With the evolvement of technology all over the globe such as the growth of the internet, social media, IoT…etc. easing the way we live life, it is important to note that at the same time, the rate of cyber-attacks, data breaches and unauthorized use of personal data is growing exponentially.

In the current environment, it is more important than ever, particularly for organizations/business entities that use WordPress handling financial data, health information and other personally identifiable information to understand the responsibility they owe to the owners of this data and obviously themselves in in terms of its safety and usability.

This session seeks to open a discussion for WordPress on the existing vulnerabilities, and loopholes in our cyber security management at both personal and organizational level and how we can close these gaps. We will also explore cyber security and data protection best practices and compliance programmes to help organizations and individuals comply with the evolving new data privacy requirements for successful businesses particularly SME’s that are using WordPress.

Designing a WordPress website and hoping to get traffic, links and conversions is the same as not having a website. The input that is needed after designing a website is crucial. This is where SEO comes in. It actually comes in right from the beginning. Having SEO plans in place as web designers are drafting a website is what separates great websites from good ones. These two processes go hand in hand.

Therefore, integrating on-page and off-page SEO to web design plans is A MUST, to say the least.

* Why you should care about securing your (WordPress) website

User Experience is a vast field and understanding the right UX Design process is necessary to achieve the best results when working on digital products/solutions (mobile/web).

This workshop is aimed at teaching participants the UX design process from idea to development.
I expect that at the end of this workshop participants will understand how to conduct user research, develop personas, conduct concept/Idea testing, build wireframes, prototypes and test with representative users.

I am proposing a practical workshop so participants can carry out activities themselves by building a demo digital product in class.

I am optimistic that after this session, participants will become better UX designer/developers and apply the knowledge gained to build better products.

Ranking high on Google is what every blogger dreams for, and works towards. Organic traffic to your blog from Google, and other search engines, is the most reliable.

But we’ve been told that it does not come easy, nor cheap. That you have to spend hundreds of dollars on SEO tools, and more on getting valuable backlinks.

I am not coming to tell the audience that SEO tools and acquiring backlinks do not work. But I am coming to say (and prove) to them that it is possible to rank high on Google without the use of SEO tools and backlinks, or with very minimum use of them. And more importantly, you do not need to be an SEO expert.

I will take them a process (which I have tested) that can help them rank on Google. It is cheaper, and very friendly to people who are not tech-savvy.

I hope to get an opportunity to make this presentation.
