I have given a series of talks about the power of using CMS systems for beginner and intermediate WordPress designers and developers. The goal is to help fledgling designers/developers overcome the trepidation and feel comfortable about what they don’t know.

I’ve focused on commerce recently because so many people ask me about it, it is a very strong vertical market in Southern California and it’s a very practical way for someone to get into word press web development either as a contract developer or to build a small business.

WordPress also has many amazing tools and plug-ins for commerce.
