How WiscWeb and StratComm combined forces to bring us the UW Theme 2.0

UW IT Professional Conference

This was a talk our combined teams gave about our experience working together to build the new UW Theme 2.0 theme and suite of plugins.

See more below at the link, but we talked about:

  • understanding the new block-based development environment in WordPress
  • creating a new design system for a custom UW theme and plugins
  • migrating data from ACF fields into WordPress core and custom blocks
  • building everything with accessibility in mind
  • creating educational resources for users and developers across campus
