“Improving the User Experience of Your Sites”, by Neil Scott – Tuesday 27th February, 6:00pm at iCafe Sauchiehall St.
WordPress is known for pre-made themes that make it easy to get started. However, after a while you might wonder why certain design decisions have been made, how they affect your users, and what you can do to make the site better.
This is where User Experience (UX) design techniques come in. UX is way of bringing together user needs and business goals through research, testing, and design.
This talk will introduce the concept of UX and provide practical tips for improving your site.

Three WordPress Glasgow meetups in August

Posted on 25 July 201731 August 2017 by Carme Mias.Meetup, News, Scotlandchild themes, co-working, workshopLeave a comment

After a super exciting July for all Scottish WordPressers and our many friends, we continue the summer with a blast:

WordPress Community Workshop – Thursday 10th August, 6:30pm at the CitizenM’s ground floor lounge.
If you would like to build a website using WordPress, or if you already have a WP site which is having issues, or if you are looking to share your WP knowledge, then this is the gathering to come along to. The idea is that people of all levels of ability can come along, collaborate, and discuss and/or show those aspects of WordPress that are of interest.
This informal get-together is also ideal for anyone who is new to WordPress and looking to find out more. Hear other people share their knowledge and experience.
One-to-one help setting up your WordPress site, from Automattic – Thursday 17th August, 6:00pm in the CitizenM’s ground floor room.
The Automattic Happy Engineers are having a team meeting in Glasgow and would love to meet the local WordPress community and answer all your questions about setting up your WordPress site. don’t miss this unique chance!
“Create your own Child Theme” workshop – Tuesday 22nd August, 6:00pm at iCafe Sauchiehall Street.
Have you found a nearly perfect theme for your website but Customizer doesn’t let you change everything you’d like to? Do you build WordPress websites for other people and wish you could use your creativity a bit more?
Child Themes are great for those who want to take WordPress that bit further as they allow you to take an already existing WordPress Theme and change absolutely anything from it.
We will start by learning about the structure of a WordPress theme and then create our own Child Theme step by step.
We’ll also learn how to test our site for the various platforms and make sure it is responsive and accessible.
Bring your laptop if you can.
Also, if you already know how to build Child Themes, come along and volunteer to help your co-members if they get stuck. It may be you next time!

You can join the WordPress Glasgow community and find out more about these and other events from our meetup.com website.

Another fab month!

Wednesday 21th June, WPGlasgow goes to Edinburgh –
The first “official” get-together of the two current Scottish WordPress meetups! We are looking forward meeting everyone at our sister WordPress meetup and exchanging ideas and experiences. It’ll also be great to meet the WordCamp Edinburgh 2017 organising team just one month ahead the event. We’ll probably organise a car share to get there, leaving central Glasgow at 4pm. You can also make your own way there if this is not convenient. Please check details on the trip’s meetup page.

Glasgow WordPress co-working meet – Thursday 9th Feb

Posted on 1 February 20172 March 2017 by Carme Mias.Meetup, Scotlandclinic, co-working, WP GlasgowLeave a comment

Every 2nd Thursday of the month from 6:30pm at Citizen M’s

Bring your questions, ideas or problems and hopefully we can all help each other out.

The beauty of this group is that you need no knowledge of WordPress to come along and join in straight away.

Do you want to know how to begin building a website, have you got a website and are having difficulties or do you just want to share your knowledge? Then this is the place to do so.

Previous meet-ups have been a great success! Our group is growing each month with new people coming along and sharing knowledge and experience which is great for all us newbie’s like me.

What have you got to lose, come see for yourself, could be the start of great things.

See you there !!
