This talk could go 1 of 2 ways. I am still working on a few different versions with local meetups.
I helped build a local mayoral candidates site this year. In doing so I did not write any code. This involved plugins such as Beaver Builder and Gravity Forms.
I can make this talk centered around the whole build process or the use of Gravity Forms (which I will provide examples using other form builders as well.)
Forms in themselves are an often overlooked topic which I am happy to speak on. After all most people don’t consider that this is how essentially all two way communication with users exists.
For the campaign site Gravity Forms was used to accept donation, build email lists, signup volunteers and coordinate with the appropriate team members. All without coding as well.
The other version of this presentation will be delivered as a case study where I will still explain how I built the site without code, but will focus on how WP is the right platform to build a site (and community) quickly, reliably, and inexpensively.
