WordPress Origin Story

While in college studying marketing (2008) I realized a well optimized website was enough in some cases that a business would need no other marketing. Therefore I headed to the IT department & took all the classes they had on building websites. Surprisingly to me I discovered I code code with the best of the IT students. Within a few months I was taking clients. At the time all my websites were hand crafted code written on Notepad++.

After graduation I slowly begin to make the WEB my world, until I was crafting sites & marketing online full time. Along the journey I discovered Drupal 6 & built several sites using both 6 & 7, which was fun. However, there were a few things about Drupal I could not get comfortable with.

Some of the first sites I built that were needing ecommerce were zencart sites, but zencart seemed to be struggling to keep up as a project, so I quickly switched to Magento 1.4 (in 2010).

Finally as a tip from a friend, OK, he really couldn’t stop talking about WordPress, I decided to give it a try. WOW, it was amazing. I jumped into WordPress in 2010 & haven’t looked back!
