Thank You Creole Studios for being our Jazz (Gold) Sponsor

Creole Studios – Jazz (Gold) Sponsor

It gives us immense pleasure to announce Creole Studios as our Jazz (Gold) Sponsor. We are very happy to have their support to make the WordCamp happen. The whole WordCamp Ahmedabad team earnestly thank Creole Studios for sponsoring the WordCamp Ahmedabad 2019.

We are a young software design and development studio with lofty dreams. We spread our wings and set flight in 2014, and since then be it good days or bad days, we’ve loved what we do and we’re super passionate about modern day software and the impact it has on human lives.

We build mobile apps, cloud systems and websites, but its more than just ‘projects’ for us. For us, its like we get to live our dreams every day. Designing good software, writing good code, seeing it used in real world and people benefiting from it is what gets us out of bed everyday.

Among the plethora of open source technologies, and content management systems out there today, WordPress has won our hearts multiple times over for numerous reasons. But this love affair of ours with WordPress didn’t start overnight. We tried out all the CMS solutions that are out there in the market. But nothing could fill the hole our heart in a way WordPress did.

We started our WP journey with version 4.0. We used to develop simple websites and integrate basic plug-ins for simple features. From there, half a decade later, we’ve matured significantly just as WordPress did from 4.0 to WordPress 5.0. Today, we’ve got a team of ‘Wordpress Wizards’ comprising of veteran programmers as well as young thoroughbreds who work tirelessly to create ‘magic’!

So far, we’ve created our own custom WordPress plug-ins, elaborate e-commerce marketplaces, new age social networks, blogs that are by read millions of viewers, forums that are hot with action and engagement, and a zillion other things. Basically, we’re confident of creating any web product today using WordPress that people can build in any other technology.

We’ve got a WordPress bucket-list. From the development side we’re checking off items faster than ever. But we’ve got several non-development items as well. We wish to give back to the awesome WordPress community that has given us so much, and our participation and association with WordCamp is one of our ways to do that.

We also plan to become code-contributors to the WordPress community as well. We’ll share themes, plug-ins and several code repositories for free that’d be helpful to other budding fellow WordPress programmers. But all that’s for times to come. Right now, we’re all in for the next WordCamp and we couldn’t be more excited to meet everyone there and extend our gratitude and our journey so far. Thank you to the WordCamp team for giving us this opportunity.

Sponsors are an integral part of all the WordCamps over the globe including #WCAhmedabad. With their support, we keep the ticket price as low as possible and try our best possible efforts to provide better facilities and memorable experience at WordCamp Ahmedabad. So, during WordCamp Ahmedabad, don’t forget to visit their booths, say hello to them, network, and talk about their services and products.
