LECTURE:
Balance between features and user experience. Do not clutter Wordpress
Important points/Info with plugins and themes that will slow down how Wordpress works.
Basic UI/UX principles are:
1.Clean and fast home page
2.Simple and clean design
Apps/Tools
3.Quick and easy to understand navigation
4.Display items without clutter and avoid pop ups, loaders etc.
5.Display content so it is easy to read and available for everyone
Place to take notes In order to have big picture regarding previous remarks we need to look
at few examples so we can have idea about good and bad UI/UX.

Good Examples: Bad examples:

UI/UX P r a c t i c e s
HTML and CSS
All things above are important but we will focus on last one because it affects who
and how can access and use our Wordpress web site.
Displaying content for regular users is no brainer but when we need
to make it usable for disabled people things can get tricky.
As our design and content are influenced by the theme we use, it is im-
portant to choose one that can be used and modified with ease.
Accessibility enables people with disabilities to perceive, understand, nav-
igate, interact with, and contribute to the web. We will cover most import-
ant things to have our Wordpress web site accessible to wide audience.
1.Accessibility is not a barrier to innovation
2.Do not use color as the only visual mean of conveying information
3.Ensure enough contrast between text and its background
4.Provide visual focus indication for keyboard focus
5.Make clean and easy to understand forms
6.Avoid component identity crises
7.Do not make people hover to find things

Introduction:
- to best UI/UX practices
- to HTML and CSS
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the most basic building block
of the Web. It describes and defines the content of a webpage.
W1
UI/UX P r a c t i c e s
HTML and CSS
Other technologies besides HTML are generally used to describe a
webpage’s appearance /presentation (CSS) or functionality (JavaScript).
HyperText refers to links that connect webpages to one another, either within a single
website or between websites. Links are a fundamental aspect of the Web.
By uploading content to the Internet and linking it to pages created by
other people, you become an active participant in the World Wide Web.
Most of web apps are done in HTML5 however there are still apps that are made with
HTML4. On images below you can see the difference in declaration of HTML type.
Html 4 Html 5
HTML5 is the latest evolution of the standard that defines HTML.
The term represents two different concepts:
1. It is a new version of the language HTML,
with new elements, attributes, and behaviors,
2. and a larger set of technologies that allows more
diverse and powerful Web sites and
applications. This set is sometimes called HTML5 & friends
and often shortened to just HTML5.
Entities in HTML are tags and atributes.
Most common tags are: <div> <p> <h1> <span> <li> <img> <form> <table>
Most common atributes are: href, src, style, alt
Why HTML5 ?
Semantics, offline storage, device access, multimedia, 3d graphics.

HTML and CSS
A document is usually a text file structured using a markup language And this is what we get in browser:
— HTML is the most common markup language,
but you will also come across other markup languages such as SVG or XML.
Presenting a document to a user means converting it into a usable form for your audience.
Browsers, like Firefox, Chrome or Internet Explorer, are designed to present documents
visually, for example, on a computer screen, projector or printer.

Web browsers apply CSS rules to a document to affect how they are displayed.
A CSS rule is formed from:
A set of properties, which have values set to update how the HTML content is displayed,
for example I want my element’s width to be 50% of its par-
ent element, and its background to be red.

A selector, which selects the element(s) you want to apply the updated property values
to. For example, I want to apply my CSS rule to all the paragraphs in my HTML document.
A set of CSS rules contained within a stylesheet determines how a webpage should look.
How CSS look like: CSS3 is current impletementation that is widely used
although in some cases we can see older variants as well.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a website
or a web page in a web search engine’s unpaid results—often referred to as natural,
organic, or earned results.
In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results page),
and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will
receive from the search engine’s users; these visitors can then be converted into customers.

Basic division in SEO are onpage and offpage optimization.

We will focus on onpage optimization as it is our primary goal to fine tune our
WordPress presentation within itself. Offpage optimization is promotion of your web page
with incoming links, reviews, articles, social media etc.

Basic principles of onpage optimization are:

good semantic html code
mobile (as many) device ready web pages
title, keyword and description attributes

We have a link in the additional reading section, that explains how to
set up online hosting. We play the video on the projector
and the participants follow the instructions and set up everything.
After we filled required fields we can log on to our fresh WordPress installation.
In order to have good organization of our content we need
to know which pages we want to create.
For start we will need: HOME, NEWS(blog), ABOUT, CONTACT.
Now we can create pages that we are going to use.
Basic entities in WordPress: categories, pages, posts, links
Category is predefined taxonomy in Wordpress.
It is used to sort and group content into different sections.
Default category in Wordpress is Uncategorized.
Adding category
We can add category in Wordpress in a few ways. We can create categories before
adding posts or during post creation we can select created categories or add new one.

