9seeds in Phoenix and New York

Posted on

One of the things we enjoying doing most is traveling to WordCamp events, doing presentations and meeting the amazing group of WordPress users, designers and developers that come out for a great day of learning and networking! November brings us two opportunities and we’re hoping you can join us!

November 13 – WordCamp Phoenix
We are proud to be sending John Hawkins to Phoenix where he’ll give a presentation on creating a WordPress plugin. The team at GoDaddy is sponsoring the event and they are definitely doing it up right! They will be live streaming the sessions so you can catch the sessions even if you aren’t able to make it out to the event. You can also follow along on Twitter with the hashtag: #PhxWC

(Note: If you plan on being at the show and want to talk about a WordPress project with John, please catch him in the morning as he’ll be heading to the airport shortly after his presentation.)

November 14 – WordCamp New York
We were very excited to receive an invite to speak at what is shaping up to be one of the largest WordCamp events of the year. With 50 speakers and 8 session tracks, this is going to be an amazing 2 days in the Big Apple! Be sure to get there early as John Hawkins will first on stage in the beginning developer track where he’ll give a presentation on creating your first WordPress plugin. Shayne Sanderson will also be on hand to answer questions you have about your WordPress site. Follow along on twitter with the hashtag: #wcnyc

We hope to see you at one (or both) of these events!

The launch of 9seeds

Posted on

It’s been said that anything worth doing is worth doing right. Sometimes that means you need to put projects on hold because you don’t have proper people ready, willing and able to join forces to make that project a success. But when you finally find the right people, doing it right seems to happen with very little effort.

A bit of history

A few months ago I was approached with an opportunity to work on a project that I immediately realized as something I wanted to be a part of. Unfortunately, by myself, I just didn’t have the time or skills to complete the project in the way I know it needs to be done in order to be a success. So I shelved it.

Fast forward a few weeks. I took a trip to Los Angeles to take part in WordCamp L.A. While there I had a meeting with Shayne and Todd and gave them an overview of the project. They, too, were both immediately excited. Having known Todd for several years and having worked closely with Shayne on projects over the last couple months, I knew that I had found the missing pieces.

Thus, 9seeds was born!

Our project is underway and we expect to launch in the next 4-6 weeks. It will be the first in a series of custom WordPress plugins. Until then, if you need a custom WordPress plugin, a unique theme for your business, or if you just need some help with your existing website, give us a call. We’ll be happy to help.

Cheers,

John
