A casual lunch with meaningful conversations and new faces
The May edition of the Durango WordPress Meetup was a small but memorable gathering over lunch at Esoterra Cidery in downtown Durango. We were excited to welcome two new guests, Taylor and Kim, alongside returning attendee Jasper, for a relaxed yet insightful conversation about building and maintaining websites.
Real Conversations for Real Website Challenges
As always, the discussion was wide-ranging and practical. We touched on:
- WooCommerce tips and quirks
- The pros and cons of page builders
- Reliable web hosting choices
- Hiring and communicating with developers
- Driving meaningful traffic to your site
One particularly helpful moment came when we dug into a real-world issue involving unclear pricing from a developer. Together, we helped interpret what was going on and offered actionable suggestions—a great reminder of how valuable a local support network can be.
Building Connections in Our Own Backyard
Beyond the web talk, this meetup delivered something even more important: connection. Meeting new neighbors who are working on similar projects—whether personal blogs, small businesses, or client sites—is what makes this group special. There’s something uniquely energizing about gathering with others who “get it.”
Join Us Next Month
We’ll be back again for lunch on Wednesday, June 18 at Esoterra Cidery. We’ll kick things off with a short discussion on how to use ChatGPT and other large language models as your assistant for managing WordPress websites—from content planning to plugin explanations and even customer support responses.
