About us

WordPress Faro is a local community of WordPress users, developers, designers, entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts based in the Algarve, Portugal.
Our goal is simple: create an open space where people interested in WordPress can meet regularly, share knowledge, exchange experiences, and strengthen the local ecosystem of professionals and creators working with the platform.

A regional community connected to the national ecosystem
While the group is locally organized and independent, it is part of the wider Portuguese WordPress ecosystem. We collaborate and stay connected with the broader community through initiatives such as meetups in other cities and national events promoted by the Portuguese WordPress community.
Our aim is to represent and grow the WordPress community in the Algarve, contributing to the national network while focusing on the needs and interests of our region.

What we do
We organize regular in-person meetups across the Algarve, typically including:

Technical talks and presentations
Practical workshops and demos
Open discussions and networking
Community-driven sessions

Topics range widely across the WordPress ecosystem, including:

Development and performance
Plugins and integrations
AI and emerging technologies
WooCommerce and e-commerce
Design, UX, and accessibility
Business and freelancing with WordPress

What we’ve done so far
Since launching the meetup, we’ve hosted sessions covering topics such as:

Integrating AI services into WordPress applications
Building WooCommerce stores
WordPress performance optimisation
Membership and LMS platforms on WordPress

These events bring together developers, freelancers, agencies, students, and business owners interested in learning and sharing knowledge.

Looking ahead
We plan to continue organizing regular meetups with guest speakers, community talks, and practical sessions that help people improve their skills and connect with others working with WordPress.
Whether you're a beginner exploring WordPress or an experienced developer building complex solutions, you're welcome to join us.

All meetups are free and open to everyone.
