    Bio

    Specializing in custom website design for artists, small businesses, and nonprofits.

    Interests

    Art (painting landscapes and flowers) • Technology • Environmental sustainability, oceans, dolphins • Bicycling, sports.

    WordPress Origin Story

    • Started blogging to supplement my teaching tools. First platform was Blogspot. Didn’t like its limitations, esp. the styling, so I switched to WP.
    • My WordPress blog is mostly tutorial, a place where I can share tips and tuts for students, clients, and users. Subjects range from design, development, and WordPress to art, techniques, and learning methods.
    • Created a Youtube channel to supplement the blog posts: https://www.youtube.com/@AskdesignBiz
    • When designing and developing WP sites, I create child themes. For many years, 90% of my sites were built on the Genesis framework.
    • Switched to the Gutenberg editor right away. As I learned more, I dove into designing with FSE. Now using Block themes for all new builds.
