Introduction
WordPress has evolved a lot since its beginnings—from a simple blog CMS to a full-fledged CMS used for a wide range of projects: simple websites, online shops, complex multi-site projects communicating with a wide range of APIs.
As the usage of WordPress in our company increased, we thought it would be a good idea to define a set of style guides for the projects we work on. The following handbook gives an insight into our way of working on WordPress projects.
