Why Is This Important?
Everyone needs a website. Period.
How Did You Discover WordPress?
While updating a hex color code manually in 6 places over a 25 page website I cried out in frustration, “There must be a better way!”
And I found it with WordPress.
How Do You Use WordPress?
- I teach students how to build their portfolio sites. I teach them how to integrate social media, email marketing, and ecommerce.
- I build sites for friends and small businesses.
- I maintain a number of client and personal sites.
- I help companies market their goods and services online — starting with WordPress and expanding to other platforms.
How Has WordPress Impacted You?
It’s my bread and butter, baby.
