Once you get the hang of it, you can really throw together a website quickly. Install WordPress, grab a theme from somewhere, install a batch of plugins, write some stuff, and done! (Almost as fast as a quarter pounder with cheese can role off the assembly line at McD’s.) Does this always work out for the best? Slow cooking a WordPress site involves some careful thought, planning, and execution. In this presentation, we’ll cover how to choose a theme, how to choose plugins that won’t bork your site, and some important details that often get overlooked. Much of the information here will be based on experiences from working on a variety of sites and helping out in the support forums. Slow Cooked WordPress will be for the intermediate to advanced WP user or beginning developer who builds WordPress powered sites for fun or profit.
