    Bio

    My name is Jon Bishop and I’m a Creative Technologist and Marketing Consultant based in Denver by way of Boston. I’ve been building websites for over 20 years and WordPress has been at the core of that journey, from themes and plugins to custom tools for marketers and businesses. These days I focus on freelancing and consulting, helping teams level up with smart strategy, clean code and emerging tech like generative AI. I still love creating with WordPress and contributing when I can. You might find me testing ideas, speaking at meetups, or chasing my dog down a trail between projects.

    WordPress Origin Story

    I started building websites in the late ’90s and spent a lot of time experimenting with Flash and hand-coded PHP. As the web evolved, I looked for a better way to manage content and stumbled across WordPress in its early days. It was simple, flexible and open, exactly what I needed. I moved my personal blog to WordPress in 2008 and started creating plugins and themes soon after. Over time, it became central to a lot of my client work and side projects. Even as my focus has shifted to broader creative technology and AI, WordPress is still where I go when I want to build fast and iterate freely.
