Since the dawn of the web industry the debate has raged. Hourly vs Value-based.
Hourly billing only allows you to get paid for the time it takes to do something. Plus, there is no incentive to create something great, or quick. And because you’re selling time you have a limited supply. So you lose!
Value-based billing has as many definitions as it does flaws. How are you going to convince a client to share the value of success? And what if you don’t reach those goals, do you give money back?
What are pros and cons of both models? Which model is for an digital agency and which is better

This session will examine some common mistakes made within ecommerce & how you can avoid pratfalls that damage the bottom line and your online reputation. I will draw on real life examples and how an organisation can plan to avoid ecommerce disasters. This will not be Joomla! specific.

WordPress is better!
Drupal is better!
Joomla! is better!
Sound familiar? The open source community has the habit only to look inside ourselves and never look what else might be going on in the other communities or projects. As someone who currently serves on leadership for Joomla and also the evangelist of BoldGrid has seen the best of multiple open source communities. I have seen patterns emerge across our communities.
This talk will explore my experience being married to open source. I will also explore the ways the communities support each other through initiatives such as CMS Garden (An initiative to promote all major open source CMS projects). I will also share the top things I learned about myself and the combined future of an open source web.

Joomla 3.7 introduces a very welcome new feature, Custom Fields for the core content types. Out of the box you can add custom fields to Content, Contacts, Users and 3rd party addons can add support too.
For many sites, simple Joomla content items don’t offer enough flexibility to meet the website owner’s requirements.
An estate agency/realtor’s site will need energy or survey reports, floorplans, pricing, broadband availability, address information, school catchment etc.
A cookery website will need recipes with lists of ingredients, preparation instructions, nutritional information etc.
Clubs and societies need additional information about their users - membership numbers, qualifications etc.
Etc.
There are many addons to Joomla, sometimes known as CCKs or Directories, that allow you to create structured content for your website. It is also possible to create have user profile plugins to extend user data. But most of these are often complex to manage, unintuitive and become expensive to maintain and users often yearn for the simplicity of Joomla content items. With the release of Joomla 3.7 many site developers will be able to use Joomla Custom Fields to meet their requirements without the need to use complex CCKs and user profile plugins.
In this talk we will show you how Joomla 3.7 custom fields work - creating fields in Joomla content, contacts and user profiles. We will show you how you can setup different fields for different content types and customise the output using template overrides.
We will then introduce a new tool to make managing Joomla custom fields easier and more powerful.
Making it easier to create customise content creation and output that varies by content types (e.g. recipes vs chefs)
Allowing the output of fields to be conditional on the value of others
Allowing you to customise list views (such as the featured articles) differently to individual articles
Allowing you to filter menu item output by custom field values
All of this whilst continuing the use the core Joomla custom fields.

Your CMS just notified you that there's an update for an extension you are using due to security reasons. You install it happily and go about your way, resting assured that your site is now better protected against hackers. What if I told you that your site just got hacked instead?
In this session we'll talk about core and extensions update security, public key cryptography and how we could make Joomla! a forerunner in update security - without even breaking a sweat or backwards compatibility.
Disclaimer: I am not in the Joomla leadership and I have no say on future features of Joomla. This presentation will hopefully get a serious discussion started around update security which could lead into its implementation in future versions of the CMS. If you're in the PLT you are more than welcome to join us and offer your input!

In this session, I hope to introduce a strategy and thought process that will help make the Joomla! ecosystem more sustainable and create more opportunities for growth. I will also explore who are Joomla's users & markets and how we can best service them and also expand into newer markets. In the last 10 years, The Internet has evolved from being a geek’s paradise to a consumer ecosystem.
