DESCRIPTION

WordPress is an incredibly flexible tool that allows us to quickly build and launch websites – both fun and profit. Unfortunately, most sites never realize their full potential because they lack a few critical details. In this session, we will discuss how to use WordPress to tell better stories that lead visitors to action. We will also look at external systems that interface with WordPress to help us maximize our digital presence.
