The learning curve is lower than other CMS&#8217;s, the back-end, for the most part, is intuitive and easy to use, and the platform is highly extensible with many free and premium plugins available.<\/p>\n<p>For our clients, it means a quicker development turnaround, which results in high-value end-product at a lower cost.<\/p>\n<p>With the extensibility that WordPress provides, clients can have a fully functional calendar, membership site, or e-commerce store with relatively little effort. What once took months or years to develop from scratch is now a matter of a week or two with the help of the myriad of available WordPress plugins.<\/p>\n<h2>How BigWing Gives Back to WordPress<\/h2>\n<p>BigWing believes highly in <a href=\"https:\/\/ma.tt\/2014\/09\/five-for-the-future\/\">Five for the Future<\/a>. We benefit greatly from WordPress and believe in giving back to help continue the project.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve sent <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.tv\/2015\/09\/29\/ronald-huereca-designing-plugins-for-release\/\">speakers to WordCamps<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/2016.okc.wordcamp.org\/sponsors\/\">sponsored a local WordCamp<\/a>, and have developed or contributed to <a href=\"https:\/\/profiles.wordpress.org\/bigwing\/#content-plugins\">several WordPress plugins<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We also encourage our developers to attend weekly WordPress meetings during work hours and contribute to WordPress core.<\/p>\n<h2>Looking Forward to the Future<\/h2>\n<p>BigWing is excited for the future of WordPress, especially in regards to our clients. We&#8217;re always looking for the best tools to make our clients&#8217; lives easier and to help them grow their businesses.<\/p>\n<p>With WordPress, we&#8217;re confident in the short and long-term that we can continue to provide value and quality for our clients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we at BigWing Interactive found out a WordCamp was coming to OKC, to say we were excited would be an understatement.
