• Crank WordPress to 11

  by Lorelle VanFossen, Mike Bijon, Jeremy Wilson, Taylor Dewey and Don Elliott

  Designing and developing WordPress Themes isn't about a paint job on the web. It's where design and content meets the code pavement. WordPress Themes are highly flexible and dynamic, pushed to their limits by the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, CNN, Huffington Post, NFL, Number 10 Downing Street, NASA, Harvard, and more than 70 million websites worldwide.

  Join Lorelle VanFossen and a panel of WordPress experts for insider stories, tips, tricks, and techniques to move you away from boring templates and crank up your designs with techniques to create powerful, dynamic websites. This engaging, high energy panel will discuss how WordPress Plugins influence design and functionality, wireframes to frameworks to WordPress Themes, and the future for WordPress Theme development including mobile, HTML5, CSS3, and the new federal laws on web accessibility.
