Thumbs-up, Coffee, Pyjamas, and Rabbit Holes: our Summer Internship Program
Compared to other tech companies, we have a relatively small (well, tiny) team to be taking on summer interns. But we felt it would be a valuable learning experience, both for our intern/s and for us.
This summer, we offered our first ever internship program. We now introduce our interns and hear a little bit about their experiences over the past 8 weeks.
WooCommerce Vancouver May and July 2016 Recap
My how time flies! We’ve had two excellent WooCommerce meetups in Vancouver since the last time I wrote a recap, sharing more knowledge than a Wikipedia page. I attempted to condense the wisdom of Joey and his talk about best practices for your WooCommerce store.
Austintatious 2016 Wrap-up
Prospress recently hung out in Austin, Texas for our company meetup. We drank a LOT of excellent coffee, and ate our way through tacos, BBQ, doughnuts, and pizza. We also did laser tag, yoga, and just a little bit of work.
Hello Woorld!
We are excited to share the news that the official launch of our Small Woorld website took place on April 06 2016! In future, all of our interviews with WooCommerce entrepreneurs will be published on the Small Woorld site. This represents a change in direction for the “Prospress blog”, which will now focus more on company related news and posts.
WooCommerce Vancouver March 2016 recap
This was the first WooCommerce Vancouver meetup for 2016 as we took quite a long break over the holidays, but it was a meetup worth waiting for. We were lucky to have Behdad Berati to talk about WooCommerce and Google Analytics 101
WooCommerce London November 2015 Recap
This meetup! This meetup was a perfect storm! It was brilliant! It ended up being brilliant, despite all the things that went wrong. We learned about using plugins and getting plugins to play nicely with each other, and picked up other nuggets of wisdom along the way.

WooCommerce Melbourne September 2015 Recap
The first WooCommerce meetup in Australia was held on September 24th, and I was sent down to Melbourne to share the Prospress love and chat all things WooCommerce. Just under 25 locals attended the first meetup which was held in the office of the Emote Digital team. There were many familiar faces amongst the crowd (some of whom I have met previously overseas at #WooConf, and here in Australia at previous WordCamps).
WooCommerce London September 2015 Recap
This Monday we had our September London WooCommerce meetup, hosted by Realex Payments. With Marina out of town, it was up to Elliot and myself to orchestrate everything.
The London meetups usually start out with networking, talking amongst each other, consumption of refreshments. We planned a Q&A session where those who came could ask questions, and we’d try to answer them using our collective knowledge about all the things: Paul and Alan from Realex about the nitty gritty of payments, Elliot about the business cases, and myself mostly about developer focused topics.
WooConf 2014: The Best WooConf Ever
WooThemes may have peaked too early… We have no idea how they are going to top their first WooConf, held November 3rd and 4th in San Francisco.
The Prospress team were thrilled to be a part of it, and all agree that the event totally exceeded our expectations!
For anyone that missed out (or if you want to relive the experience) we’ve pulled together all the links we could find in a recap, so that you can try to recreate the experience in your own home.
Be warned though, the teams at WooThemes and A2E did an amazing job decking out The Village with purple hues and creative touches (WooThemes jenga, nerdy terreriums), which would be hard to replicate.
But perhaps you can dust off your purple lava lamp (or stick some purple cellophane over a light), mix yourself a Bloody Mary, and begin to recreate the vibe…
