WooThemes is a leader in the WordPress community. They have been around just about as long as anyone, and boast one of the largest customer bases out there. But they haven’t stopped iterating and building products geared for site owners, designers, and developers.

WooThemes aims to be a platform to build and transform standard WordPress-powered websites into slick, functional business tools. They do so with WordPress themes for general use and a variety of niches, designed and developed by some of the top folks in the industry. They also build extremely robust plugins like WooCommerce to help people serve business needs effectively, from standard stores to subscriptions and coursework.

We are thankful to WooThemes for their support of WordCamp Birmingham, and be on the lookout for some great giveaways from them during camp!

Yoast’s WordPress SEO plugin is the go-to SEO plugin for site owners and pros. Their free plugin is a great start to technically sound tools ready to help you deliver semantic markup for search engines to have a better understanding of your site content.

Yoast offers a number of products in addition to the base WordPress SEO plugin as well. They’ve got add-on offerings for WooCommerce, Local SEO, Video SEO and Google News. And you can purchases video tutorials either for your own use or to help teach your clients, straight from the dashboard.

In short, Yoast makes websites work better for both website owners and website visitors. And people like me (and perhaps you) can rely on Yoast to stay on top of the SEO industry so we don’t have to.

We thank Yoast for supporting WordCamp Birmingham as a Gold level sponsor.
