She contributes to Smashing Magazine and wptutsplus and is the author of two WordPress-related Beginners Guides for Packt Publishing. She also runs Compass Design, a WordPress web development agency in Birmingham, UK.

Acknowledgements

I'd like to thank all those in the WordPress community who have helped me develop my own use of WordPress, in particular the organizers of WordCamp UK, without whom I wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet many of the developers I'm now pleased to call friends.

I'd also like to thank Birgit Gruber (formerly of Wiley) for bringing me on board with this project, and Chris Webb, Tom Dinse, Luann Rouff, Sara Schlaer, and Ellie Scott for their professionalism and support. A huge thanks goes to Mike Little for his enthusiasm and feedbackhaving a co-founder of WordPress involved with this book is a pleasure and an honor. Members of my team at Compass Design provided feedback on the initial ideas for this book, inspired some of the content and contributed code used in the case studiesthanks to Mark Wilkinson, Tammie Lister, Scott Evans, and Nivi Morales.

My husband, Pete, spent many hours keeping two small boys calm while I disappeared to quiet rooms, libraries, or coffee shops to write, and I thank him for his continuing and unwavering support and patience.

Finally, I'd like to thank Jonny Allbut, whose input in planning this book made it much better than it would have been without himI hope we manage to work on another writing project together sometime.

Introduction

WordPress is the world's most popular content management system (CMS), and it continues to grow in popularity. There's an increasing trend for owners of websites of all descriptions to move to WordPress as their needs scale, along with their frustration with other customized or unintuitive CMSs that they may be using. As Matt Mullenweg said in 2012:

We might not always be the platform people start with, but we want to be what the best graduate to.

WordPress is now far more than a blogging platform. Enhancements such as custom post types and taxonomies, as well as improvements to the Dashboard such as the Menus screen added in version 3.0, and the new Media Manager enhancements in version 3.5, mean that developers can push WordPress further and users can quickly create beautiful, customized websites. If you're prepared to write custom functions and hook into the WordPress APIs, then there's very little you can't do.

WordPress is free and open source, with a large and dedicated community of users and developers, which is one of its strengths. It's also a platform on which you can build a career and a business. As a WordPress developer you may be considering setting up your own agency building WordPress-powered sites, or you may have already done this and want to take your skills to the next level so you can meet the needs of larger clients with more complex requirements.
