Your website deserves a Black Friday GRWM, too. Shop your own store like a customer would, then do it again on your phone. Anything clunky? Better to find it now than in the middle of holiday traffic.

The best way to learn how to build for the web? Build something real. Through WordPress.com Education, two master’s students in UX design at UDIT built a website for Odón Solar, a Spanish clean energy nonprofit that didn’t have the resources to build one on its own.

We teamed up with @wordpress.org Credits, UDIT’s Master’s in UX program, and Economistas sin Fronteras to match the students with the nonprofit. 125 hours later, the students had a real client project in their portfolios and Odón Solar had a site it could actually use.

The email landed. The post took off. Everyone clicked. We love this for you. Now let's make sure your website loves it, too. Black Friday is still a few weeks away, which makes now a pretty good time to check how your site is performing.

AI can build a website in minutes, but it still can't decide what ships. That's the takeaway from Automattic for Agencies' latest webinar on AI and @wordpress.org, led by AI Product Lead @ronnieburt.com.

"These models know WordPress better than just about anything else," Burt shared during the webinar. But across every demo, the pattern held: AI reads the logs, reasons through the fix, drafts the answer. The human still makes the call.
