"Design to Statamic 5 in 40 minutes" at PHPxADL
Looking for Statamic 6? Got you covered with "Design to Statamic 6 in 40(ish) minutes"
I was really excited for this one… I mean, anyone can go to the docs and read, and anyone can install Statamic and have a play (however that can be intimidating when you’re new to all of the terminology). So this got me thinking: what about a practical demonstration of using Statamic including setting up foundations for some (opinionated) best practices?
And this is where it landed.
Originally it was “Design to Statamic in 30 minutes” but even with my super fast talking, that was just far too tight, so am super thankful I could push for an extra 10 minutes.
In this talk, I take a design in Figma for my awesome Leaf company (read the content, it sounds like such an awesome business), and do a new Statamic install, and build up the home page from scratch.
This talk goes through the initial setup, translating a design to the terminology in the Statamic world, and then getting set up with neat file structure, setting up Globals, Navigation, Blueprints, Fieldsets, Assets, and of course content authoring with it all.
Get ready for a whirlwind look at building (the foundations of) a site in Statamic in 40 minutes.
