Consider the following: A site consisting of 300+ reviews marked up in ASP.net anno 1998, a mangled WordPress blog with a broken theme and 60+ plugins hosting 900+ uncategorized articles, and 23 serious hacker attacks in the last 2 years. That’s what we faced when we took on the *REDACTED* project. Can WordPress Really Do That, Take 2 is a case study of how we took a site that cannot be described as anything other than a complete disaster and resurrected it with the help of WordPress. The talk will touch on everything from IA and UX to design challenges, CPT and taxonomy implementation, working with a designer, to how to get the most out of WordPress by building on its strengths. Equal parts visuals, code, anecdotes, and side-by-side comparisons the talk aims to show the behind the scenes process of a real life project.
