There\u2019s a race to add new features, fix the most bugs, enhance the user experience \u2013 until eventually, your product is a confusing and complicated mess, like a tangled ball of yarn.

However, captions are often forgotten, even though it can benefit more people than you think. You might assume that it&#8217;s just for the d\/Deaf and hard of hearing people.

But even more people can benefit, like those who are autistic, have learning disability or have attention deficits.<\/p>\n<p>From sharing my own personal experience as a deaf person, combined with my experience in digital marketing and content marketing, I combine the two to share stories on how you, as a content creator, can maximise the impact of your videos by making use of captions.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s not just about writing &#8220;whatever is said&#8221;.

This assumption is untrue, but it exists because of wider misconceptions about the use of WordPress and its purpose. With good planning and consideration before and during a WordPress project\u2019s lifecycle, we can ensure that the project scales well and has the flexibility to add new features without too much scope creep or performance impact. By avoiding waste, using coding standards, and adopting a serious software development mindset to WordPress projects it is easy to build WordPress sites that will scale effectively.

It is an application that lands in four pillars: Fast, Secure, engaging and Integrated. At this Workshop, we will explain the reason why we should change our mindset to a user-first mindset to create a better experience for our users. And AMP helps on that, AMP or Accelerated Mobile Pages is a framework with three important tools, AMP HTML, AMP JS and AMP Cache. AMP HTML has a set of components that accelerate our development process and AMP JS take care of our application performance and AMP Cache is the last ingredient to provide the best experience the feature that enhances the performance of content delivering. After understanding those core items we are going to convert our WordPress Application in a User-first application using AMP. At the end we will do an exercise with five core components: amp-img amp-youtube amp-sidebar amp-lightbox amp-socialshare Let&#8217;s code!.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/li><li class=\"wordcamp-post-list__post wordcamp-clearfix\">\n<div class=\"wordcamp-session wordcamp-sessions__post slug-remote-working-how-to-make-it-work-for-you\">\n\t<h3 class=\"wordcamp-block__item-title wordcamp-sessions__title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/glasgow.wordcamp.org\/2020\/session\/remote-working-how-to-make-it-work-for-you\/\">Remote working: How to make it work for you<\/a><\/h3>\n\t\n\t\t<p class=\"wordcamp-sessions__speakers\">\n\t\t\tPresented by <a href=\"https:\/\/glasgow.wordcamp.org\/2020\/speaker\/david-artiss\/\">David Artiss<\/a>\t\t<\/p>\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wordcamp-block__item-content wordcamp-sessions__content is-full\"><p>Many WordCamp attendees are remote employees.
