In preparation for this year’s WordCamp Ni\u0161 conference, we give you several reasons why you should not miss the biggest WordPress conference in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

WordPress<\/a> is a well-known platform to everyone. There are almost no developers or IT professionals who are not familiar with the basics of WordPress. If you are reading this text and still don\u2019t know what we are talking about, here are a few lines about the basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WordPress today is the most popular CMS that runs over 33.7% of the world’s web sites<\/a>. WordPress is one of the most flexible open-source solutions that is constantly updated by the WordPress community, and is currently represented with 60.7% of the market share. Using this platform, we can create unique and very complex websites for any purpose: online shop, blog, company site \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WordPress community is always there for you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s the WordPress community<\/a> that is the strongest weapon this platform has. Thousands of people around the world are volunteering to make WordPress a safe and reliable solution. WordPress Ni\u0161 community<\/a> exists from June 2016 and since than we organized many meetups and workshops and contributed our share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The community provides support to all those who are just starting out and do not have much experience using WordPress. Thanks to that, we can always find a solution to the WordPress problem we have, or to get a quick response from members of the community on Slack<\/a>. In short, someone is always there to support you and help if you have a problem. They all work voluntarily and do not receive any compensation for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone can help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone can help and contribute to the strengthening of WordPress and its community. It does not matter whether you are a developer, designer, or if you have zero experience working with WordPress.<\/strong> The Contributor Day is the best way to get started and find out first-hand how you can contribute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event gathers those who are already actively working on concrete tasks and strengthening WordPress and they will be the ones who will best tell you how and where to start. At the beginning of this gathering, all participants will be divided into teams where mentors show new members how to make their contribution: write a patch for some bug, translate a plugin, answer forum questions \u2026 In addition, there are always experienced developers in such gatherings- bloggers, designers, people from all walks of the WordPress world, so you have a unique opportunity to get to know them and talk to them about everything that interests you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
