Ycademy Online Seminar April 2011

Our April 2011 Sem­i­nar will fea­ture some impor­tant Updates as well as new ideas relat­ing to Word­Press and Word­Press Design and Devel­op­ment. This Sem­i­nar is for Word­Press Users, Design­ers and Devel­op­ers as well.

Word­Press Pow­ers 10 % of the Web! Its con­tin­u­ous devel­op­ment and the very active com­mu­nity have made of WP a leader and trend­set­ter in Web­site devel­op­ment and design. We will pro­vide you with the lat­est news and trends as they emerged on yesterday’s World Camp which took place in Seat­tle (April 16, 2011).

We will show how Semi­oman­tics fits in to the com­pet­i­tive world of and around Word­Press and how we can take advan­tage of global Word­Press devel­op­ment to shape our busi­ness and to build an ever grow­ing cus­tomer base.

We will release the New Semi­oman­tics Web­site, Forum and Affil­i­ate Program.

An update of Semi­oman­tics XO will be released as well right at the Seminar.

We will look into the Process and Work-flow of devel­op­ing and imple­ment­ing an online project and com­pare our own activ­ity to some stan­dards and benchmarks.

This is an impor­tant chap­ter as it will deliver a guide for Project development.

We will dis­cuss the infra­struc­ture needed, its cost as well as the tasks related to main­tain­ing a Web­site in good con­di­tion. The impor­tance of the behind-the-scene tasks is often under-estimated and can lead to mis­un­der­stand­ings between devel­oper and cus­tomer. It is there­fore of the utmost impor­tance to know how to main­te­nance a site and a host and how to price the tasks prop­erly. The dis­cus­sion with a cus­tomer will define, which tasks the cus­tomer may want to take care of and what will need to be out-sourced and at what price.

1. Semi­oman­tics focuses mainly on the devel­op­ment of a uni­ver­sal theme frame­work for Word­Press pow­ered web­sites, the by now famous XO. In depth knowl­edge of XO allows also less expe­ri­enced devel­op­ers to build awe­some cus­tomized web­sites for cus­tomers, in fact, there is noth­ing you can­not build with Semi­oman­tics XO.
2. Semi­oman­tics XO is con­tin­u­ously devel­oped to take into account the most recent Word­Press Devel­op­ments as well as the demand from cus­tomers. The Semi­oman­tics Inter­face is user-friendly and pro­vides also begin­ners a ver­sa­tile frame­work for most any pur­pose, the base remain­ing Blog and CMS.
3. Semi­oman­tics pric­ing is still  low! The XO frame­work can be expanded to the needs of cus­tomers by adding pre-built mod­ules or child themes which fit in with the XO Frame­work and are ready for customization.
4. Semi­oman­tics will pro­vide quick Sup­port and Help when needed. Quick sup­port dis­cus­sions, forum and sup­port tick­ets are just some ways to reach out for per­sonal assistance.
5. The New Semi­oman­tics Web­site will be a source of inspi­ra­tion and help for may devel­op­ers and users; scripts and tuto­ri­als will be made avail­able publicly.

Child Themes have the advan­tage that cus­tomiza­tions are safe from Theme updates; there­fore it can be a good idea to build a cus­tomized Child Theme for each new web­site. We will guide you through the process of plan­ning and build­ing a Child Theme in func­tion of cus­tomers needs and requests, exam­ple: Sim­ple Blog, Shop, Media Site.

Plug-ins are use­ful to add func­tion­al­ity of style to a WP dri­ven web­site. We will look into some rec­om­mended plug-ins for analy­sis, func­tion­al­ity and design, tak­ing into account the pre­vail­ing trends and keep­ing always the focus on our pri­or­ity: Performance!

We will namely come back to cus­tomiz­ing Slide Deck­Pro and WP Touch, some per­for­mance plug-ins as well as Cus­tom Fonts.
