PUTTING WORDPRESS IN A SUIT & TIE: WORDPRESS IN CORPORATE AMERICA

WordPress is known to power websites for individuals, small businesses, news outlets, and educational institutions. We are at the tipping point of WordPress gaining acceptance, over traditional enterprise tools, within corporate controlled environments. This session will review four websites built, using WordPress, for well-known big business corporations. I will discuss the challenges encountered, solutions provided, and the many..many lessons learned along the way of developing each project.
