Our in-person coffee Meetups are an opportunity for us to meet each other in a casual environment. We often discuss WordPress, but we can venture into entrepreneurship and running an agency, client communications, design, or our personal experiences in life. Please join us!
We had a mix of new and familiar faces at our Meetup March 13 at Elm Street Bakery, including Freed, Sophie, Dave, and Sandra. Among other things we talked about:
- Using a Virtual Assistant (a person, not a bot) to help build & maintain sites and as support for small businesses
- Malware in free themes
- Helping clients organize their content for better SEO and to avoid adding sooooo many pages to their sites
- Using Adobe Express to edit photos
- David’s garden blog, the seeds he’s planted, and his research into adding a bee hive to his land
- Making a YouTube video
- Using themes vs page builders vs a combination of the two
- WP zoom Meetups, their uses, their differences, and how to find them.
- Font trends, how to choose them and how often to update based on audience and client needs
- Marshall McLuhan’s theory that the medium is the message
- Using Figma for workflow
- For designers and people new to building websites, attending Codeacademy to strengthen skills and depth of knowledge
- Finding community in a new city when moving there as an adult
