HTML5 evolution in WordPress

It all started in 2010. HTML5 was born and slowly developed and hardly adopting into the world of WordPress. After some time it became widely used and considered as a proper way to enhance WordPress templates mostly for mobile web.

So what is HTML5?

It is basically an evolution of HTML developed since 2004. There have been many changes but most  significant are adding header, footer, navigation bars, new form inputs or media elements which supports audio & video which is a great feature if you want to change the content.

To built mobile-friendly websites HTML5 is the right tool. In general it is helping to make websites faster and more interactive.

The Beginning

Back in 2011 there was the revolutionary theme called “Twenty Eleven” with new features of 3.0/3.2 and interesting design changes on top of that “Twenty Eleven” was the first one supporting HTML5 & CSS3 and that was truly a breakthrough. Additional support of these HTML5 tags <header>, <footer>, <aside>, <article>, <time> easily styled by using CSS gives more power and efficiency to developers who are able to create forms with various input types, support of different media formats.

The Rise

After implementing HTML5 to the 'Twenty Eleven' most of the others themes did the same. That's how HTML5 was slowly making it's way to the top and nowadays it is a feature which is one of the most required when people are making decision whether to buy template or no. Check out collection of the Best HTML5 WordPress Themes.

Frameworks

HTML5 Frameworks can achieve things which were couple of years ago just dream unless you were a high skilled programming language user. With good WordPress theme frameworks 80% of your work is already done before you even begin and the rest is enough to make design unique. Here are some popular frameworks which also support HTML5.

- Carrington

Plugins

On top of all these advantages out there exists hundreds of plugins making HTML5 even much more useful. You can insert HTML5 audio and video or change divs to HTML5 elements so you can create HTML5 forms. The opportunities are almost infinite.

Conclusion

Since 2010 there was slow progress in development in the beginning however after year 2011 the wheels started to spin much faster and HTML5 has made a significant mark into the WordPress which would never be the same as before 2011.

Create Your Online Resume Using WordPress

To have a nice resume means a lot but if you won't show off your experiences people will simply overlook your qualities. Besides uploading a resume on sites like LinkedIn or CareerBuilder there is another powerful option. Place your resume directly to your WordPress website.

Here are some tips how you can show off your resume

1. Create a simple and clean page by using text and images which can be maintained by hand

2. Try to use plugins that are made for work with resumes

3. Put links to your LinkedIn resume through pages and posts

Once you've created your resume there are basically two ways how to display it on a website. The first option is to put resume on a front page so every visitor will spot it immediately. Second option is to make it as one of your sub-pages but don't forget to highlight it. However with a lot of a content on a website your resume can get lost easily but on the other hand the more content you have the more potential visitors you can attract.

Sections for a resume

You can improvise and tailor the resume to a specific group you would like to target or to make it more universal inspire yourself with portals like LinkedIn, CareerBuilder. But the most common section are:

• Contact Info
• Summary
• Experience
• Education
• Skills
• Certificates
• Work History
• References

Be creative, use links to your previous work, previous employers, use graphics, colors, fonts, etc.

If you want to be different and have a unique resume you have to create it by hand. Only this way you can use 100% of your creativity and imagination.

If you don't want to spent too much time by playing around with unique design and you are fine with the plugins with performed style go for it! There are plenty of options but basically just two types of plugins available. One that let you create resume and the other one that will let you link to your resume from another network.

One very popular and easy to maintain plugin is called Resume Builder. Everything is already set up and ready to publish all you need to do is to fill in the information. You can even have more resumes and decide which resumes to publish on which pages. 

WP LinkedIn is a powerful option that allows you to connect your website and LinkedIn account. By using shortcodes it is easy to post it post or page. One of many advantages of connecting WordPress website and LinkedIn account is the fact that when you update LinkedIn resume the resume on website is updated automatically.

Story of Construction WordPress Themes

I’ve been using wordpress for more than 4 years and it always surprise me when I see new usage implementations to different and new sectors. I had bumped into quite a lot of construction templates for building, architecture, developing companies and I really loved them. Therefore I decided to put the best ones together and create collection of the best construction wordpress themes.

What I like about it is it’s flexibility and possibilities. You can use those templates for creating professional websites of large companies which build hundreds of buildings a year or you can use it for single solicitor, like electrician, plumber, gardener or any other type of profession in the field. You can hire somebody to do the job for you or you can take a little break from your routine and do a bit of web designing for a change. Believe me or not, you can do it! Everybody can do it!

There are plenty of videos and forums with tons of tutorials how to install wordpress, how to set up cpanel or how to get your template installed. Once you get this done, you can open your theme documentation and step by step start adding your business information, content and photos.

In my collection of construction wordpress themes you can find best of the best! You don’t have to stress out if the template is good enough, responsive or supported enough. All these factors are already checked for you, all you need is to spend few bucks and then get enough courage. You don’t need to pay designer or developer to get your website done. If you got some spare time and you can use google, you’ll be able to setup your template by yourself.
