Session Spotlight: Adding a Design Process with Greg Douglas

Meet Greg Douglas in the Salt Creek Trail room at 11:40 AM on Sunday, June 6 to discuss the importance of having a design process in your workflow.

If you are thinking about being a freelance consultant or already working as a consultant designing websites using WordPress, now is the time to specialize. The jig is up… the bubble has popped. We have exceeded full market saturation for consultants building websites with WP for small businesses. If you don’t plan to specialize and you are not a natural developer, you are going to have a hard time. For this reason, Greg believes it is important for people identifying themselves more as a designer to specialize in our field as a designer. With examples, this talk represents my take on the why and the how of specializing as a designer, designing for WP websites/applications in today’s business landscape.
