WordPress Origin Story

I’ve developed a couple of websites using my own themes, which I continue to maintain and improve. One of them is a bespoke database system with lots of custom forms so every page is individually coded. The other came about because I wanted a specific combination of features. This doesn’t make me a WP expert but I’m comfortable writing PHP, JS, SQL and CSS. My own website uses a standard theme with just a bit of CSS tweaking.
