\"Niklas<\/div>\n

In today\u2019s speaker interview we\u2019re talking with Niklas H\u00f6gefjord, founder of e-commerce oriented Krokedil and organizer of the Arvika WordPress Meetup Group. He will talk at WordCamp Stockholm about supporting open source products.<\/p>\n

What is your current title and role?<\/h2>\n

I’m the founder of Krokedil. My role is to do all the stuff that doesn’t get done by anyone else in the company. On a more serious note I spend my time switching between development, sales and managing staff and projects.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How did you first get started with WordPress?<\/span><\/h2>\n

I was a freelance web developer and around 2006 I realized that the CMS I had built from scratch probably wasn’t the best solution for my clients going forward. I started looking at available open source platforms and used several ones in different projects. But after I found WordPress and did my first project with it (probably around 2007) I never looked back.<\/span><\/p>\n

How do you work with WordPress today?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Krokedil is an e-commerce focused WordPress agency and most of our time is spent on developing, maintaining and supporting extensions for WooCommerce used by merchants in Scandinavia and other parts of the world.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What do you like most about WordPress?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The ease of use and the open and friendly community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How do you see WordPress changing in the next few\u00a0<\/span>years?<\/span><\/h2>\n

WordPress has gone from being a blogging platform to a content management system. I think the usage of WordPress will keep growing but the largest difference in 5 years from now will be that we will see it used more as a headless CMS. A tool to build web applications on top of.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why did you decide to speak about “Skyldig tills motsatsen bevisats \u2013 om support p\u00e5 open source-produkter”<\/em> this\u00a0<\/span>year?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Since we are plugin developers and handle support tickets every day at Krokedil I thought it would be a good idea to share some thoughts and experiences around this topic. Perhaps give a couple of tips on how to get the best possible support when you submit your next ticket.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are there any other sessions at WordCamp Stockholm that you look\u00a0<\/span>forward to?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Since I’m into e-commerce I really look forward to listen to Ulrich Pogson and his talk Building multilingual e-commerce sites<\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
