\nBeing a designer, WordPress is my tool of choice. I use it on almost everyday basis to publish articles and opinions on various blogs and magazines and I am specialising in creating websites with the focus on users and the better publishing experience for my clients.<\/p>\n
\nPublished and designer<\/p>\n
\nHow it isn’t is a better question. WordPress has evolved in so many ways, it really revolutionised and democratises publishing. It is today used on more than 26% of *all websites in the world*. It evolved during this time by improving the administration UI, adding new functionalities like custom post types. It is also an extremely accessible piece of software.<\/p>\n
\nI would love to have more multilingual functionalities “out of the box”, but other than that \u2013 it’s perfect.<\/p>\n
\nIts community.<\/p>\n
\nWordCamp Europe, every year except 2015; WordCamp Croatia and WordCamp Split in Croatia; WordCamp Belgrade each time, WordCamps London, Nuremberg… Kyiv in a few weeks \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
\nYes<\/p>\n
\nI organise WordPress Meetup in Zagreb (every 2 months, around 70+ people on each), I was the lead organiser of WordCamp Croatia in 2015, and co-organiser of WordCamp Split in 2016. Was on the communication team for WCEU in 2016, and will be leading the communication team for WCEU 2017. I spoke at several WordCamps, couple of WordPress Meetups and other design-oriented conferences. I am one of the founders of Croatian WordPress community and active in community growth. I love to meet new interesting people throughout Europe that work with WordPress and especially people that are involved in other communities. <3<\/p>\n
\nI can tell you what we did in Croatia \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
\nNever been to Belfast and wanted to visit, so a WordCamp was a perfect excuse to both visit Northern Ireland and the local WordPress community.<\/p>\n
\nContributor day. Love the idea of the “Charity min-hackathon”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