Edit category
We can edit category in Wordpress when we navigate to
Next we need to do are basic settings.
Posts > Categories and when we mouse over one of them edit link will appear.
We will go to Settings tab and finish basic set up there.
After we are done click on Save Changes button.

Next steps are cleaning up new WordPress installation:

1. Delete default post, page and comment

2. Set up WordPress permalinks
3. Set our timezone
4. Enable or disable user registration
5. Set up WordPress Comments settings
6. Wordpress Media settings – put all dimensions to 0 to prevent Wordpress from
creating multiple copies of same media file and reduce load on our hard drive.
7. Disable directory browsing (security measure) – we need to edit
Worpress.htaccess file and add new line: Options All -Indexes
8. Add current year list to Wordpress Ping List (Google latest list)

Page in WordPress refers to the page post type. Posts are content entries listed in reverse chronological order on your blog’s
Key differences between pages and posts are: home page. Due to their reverse chronological order, your posts are
meant to be timely.
Older posts are archived based on month and year.
Posts are timely content part of a series of posts in a blog. Pages are static one-off type As the post gets older, the deeper the user has to dig to find it.

They have a built-in commenting feature that allows users to

By default posts in WordPress can be sorted into taxonomies Categories and Tags.
Pages do not have categories or tags. Editing Post

Pages can utilize custom page templates. Posts can not utilize this feature
by default in WordPress. Post types:

WordPress posts are displayed in RSS feeds while Pages are excluded from feeds. Standard – The default post format

There is no limit on how many pages you create in WordPress and it is possible to
create a website with only pages and not using posts at all. Even though pages are

We can start to organize content when it is added.

We can create, edit and arrange menus in WordPress dashboard under
Appearance > Menus

We will create our main menu now.

We need to have pages created in order to create our main menu.
When we are in Menus tab in dashboard we can go and create new menu
give it a name and select Top Menu checkbox. Add pages and catego-
ries that we want in our menu and click on Save Menu button. Items in
menu can contain sub items that will create nested drop down menu.

[ menus, navigation, media, users ]
In our current theme we can add Menus to two locations:
1. Top Menu
2. Social Links Menu (it is intended for social links)
Also we have option in menus to automatically add new top-level pages.
If we want that just check the checkbox and we are done.
We can also add custom links or posts to our menus.
Also we can add Menus in Sidebar and other widget areas it is just a matter of
options of theme that we currently use. We need to go to Appearance > Widgets and
add Custom Menu item that will appear wherever we have that widget field active.
Removing and editing menu is simple just select menu that we want
to edit or delete and edit or delete items or whole menu.

Media is part of WordPress dashboard which is used to manage user uploads
(images, audio, video, and other files).
Under the Media menu, there are two screens. The first screen Library lists all the
files in the media library. These files can be edited and deleted from the library.
The second screen is Add New, which allows users to upload files.
Remember users can also upload media (images, videos, etc) while
writing a post or page. However, the Add New link under allows
users to upload files without attaching them to a specific post or page.
All media files are stored and organized based on the year and month
they were uploaded in a folder called /wp-content/uploads/.
You can search the media files by using your WordPress admin menu,
but there is no way to store media files in specific folders.
Wordpress has powerfull user management system already built in.
This means that we can define what specific user can and can not do on our website.
Defining user permissions on our website means we need to define a role
for specific user. WordPress comes with five default user roles:
Administrator
Editor
Author
Contributor
Subscriber
Since we installed Wordpress we are Administrator of our web site.
Administrator has ultimate power on WordPress site and can edit, add,
delete almost any part of Wordpress (yes even other administrators).
Administrator role is for site owners or for person that is as-
signed by owner to handle Wordpress site.
User management is easy in WordPress. We can enable for users to register
themselves or we can add them using Add New button under Users tab in dashboard.
When we mouseover user under Users tab we have Edit and Delete options.

