Speaker Spotlight: Wes Chyrchel

I love the web. It truly is my passion. I’m lucky enough to have made it my career for the last 15 years. This industry has changed a lot in that time and it keeps getting better.

I’m constantly surprised at how resilient the web has been over the years. Every time someone says the web is dead, out comes something new that rocks the industry. The innovation is spectacular.

WordPress is part of that wave of innovation that is rocking the web. The community is strong, the developers are solid and the progression is steady. This is a great time to be a web developer.

I’ve been building websites with WordPress since 2006 and I often get asked why I use WordPress. Over the years there were different responses, “it’s the best blogging platform”, “It’s easy to use”, “There is a strong community”, etc. The truth is, WordPress has gotten exponentially better every year. Now whenever I get asked that question, I ask a question right back, “Why not WordPress?” It can do everything you need.

I’m looking forward to speaking about WordPress Multisite and some of the tips, tricks and hacks I’ve learned over the last year. If you see me please introduce yourself and tell me what you are working on. The second thing best thing about WordCamp is all the great people you meet and the exchange of ideas. See you there!
