Hi everybody,
This plugin, my first plugin ever in the WordPress.org plugin directory!, is an attempt to fill a gap in the use of WordPress as a complete CMS.
A modest attempt by the way 🙂
Through the years and through my experience creating websites based on WordPress for a lot of clients I encounter me once and again with the need of a central place to store all the contact information related to a company.
I encounter me, once and again, hard coding in the footer, in the header and in widgets the most basic contact information. No more of this!!!
Should not there be a specific place in the control panel to store this so basic information?
This plugin is, at the moment, a very basic compilation of the most useful contact data fields that my clients request all the time and the most common social networks they use at default.
I`m already using it in a dozen of sites, implementing it through the functions.php file, but I think it’s time to go public and useful.
I’d love to hear your comment and know of any improvements that you think appropriate.
As you can see, my English is quite limited thus also appreciate any grammatical correction that could you make to the readme.txt file and to these texts.
I hope you find this plugin useful and promising and I count on your help to improve it in any way we can.
This plugin is yours as much as mine! go ahead!
Best regards,
Gonzalo.
