As announced before, Sonika Studios Inc. is presenting “Beyond Template Tags” at the WordCamp Fraser Valley. As one of the speakers, we are entitled to give out one free pass to a lucky winner through a draw. This is an excellent chance for you to win a free pass ($75 value!).

Here’s how you can win:

A. If you create a blog post on your own blog (doesn’t have to be WordPress), with a link back to this post with the handle “Vancouver Web Design Agency Sonika Studios Inc. at the WordCamp Fraser Valley” within the <a> tag, we will award you 3 entries.

B. If you tweet “@sonikastudios is presenting at the @wcfv this Saturday on WordPress for total web CMS. Win a free pass to the event at http://bit.ly/UdiDM”, we will award you 1 entry.

The contest will close at 6pm Friday (August 21st 2009).

Wordcamp is a series of events held all over the place, promoting the use of WordPress and also educating designers, developers, and other business professionals how to utilize WordPress to its maximum capacity. Jeff Kee, CEO of Sonika Studios Inc., will be making a presentation regarding development using WordPress.

Of course, Sonika Studios Inc. is an industry leader when it comes to applying WordPress as a CMS in order to deliver self-managed websites to clients who want them, and you can read more about how we use WordPress as a CMS here. WordPress and its plugins allow an excellent user experience for the business owner, without the headache of learning the vast complexities of other off-the-shelf CMS solutions such as Joomla or Drupal.

As a lighter alternative to our own semi-custom developed CMS platform, Brixwork, a professionally modified edition of WordPress can deliver you the results you need for a simple yet powerful CMS. Of course, if you want full-strength and a lot of custom development options, our Brixwork platform is your answer, but more than half of our website clients can sufficiently manage their sites with a WordPress system, so you could be one of them!

Wordcamp Fraser Valley is being held on August 22nd, between 9AM to 5PM, at the Surrey SFU campus. It’s near the Surrey Central Skytrain station, so either drive down, or hop on the Skytrain to get there! Tickets and other details can be found at the Wordcamp Fraser Valley Site.
