The document discusses how to create WordPress websites that are client-friendly. It recommends customizing the admin area to be intuitive for clients, using pages instead of menus, using code instead of widgets, using custom post types sparingly, and using custom fields for everything to make content management easy for clients. It provides examples of how the author implements these strategies, such as restricting client roles, cleaning up the admin interface, using pages for navigation, and using custom fields instead of post type plugins.

Create a newsletter in less than 17 minutes without writing a single wordNik Cree
https://positivebusinessonline.com/easiest-way-to-create-a-weekly-newsletter-in-less-than-30-minutes/
We all know how important it is to keep in touch with clients on a regular basis to nurture and retain them to keep buying from you. Put up your hand if you are guilty of starting a weekly newsletter, all with good intentions to keep writing and publishing only to struggle to get the first one out and have it fall by the wayside at issue two or three.
Let’s face it, who has 3 to 5 or more hours a month to sit down and dream up good content to write on a regular basis? Running the businesses and working with clients gets in the way and no one I know (let alone me) wants to spend a Sunday tapping out well written prose to send to clients to keep in touch, possibly with a touch of guilt at putting aside an activity which is so important.
This lead me to find an easier way to create a regular newsletter in less than 30 minutes a week.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

2. About me
‣ Co-founder of ‘eleven media’ a small web design agency
‣ I’m a full time WordPress Theme Developer
‣ Coding WP themes for 5+ years
‣ 1 free WP plugin (1k downloads)
‣ 2 free WP themes (100k downloads)
3. Why Client-friendly ?
‣ Less training / support / documentation
‣ Happy clients
‣ Happy developer
“Aim to make the client’s wp-admin
experience as intuitive as possible.”
4. How I create Client-friendly sites:
‣ I customise the wp-admin area to suit the project
‣ I use Pages instead of 3.0 Menus
‣ I use code instead of Widgets
‣ I use CPTs sparingly
‣ I use Custom Fields for everything
* I have a completely different mindset if I’m developing a theme for distribution
* You might not agree & that’s cool !
5. Customising the wp-admin area
‣ Restrict the client to “editor” role
‣ Clean up the wp-admin
(Minimal Admin, Adminimize & Functions)
‣ Tailor the admin experience
(Admin Columns, White Label CMS & Functions)
“I give clients everything they need to
manage content & hide everything they don't.”
6. Powering navigation with pages
‣ Pages are easy to understand
‣ 3.0 Menus can get confusing
‣ Plugin : Simple Page Ordering
‣ Plugin : Admin Collapse Sub Pages
‣ Plugin : Exclude Pages from Navigation
7. Custom solutions over Widgets
Eg : Twitter Feed
‣ Is the functionality even needed / what’s this solving ?
‣ Which widget / plugin to use ? do you need a plugin ?
‣ Can a widget be styled to suit the business / brand ?
8. Use CPTs sparingly
‣ I use Custom Post Types for content that would typically
be shown multiple times & likely have a ‘single’ page:
(Products, Staff Profiles, Testimonials)
‣ I don’t use Custom Post Types for content that is shown once
(Sliders, FAQ’s, Galleries)
‣ I’m guilty of overusing CPT’s in the past ; )
9. Use Custom Fields for everything
‣ Custom Fields / Post Meta is Ideal for complex layouts
(Advanced Custom Fields, Pods, Types & Functions)
‣ I use ACFs to replace ‘post type’ plugins (faqs, sliders etc)
‣ ACF with the ‘Flexible Content Field’ add-on is awesome
for responsive design
‣ Very client friendly (no shortcodes etc)
