Important: order your extra t-shirt before Monday November 13th, after that we won’t be able to get you a t-shirt right on time. Yes, we already have your t-shirt information, but we don’t want to mix up things, so we ask you one more time:

Sponsorblog: Secupress

You know what can become another dead online document? A website without protection!

We really care about every website over here, specially WordPress because, well, it’s a choice to work on WordPress only. And with 29% of the market share, there is a lot a WordPress website over the Internet.

The concept of securing websites is not a new trend. Julio Potier is doing this as a Web Security Consultant since 2009 now, and playing with Web Security since 2002.

He created SecuPress last year. SecuPress is a WordPress Security Plugin like no other. It’s more than a plugin or a product, it’s a way of rethinking the WordPress Security with ease. Let’s understand why.

The first special thing is about its scanner. It will test your installation to give you a grade that indicates a gross level of security of your website.

Then – and again like no other – the 4 step wizard will guide you through a funnel of correction.

In no time, your website will be more secure AND in the same time, you already know what has been activated to protect your wesite against what, and why.

This particularity is important for the users, they want to understand what they are using, not just activating and checking boxes like donkeys. Users are not donkeys, they are the most important thing in a website.

Administrators, webmasters, authors, visitors, what is a website without them? A dead online document. That’s it.

We really care because SecuPress has been created with one main thing in mind: your security, this is why SecuPress has been created.

Special workshop during contributor afternoon

So we, the people from WordCamp Utrecht, we like to do some things differently. And here’s another one: we found Maik Gruppen from Savii willing to do a workshop during Contributor Afternoon. And it looks like it will be an interesting workshop, it’s titled Show me the money.
In this workshop you will explore the possibilities of recurring revenue services and generate new ideas for growth for your business.

Nog een paar sponsorpakketten beschikbaar

We hebben nog een kleine maand te gaan en er zijn nog steeds een paar sponsorpakketten beschikbaar. Dankzij de sponsors kunnen wij een welgevuld 2-daags evenement organiseren en de toegangsprijs belachelijk laag houden waardoor het bezoeken van een WordCamp voor geen enkele portemonnee een zware dobber is.

Om WordCamp Utrecht tot een succes te maken hebben we sponsors nodig.  De goedkoopste sponsorpakketten beginnen al vanaf €70.
Dat de naamsbekendheid van de sponsor hierdoor een aanzienlijke impuls zal krijgen, hoeven we je niet uit te leggen. Daarnaast is dit de uitgelezen kans om direct in contact te komen met bestaande en potentiële klanten.

Voor meer informatie: bekijk onze sponsorpakketten of stuur ons een mail: info@wordcamputrecht.nl.

Steun WordCamp Utrecht met een sponsorpakket!

We still have a little month to go and there are still some sponsorpackages available. Thanks to the sponsors we’re able to organize an event packed with interesting things that lasts 2 days. And still we’re able to keep the tickets ridiculously low,

In order to make WordCamp Utrecht into a success we need sponsors. The cheapest sponsorpackages start already at €70.
The fact that this will give the brand awareness of the sponsor a significant impuls is one thing for sure. Besides that this is a huge opportunity to get in direct touch with existing and potential customers.

For more information: check our sponsorpackages or drop us a mail: info@wordcamputrecht.nl.

WCUT2017 Speakers Round 5

Well, this is our final speaker announcement: Yvette Sonneveld, Chathu Vishwajith, Marieke van de Rakt and Thomas Maier. A great thank you for all the other applicants who didn’t make it through our selection procedure. We’re now working on the schedule which we intend to present you this weekend! Meanwhile, go get yourself a ticket! Only €40.

Yvette Sonneveld

Yvette Sonneveld trains, coaches & consult business owners and professionals, like you, but mainly in the financial services and real estate industry in building a magnetic online presence (also called Inbound Marketing). I help you define a marketing strategy that energizes you instead of one that wears you out. We will accomplish that by defining ideal client profiles (buyer persona). These are the clients that you, with your unique combination of personality and expertise, are best suited to serve. After all, don’t we all prefer to work with people who appreciate us for who we are as a person and what we bring to the table as a professional? By telling us so and by paying us well and promptly? Next, we’ll select and plan only those marketing activities that you’ll enjoy and that you’ll almost do effortlessly or those that are easily outsourced. We’ll mainly create and promote content that shows your buyer persona that you get where they are now, that you’re well qualified to help them reach their goals or solve their problems and that you’re fun to work with. The result will be more exposure, leads, clients, and revenue.
