This months WordPress Sheffield meetup is Tuesday May 12^th and we have a Design & Photography special with 2 great speakers:

Building blocks of web design

Chris Hart: Experience Led Web Designer

An understanding and appreciation of typography, composition, colour and visual hierarchy should be in every web designer and developers toolkit, yet most of us have had no formal teaching.

We’re not going to rectify that last point in one evening, but a basic look at the building blocks of web design will do us all the world of good.

Photography and the Web – more than stock

Chantele Smith: Developer, Photographer and student

The talk is about good and bad photography and how it can enhance websites. Also sources to find good photography and photographers.

Come and join us!

It’s 12 months this weekend since the first WordCamp Sheffield. In case you were wondering there won’t be one this year. Maybe next year. We don’t know yet!

Just another WordCamp, in Sheffield

Since WordCamp Sheffield a year ago there has been a number of other UK-based WordCamp events (London, Manchester, Birmingham). We don’t feel there is currently any need to pull together another single-day ‘medium’ sized WordCamp in Sheffield with so much already happening on our small island.

This doesn’t mean WordCamp Sheffield is dead. It’s just resting up. We will be back. Bigger and better.

In the meantime

Our monthly WordPress Sheffield meetup is still going strong. It happens the 2nd Tuesday of the month and we’ve got some new and awesome speakers planned for the next couple of months as well as a 5-year anniversary bash planned for August!

Also don’t forget our sister meetup WordPress Leeds – I’m not involved in the planning or marketing of this one any more but I still try and attend every month.

Finally – if you want to be more involved join the WP Community UK Slack Channel (you’ll need a @chat.wordpress.org email address). This is a great place to follow what’s happening in the UK WordPress meetup and events community and get involved in planning your own meetup or WordCamp.
