Event Description

Sometimes WordPress Themes don't provide enough flexibility. Sometimes themes try to do too much, adding complexity to the Dashboard and difficulty migrating to a new theme later. We'll explore custom layouts using shortcodes, embeds, and custom widget areas to bring your self-hosted WordPress site to life.

Familiarity with the WordPress dashboard, an understanding of self-hosted WordPress architecture, and the fundamentals of web publishing.

John LeBlanc is an independent WordPress specialist and web developer. He’s been developing websites and web content management solutions professionally since 1997, serving as the first staff webmaster at CBS in Boston.
