WoofCamp for DARG – a gentle reminder to do your bit!

With the event just around the corner, we are furiously working on the finishing touches so that we make sure we hold an unforgettable event.

While we’re doing everything possible to make sure you thoroughly enjoy the day with us, we also want to really try and make a difference in the lives of those creatures less fortunate than ourselves.

As you know we’ve been campaigning for the Domestic Animal Rescue Group (DARG) during the build up to WordCamp Cape Town 2012. Please remember that we will have a donation box on arrival for any old blankets and cat and dog food, as well as a box for any cash contributions you might want to make on the day of the event.

Every little bit helps – even if it’s R10!

About Ash Shaw

I founded LightSpeed in 2003 as an IT support company, and by 2007 we had fully embraced WordPress, evolving into a design and development agency. Since 2014, LightSpeed has been fully remote, working with clients across industries while keeping roots in Cape Town — a city where the mountains and sea are never more than a short ride away. Today, our focus is on building scalable, content-first WordPress and WooCommerce solutions. We’re behind open-source projects like the LSX Design System, LSX Design block theme, and Tour Operator plugin, and continue to champion workflows that empower both businesses and developers. I’ve also had the privilege of speaking at WordCamp Europe 2025, and serving on the Volunteers Team at WordCamp Europe 2024, experiences that deepened my commitment to giving back to the community that shaped my career. Outside of building, I’m a regular guest on OpenChannels.FM podcasts and have appeared on BugHerd webinars, sharing insights on workflows, remote agency life, design systems, accessibility, and the future of WordPress development.
