Special Event
If you use WordPress to build things for other people, we want to make
your life easier. No matter whether you freelance on a solo basis,
lead a small web shop, make plugins in a dark closet, or crack the
whip at a large design firm, our aim is to become your go-to source of
information and resources to help you expand your WordPress skills and
know-how. To make you better at what you do. To make it easier to make
your living and look great doing it.
You’re part of a tribe of WordPress designers and developers over
10,000 strong, spanning the entire globe. CodePoet.com aims to bring
the working knowledge and real world strategies of those people into
one place, for you tap into.
