WordPress Development Seminar

Back to work! After a busy 2010 and hope­fully a good rest over the year end, let’s start 2011 with Word­Press based Web­site Devel­op­ment using Semi­oman­tics XO.

After mul­ti­ple exer­cises such as the Christ­mas site or the per­sonal blog, we need to go into some more detail in as much as design, pre­sen­ta­tion and pro­duc­tion are con­cerned. There are 4 areas of con­cern we will focus on at the Jan­u­ary seminar:

While XO offers a good choice of built-in fonts, each customer’s brand­ing is dif­fer­ent and we may have to imple­ment exist­ing brand­ing ele­ments, namely defined type­faces. The sem­i­nar will deal with the font issue and show

• how we can over­write the XO default settings
• how we can use Google Fonts
• how we can use any font for for any part of the website
• how to define font families
• where to use which kind of font

A del­i­cate issue, but sub­se­quent to the Apple Exer­cise, we have received requests to go deeper into the issue of advanced menu design. This con­cerns all sorts of solu­tions whereas we will keep the focus on easy nav­i­ga­tion. We will start from the almost end­less pos­si­bil­i­ties of the XO menu, move on to sprites and end up with advanced cus­tom hand-crafted menus.

Graphic Design for the Inter­net is dif­fer­ent from Print Design. We will focus on under­stand­ing these dif­fer­ences and learn about the require­ments of cross-platform read­abil­ity. The Work­shop will be focused on com­mu­nica­tive graphic design with Pho­to­shop (or any other tool of your choice). Depend­ing on par­tic­i­pants skills, we will do this in 2 parts: basics in Jan­u­ary and advanced in February.

Semi­oman­tics will present it’s new affil­i­ate pro­gram, enabling any­one to sell XO and to earn money from doing so. The inter­est is not just in sell­ing some scripts, but in sell­ing our skills and know-how when it comes to cus­tomiza­tion, cus­tom design and optimization.

With XO we have a great and flex­i­ble prod­uct which can serve as a base for any web­site. Together with Word­Press, the world’s most pop­u­lar pub­lish­ing plat­form, there are hardly any lim­its to design, fea­tures and per­for­mance. We train you to digg out the best from WP and XO for the ben­e­fit of your customers.

This chap­ter will lead us into the main cur­ricu­lum of Ycad­emy 2011: Pro­duc­tiv­ity, Mar­ket­ing and Project Management.

The Online Sem­i­nar will take place on Jan­u­ary 29 — 30, 2011, from 1 pm Lon­don Time to 9 pm Lon­don Time on both days.

Please reg­is­ter early as we need to pre­pare the per­sonal mate­ri­als for each participant.
