My journey with WordPress started during my MBA.

As part of the program, I attended a two-day digital marketing workshop. The workshop introduced us to various tools and platforms, but one name stayed with me long after it ended – WordPress.

At the time, I had no idea that this simple introduction would eventually shape my career.

A year later, I joined a company as a salesperson. My sales manager was an interesting person with a deep interest in numerology, and he ran a personal blog built on WordPress.

Whenever we had some free time, our conversations often drifted toward websites and online businesses. We discussed how WordPress was changing the way websites were built, making it possible for almost anyone to create a professional website without writing code.

Those conversations sparked my curiosity.

Another year passed, and both of us decided to start a new venture together, a holiday timeshare membership resale platform.

When it came to building the website, WordPress was the obvious choice.

Neither of us came from a technical background, but WordPress made the process surprisingly accessible. We built the entire platform ourselves and successfully launched a website that was both functional and professional.

Seeing something we created from scratch go live was an exciting experience.

Then came an unexpected turning point.

A friend saw our website and was impressed by what we had built. He asked if we could create a similar website for his business.

We agreed.

Soon, another request came. Then another.

Friends, business contacts, and referrals started reaching out. Each project brought new challenges, new lessons, and more confidence.

What started as helping a few people gradually turned into something much bigger.

Before long, we realised we weren’t just building websites anymore. We had discovered a genuine business opportunity.

That realization eventually led us to launch our own WordPress web design and development agency, turning a growing passion into a full-time profession.

Today, I have spent more than 9 years working with WordPress.

Through my agency, I help businesses build conversion-focused websites using WordPress, Elementor, WooCommerce, and related technologies.

Over the years, I have worked with clients across multiple countries and trained more than 1,000 students in WordPress website design and no-code development.

Beyond client work, I enjoy sharing knowledge, mentoring aspiring web creators, and contributing to the WordPress community whenever I can.

Looking back, it’s amazing how a two-day workshop, a few conversations, and a series of unexpected opportunities led me into the WordPress ecosystem.

What started as curiosity eventually became a career built around learning, creating, solving problems, and helping others succeed online.
