Developers have been using the concept of agile development to streamline their process and produce better products for quite a while now. The design process, though, is pretty much the same as it was when I started designing websites 17 years ago.

With the promise of the responsive web coming to fruition, I propose that it’s time to move beyond the tried-and-true PSD to WordPress conversion method and start designing for the web we have now.

I’ll discuss why I’ve moved to using an agile design process, how to translate the agile manifesto for software development to the WordPress design process and introduce the audience to tools I’ve used to facilitate the move to a more modern way of designing WordPress websites.
