-- 7:15: Themes, Page Builders & Theme Builders... Oh My! with Christina Gwira.

We'll be tackling the differences between themes and page builders, as well as the new kid's on the block, theme builders. We'll also take a stab at the default Wordpress page builder Gutenberg while taking a backend look at themes such as Divi, page builders like Beaver Builder as well as opening the floor up for discussions surrounding all things themeing.

Three Takeaways:

1. Before purchasing a theme, check reviews, live website (not the live demo) and site speed on GTMetrix
2. Try to not use more than one page builder on your website
3. There are benefits in purchasing premium plugins for your page builder, especially if you are a web designer

Speaker Bio:
Before being a girl boss was cool, Christina was hustling her way through high-school selling her Dad's calling cards for the family business. Even before then, Christina was always selling something or another on the playground in elementary school. Fast forward to a life-changing move from the United Kingdom to Canada, she became her own boss for the first time in 2009, without any business school or post-secondary education. This life-changing decision provided her with business lessons - both good and bad - that she is ever grateful to have learned and experienced. Now, she's currently running her 6-figure digital design firm NOYADESIGNS, has over 10 years of business accumen under her belt, over 1.5 million views on her Youtube channel Naturally Nerdful and a calling to NEVER allow another millennial boss go through the crap she went through starting out as a creative entpreneur. Her mission is to to equip creative business owners with the tools and framework to build their business, ready to impact this digital age.
