Cool stuff inside Gutenberg: build the perfect UI with @wordpress/components

A brief dive into the component library built into WordPress / Gutenberg. I’ll use a little demo plugin to demonstrate how useful these components are, and how you can use them to build the perfect authoring interface for your custom content, and more. 

I’ll present a demo focusing on audio/music examples, to illustrate the variety of things you can do in WordPress. For example, a “page soundtrack” block for adding dynamic background audio to your posts.

How Elementor changed my life (for the better!)

Before Elementor was installed on my sites I was wary of doing very much in the backend of my website. As someone who loves to action things quickly (think MVP), not being able to iterate without handing it over to my web guy was super frustrating. When Elementor entered my life I felt significantly more confident to develop new pages, update content and get creative.

No more waiting days to implement my plans – now it gets done pronto and I can adjust for mobile and tablet as well as desktop. This session will include a live demonstration for how to use the Elementor elements so you can see for yourself how it works.
