In today’s world, big ideas don’t need big budgets — just open-source tools, curiosity, and a laptop. This session tells the story of how students and young entrepreneurs can turn small ideas into real digital startups using WordPress and Docker.
We’ll start by exploring how WordPress — the world’s most popular open-source platform — empowers anyone to build a website, store, or community without deep coding knowledge. Then, we’ll introduce Docker as the secret ingredient that makes development faster, cleaner, and more portable.
Through a step-by-step live walkthrough, participants will see how to:
Launch a complete WordPress environment in minutes using Docker Compose.
Customize it for business, blogging, or e-commerce ideas.
Deploy or share it easily across college projects or startup prototypes.
The session will also include stories from local developers and small businesses in Nepal who started with nothing but WordPress and open-source tools — and built something meaningful.
By the end, students will understand that they don’t need expensive hosting or complex infrastructure to start building their dream projects. With WordPress, Docker, and a bit of creative spark, anyone can go from zero to hero — from a laptop idea to a live product.
This talk combines storytelling, practical guidance, and open-source inspiration, making it perfect for students, educators, and young innovators exploring web technology, freelancing, and entrepreneurship.
