users)\u00a0lives easier.\u00a0I believe &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/stlouis.wordcamp.org\/2012\/meet-ron-a-user-experience-ux-specialist\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Meet Ron &#8211; A User Experience (UX) Specialist<\/span>  <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7694169,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-706","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2uWLe-bo","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stlouis.wordcamp.org\/2012\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/706","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stlouis.wordcamp.org\/2012\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stlouis.wordcamp.org\/2012\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stlouis.wordcamp.org\/2012\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7694169"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stlouis.wordcamp.org\/2012\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=706"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/stlouis.wordcamp.org\/2012\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/706\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":708,"href":"https:\/\/stlouis.wordcamp.org\/2012\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/706\/revisions\/708"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stlouis.wordcamp.org\/2012\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=706"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stlouis.wordcamp.org\/2012\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=706"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stlouis.wordcamp.org\/2012\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=706"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