A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added
to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your
WordPress websites.
WordPress plugins are written in the
PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress.
As a site administrator, you can install/uninstall plugins from the admin area.
You can also download and manually install them using an FTP client.
Because the vast majority of plugins are free, it is important to note that they usually
do not come with tech support. For this reason it is important to be
careful when choosing which ones you want to install on your site.
Although there are plugins that can do virtually anything, some are much
higher quality than others. In order to choose the right ones, you should ask
yourself a few questions. How long has it been since it was updated?
Is it compatible with the latest version of WordPress?
Are people getting answers to their support questions?
What type of rating does it have?
Widgets in WordPress are designed to add new features to our sidebars.
We can see that with default widgets that we get when we install WordPress.
Widgets were originally designed to provide a simple and easy-to-use way of
giving design and structure control of the WordPress Theme to the user,
which is now available on properly widgetized WordPress Themes to include
the header, footer, and elsewhere in the WordPress design and structure.
Widgets require no code experience or expertise.
They can be added, removed, and rearranged in
Appearance > Widgets in the WordPress dashboard.
We can add new widgets in form of plugin and there are
many to explore and use for all kind of situations.
Widgets usually live in WordPress sidebar but they can be also
used in footer like in our Twenty Seventeen theme.

Theme decides how our WordPress will look and feel. So choosing right theme
for our Wordpress web site is crucial. In most cases themes that you get with Wordpress
will do the job but you can always try new themes and make even better product.
There are thousands and thousands of themes available online.
There are free and premium themes. Free themes will be good for most cases but
if you need extra customization and support check out premium themes (paid).
Installing themes is easy in Wordpress. There are few ways to do this.
First one is easy and we need to navigate to Appearance > Themes and click
on Add New button. After install is complete we can activate new theme.
Second option is to upload theme throug WordPress dashboard.
Download theme to your computer and navigate to Appearance > Themes
and click on Upload Theme button.
Third way is copying theme to our theme directory but for this we need
to have FTP access to our server which is not always the case.
WordPress does not have form management built in out of the box.
For that we need to install plugin which will take care of that. We will
take a look on several plugins that are known to work well.
1. WPForms
2. Gravity Forms
3. Pirate Forms
4. Ninja Forms
5. Formidable Pro
6. Contact Form 7
Choice which to use depends what we need out of forms on our WordPress web site.
We will introduce Pirate Forms as it is easy to use and set up.
First we need to install plugin from Plugins tab in dashboard.
After installation we can proceed to settings of our plugin which can
be accessed from Plugins tab or Settings tab in dashboard.
When we are on settings page for our forms we can see ways how to
add contact form to our page. We will use shortcode method to add contact form.
Just copy and paste shortcode to desired page and we have working nice contact form.

Main issue with most of social media plugins is performance. Like all plugins they need
omework review - 15min
to load additional resources like style sheets, scripts etc. which can slow down web site
response. So we need to have a balance between features and user experience.
LECTURE:
Good practice is to use only few social media profiles connected to Wordpress.

Social media plugins allow you to show social icons in sidebar, below
article, before article, etc. so we need to decide how we would like to
display them on our site and if the plugin supports that option. Recommended reading:

WordPress maintenance is often seen as waste of time and resources.
It is extremely important to keep your Wordpress up to date, clean, secure and fast.

We need to install Yoast SEO plugin in Plugins tab and activate plugin itself.
After that we will get new things in our dashboard. WordPress maintenance include:

between these two and we will focus on our blog posts SEO. 3. WordPress updates

5.Optimize titles for SEO
Backups are very important and they are frequently negclected.
6.Optimize descriptions
Using automatic solutions for backup is way to go as it can save time and money.
7.Image optimization
Manual backups are also recommended when you have time to do so.
8.XML sitemaps
There are many plugins that do the job so it depends what type of backup we need.

Wordpress updates are released in a timely manner and major release updates
must be applied especially if they fix security issues. Updates are available on:
1. WordPress core
2. Plugins
3. Themes
NOTES:
And so every time we want to update we need to check will it work with our current setup.
Comment spam is something that need your attention because
without moderation it can start to affect your Wordpress speed.
Best antispam tool is Akismet and it is present with WordPress core installation.

We have two main enviroments in which we run WordPress.
Those are development(local) and production(server) enviroment. We will focus on
local enviroment as it is more safe to develop, modify and change WordPress without
consequences. Also we can work in local enviroment even without internet connection.
We need to know requirements for our local enviroment.
Requirements are: Apache, PHP and MySQL
We will use MAMP as it is easy to use solution for Windows and MAC OS X.
MAMP takes the role of a server in our local enviroment.

1. Download MAMP
2. Install MAMP
3. Start MAMP
4. Configure MAMP

Last task to complete our local enviroment set

up is to create a database for WordPress.

need to change port for that. By default we will use port 80 for Apache.
There are two ways of doing this. First and easy one is to go to

In WordPress folder we have file that is called wp-config-sample.php
and we need text editor to open that file and alter a few things.

Under DB_NAME we will put wpproject as that is our chosen database name.
Under DB_USER we will use root and under DB_PASSWORD also root.
