Come hear three WordPress.ORG experts discuss the arguably-most-popular web content management/blogging software available today.

For info on watching this members-only event live, or on-demand, please see below!

Each of the panel members found value in Wordpress from a different angle, yet all 3 agree it remains their first choice for the majority of their current web projects. Doug Wray comes from the technical, coding background, Angela Bowman from an aesthetic and functionality viewpoint, and Bethany Siegler initially found its marketing capabilities and ease of use to be the original appeal of this open-source software.

The panel will discuss:

• Their favorite themes (template designs) and plugins (mini software applications offering more features and functionality)
• Insights and background on both the history behind Wordpress and their individual journeys into developing full websites from what started as a blogging platform
• Real-world examples of Wordpress being used as a blog, a site and a complete website solution
• The admin tool – take a peek to see why each specialist, as well as their clients, love working with Wordpress
• A few favorite tips and tricks from each
