Turns out WordPress is like a swiss pocket knife for a <em>lot<\/em> of use cases.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few years ago, I discovered the Belgian WordPress community. It didn&#8217;t take long before the warm and enthusiastic atmosphere had me sold. Recently, I decided to get involved to try and bring that same feeling to others as well. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m thrilled to support WordCamp Antwerp as best as I can, mainly focusing on all things technical and the website. <\/p>\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\n\n<\/li><li class=\"wordcamp-post-list__post wordcamp-clearfix\">\n<div class=\"wordcamp-organizer wordcamp-organizers__post slug-koen-huybrechts\">\n\t<h3 class=\"wordcamp-block__item-title wordcamp-organizers__title\" style=\"text-align:left\">Koen Huybrechts<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wordcamp-image__avatar-container align-left\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/4efa904acfdcd59778966034d6517e73237a7a8536d10ab6562fbea75b246283?s=150&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g\" alt=\"Avatar of Koen Huybrechts\" \/>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wordcamp-block__item-content wordcamp-organizers__content is-full\"><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After testing lots of CMS&#8217;s over the years, we had the best experience with WordPress. Since that day, all our websites are made in it. Our team AppSaloon (<a href=\"https:\/\/appsaloon.be\">appsaloon.be<\/a>) of 13 creates great WordPress websites and plugins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To achieve this, we received a lot of feedback\/input\/&#8230; from the community and it&#8217;s time to give back to it.
