Rackspace / Custom plugin · Event publishing

Built for the people publishing the event.

The marketing team needed to keep a changing program current across its event sites. My part was the agenda plugin, its multisite support, and guides for day-to-day publishing.

Rackspace

Custom plugin · Event publishing

The problem to solve.

A changing event program took eight hours to enter manually. The team needed a clearer publishing workflow across its event sites.

What I built.

  • Built a custom WordPress plugin to bring structured agenda information into the site through CSV imports.
  • Extended the plugin to WordPress multisite.
  • Created publishing guides so the marketing team could manage the site independently.

What changed.

8 → 2 hours

Agenda entry time

  • Agenda entry time fell from eight hours to two.
  • The team received practical guides for maintaining its publishing workflow.
