November came and gone and unfortunately I did not get around reading a book this month. But, the last couple of weeks I have not been too lost for words either… I think it was about 2 years ago or so, I attended my first WordPress Contributors day. At first everyone, including me, would think, ‘How … Continue Reading ➤

When I thought, I’ve pretty much covered going to WordCamps for 2015, I’ve decided to squeeze in another one… visiting Scotland! Why not!? The organising team put together an amazing event in record time (something like 8 weeks…), including excellent talks and hospitality. They should definitely get some sort of prize of how quickly such a successful … Continue Reading ➤
Timeline with WordPress Page Template and ACF
Advance Custom Fields (ACF) is very popular with WordPress developers these days. It makes it easy to customise the WordPress admin area into custom content sections for your clients and built it in, to display in the theme. ACF also came in handy when I designed and developed the custom WordPress theme for a football … Continue Reading ➤

Responsive Genesis child theme menu
On of the biggest issues a web designer face, designing a responsive WordPress theme, is how to deal with the screen estate.

It can become tricky to organise the content for all of these different screen widths and devices, whilst still looking good, … Continue Reading ➤

WordPress Development from Dropbox with MAMP, Git and git-ftp (on Mac)
I work on 2 different computers almost on a daily basis. For me it makes sense, developing WordPress websites, taking a bit of pressure of my server, to have a local copy. When you are done with a section/function of the work, to deploy those changes to a remote copy, for it to update. With … Continue Reading ➤
