WordPress powers nearly 25% websites in the world. What started as a simple blog publishing software has now become an application framework that can be used to create personal websites, news portals, eCommerce stores, communities, forums, and almost any kind of website imaginable.
While the demand for WordPress-specific websites is growing with time, the need for professionals to help in creating WordPress websites is on the rise too. Consequently, there are hundreds of WordPress related jobs posted on freelancing platforms like freelancer.com, UpWork, Fiverr, etc. making it a lucrative profession for aspiring developers and freelancers.
WordPress Professionals in Pakistan Take Notice
WordPress users from all over the world organize local events and meetups in their own cities. These events are a great place for beginners to interact with other WordPress users and learn.
Muhammad Kashif, an experienced specialist in WordPress development, has already organized two WordPress Meetups in Lahore successfully.
The third WordPress Meetup, for which Adeel Haider and Muhammad Abubakar are co-organizers along with Kashif,  is set to take place this week in Lahore and everyone can attend.
Event is going to be hosted by TechHub Connect.
Attendees can connect with other industry professionals or just learn about how WordPress can make a difference in their lives.
WordPress Meetups are the starting point, subsequently leading to official WordPress events called WordCamps. These events are supported by the official WordPress foundation. The goal of the Meetups organizers in Pakistan is to pave the way for a large-scale WordCamp Pakistan event.

The registration form alone tells you the level of capability of Pakistani devs. Did no one think of implementing SSL? We are supposed to submit personal info over a clear text connection?
That’s true.
How about you step up, and contribute $100 for an SSL. It’s an open source community, anyone can help.
Or maybe set them up with Let’s Encrypt. I think we can do more if we complain less and help more. What do you think?
