I love using creativity and technology to turn meaningful ideas into something practical, beautiful and helpful. In WordPress, I enjoy designing professional websites, exploring new ways to improve the visitor experience, and helping churches, ministries, organisations, and businesses communicate their purpose more effectively. I particularly enjoy working with WordPress and Divi, developing thoughtful layouts, presenting content clearly and finding creative solutions to challenges. More recently, I have begun developing my own WordPress plugin—EAW Quotes & Testimonials Studio—which brings together my interests in inspirational words, personal stories, design and technology. Outside WordPress, much of what I enjoy is still centred on creativity, faith and service. I love writing, researching, designing publications and producing resources that encourage, inform and inspire people. I am especially interested in preserving people’s stories, celebrating their lives and helping individuals and families communicate experiences that deserve to be remembered. I also enjoy learning about new technology and discovering how it can support churches, communities and organisations. Even after approximately 35 years of designing websites, I remain curious. I still enjoy the moment when a blank page becomes a finished creation—something with purpose, personality and the ability to make a positive difference in someone’s life. Whether I am working inside or outside WordPress, the common thread is simple: I love creating things that serve people, preserve meaningful stories and leave something valuable behind.

My journey into website design began approximately 35 years ago, long before creating a professional website became as accessible as it is today. In those early years, I worked with tools such as Microsoft FrontPage, learning through experience how to transform ideas, information and purpose into something people could explore online.

When WordPress arrived, it felt like an important turning point. It offered a more flexible, powerful way to build websites while still letting the owner of a website manage and develop them over time. I transitioned from FrontPage to WordPress and later discovered the Divi theme. That combination became the foundation of my website-design work for many years.

Since then, I have used WordPress and Divi to design numerous professional websites for churches, organisations, businesses, ministries and community projects. Each website has offered a new opportunity to learn, solve problems, and help someone communicate their vision more effectively.

Now, in my later years, I remain as fascinated as ever by what can be created online. My WordPress journey has grown from building individual websites to developing my own plugin, EAW Quotes & Testimonials Studio. For me, this represents a natural continuation of that journey: moving from using digital tools to creating something that may help other WordPress users tell their stories, share meaningful words, and present the experiences of the people they serve.

WordPress has accompanied me through a remarkable period of change on the web. What began with FrontPage and a desire to build useful websites has become more than three decades of creativity, service and continual learning, and I am still excited about what I can build next. Errol
