One can have many reasons to form a WordPress agency. Initially we teamed up to build an online platform that scratched an itch in all of us, we simply wanted to try and prove a point with the idea we had. All of a sudden we were running a thriving job board for the Swiss web industry and had a beautiful side project to work on. In order to keep our creative freedom and sovereignty, we didn’t want to take money from venture capitalists or investors. Therefore we came up with a concept to keep us going while allowing space for our individual lifestyles.<\/em> Karin Christen \u00e9 gerente e co-fundadora da ag\u00eancia WordPress e de UX required+ e co-organizadora do WordCamp da Su\u00ed\u00e7a.

\nUma pessoa pode ter muitas raz\u00f5es para criar uma ag\u00eancia WordPress. Inicialmente, Karin juntou-se a outras pessoas para criar uma plataforma online destinada a resolver um problema de todos eles. De repente estavam a gerir um sistema de contrata\u00e7\u00f5es para a ind\u00fastria web da Su\u00ed\u00e7a. Para manter a liberdade criativa n\u00e3o quiseram dinheiro de investidores ou capitais de risco. Por isso criaram um conceito que permite manter o neg\u00f3cio e deixando espa\u00e7o para os respectivos estilos de vida pessoais.
\nA sess\u00e3o ser\u00e1 apresentada numa perspectiva de neg\u00f3cio. Karin ir\u00e1 partilhar a sua experi\u00eancia de desenhar e construir uma plataforma online usando WordPress. Ir\u00e1 partilhar alguns segredos e o que aprendeu no processo de criar e manter esta plataforma desde h\u00e1 mais de cinco anos.

\nThe talk is intended to be a business talk. I’m going to share our experience in designing & building an online platform on top of WordPress. I’ll share some secrets and learning from running & maintaining it for about 5 years now. I will show you how we managed to balance client work and product work and how we focussed on the features that really matter because of financial and time constraints. <\/em>
\nMy goal is to bring my thoughts and process related to user experience and interaction design into the WordPress community and to inspire them with the way I’m thinking about running a WordPress Agency.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
