Cambridge WordPress: your site as a marketing portal

WordPress as a Marketing Portal
Simon Ellington (above left) from Brand Unify has been using WordPress for about 5 years. Simon is 9 parts designer 1 part web designer so chose WordPress because of how accessible it was for someone non-technical.
Brand Unify uses WordPress as a framework to build marketing portals which help organisations control and streamline their marketing activities which can become challenging for multi-location organisations.
Simon will give a demonstration of a marketing portal and talk about how WordPress has risen to the challenge without the need to be a php whizz.

Chris O'Dell (above right) from Foxdell Codesmiths has been developing software using the Microsoft technology stack for over 20 years to build web, windows and back-end systems.
For the past 8 years he has also been using WordPress, building sites and plugins for a wide variety of side projects.
Chris' philosophy regarding WordPress is that it makes a great platform for getting a minimum viable product up and running and in front of those it matters to most, your potential customers.
In this talk he will go through why he thinks WordPress makes a great starting point, and how it can be used as a software foundation to get your product up and running.
