One of our owners, Dave Wade, and one of our web developers, Max Lythgoe, were able to attend WordCamp 2024 in Portland, Oregon. They learned more about web development improvements, different hosting sites, and much more. They learned from some of the biggest companies including Disney, The New York Post, and more.
This conference is one of the premier gatherings for web developers, WordPress designers, and others interested in web design in the U.S. The potential of WordPress and human-designed sites is endless. Let’s learn more about the conference and how PDM will implement what we learned.

Why Our PDM Web Developers Use WordPress
Our team has been using WordPress for hosting, website building, and web development for many years. We love how easy it is to integrate e-commerce, review widgets, and other applications for different clients.
Optimizing for SEO is the whole goal of our company, which is why we use WordPress to build our websites. At WordCamp, we learned that even the biggest companies utilize WordPress to improve site visibility. There are numerous SEO plugins that we use to help Google crawl webpages and blogs, making it easy for you to rank on the top of Google search results.
Other reasons we love WordPress include:
- Cost-effective monthly hosting
- Regular updates
- E-commerce integration
- Multimedia support
- Responsive design
- Large community support
Building Custom Options For Our Clients
Building custom blocks is easy in WordPress. We want to allow our clients to have a unique website that doesn’t take us hours to build. Creating simple and complex sites is easier when we can utilize custom blocks. These help us to ensure that a visitor’s eyes can flow through your webpage easily.
Utilizing a block editor will allow more flexibility when designing a website. Using custom blocks helps us tailor the design to your unique needs while also reducing the need for additional plug-ins. The fewer plug-ins we have to use and the cleaner code we can use, the more efficient your website will be.
Once we have created a custom block, we can reuse it for other websites or subpages. This makes us faster web designers and keeps the look of your website cohesive.
Conferences For Business Improvements
Our owners, account managers, and other team members are involved in the community and educational opportunities. From networking events to sales conferences we are looking for ways to propel our company into the future. When people are willing to collaborate and learn from one another, all of our businesses approve. The future of WordPress and web development is in good hands.
