Since the introduction of the Gutenberg block editor in 2018, WordPress has modernized at a blistering pace. And as a self-taught developer, I know first hand how hard it is to stay up-to-date with these changes.

It’s not only about understanding how modern WordPress features work. What’s more important is how to use them.

But whether you sell plugins or themes, or build custom websites, modern WordPress comes with lots of opportunities.

Opportunities to build better, more performant, and easier to maintain websites.

And I’m going to show you how.

Why should you listen to me? A few things about me:

• Migrated the Skyscanner blog, a network of almost 50 sites, to WordPress and the Gutenberg block editor–before it was even part of WordPress Core.
• Was the lead developer on the headless relaunch of TechCrunch. Also known as the Million Dollar Website.
• Helped the WordPress & WooCommerce agency Lightspeed transition to using block themes. Lightspeed CEO Ash Shaw discussed our collaboration on the Do The Woo podcast.
• Taught over 250 WordPress developers from all backgrounds how to build block themes and custom blocks through my courses.
