Margherita Pelonara (@margheweb) – WordPress user profile

Bio

Ciao!
I am Margherita Pelonara, I am 47 years old, I have a husband, 2 sons (27 and 17 years old), 2 cats and an insane addiction to lipsticks (and WordPress, of course!). I help freelance women who want to take their businesses and their lives to the next level: I build websites with WordPress, fix them, update them and teach them how to use them.
Always in love with the Web, I am a WordPress “artisan” since 2013, a WordPress trainer, a passionate advocate of accessibility, a champion of sharing (on social network) and a feminist.

If WordPress is involved, it is quite likely that I will be there.

Interests

People, cats, stationary & lipsticks. Not necessarily in that order.

WordPress Origin Story

I got to know the web in 1996, when I chose the hotel for my honeymoon because it had a nice website. Since then it has been just love and the only times we have had a fight it has always been the fault of the poor quality of the network signal.

WordPress entered my life by force, at the behest of the owner of the sad provincial web agency where I worked, churning out a website every 2 weeks – officially as web designer, but often doing tasks as art director, project manager, web design, copy and graphics, too, practically all by myself) . It was in 2013: intimidated, I started the installation unwillingly and out of a sense of duty. An installation that lasted less than 5 minutes: I never went back because an incredible feeling was immediately born!

Many things have changed since then: I build WordPress websites for women solopreneurs and frelancers, I founded the WordPress Meetup in Ancona in 2016 and organize (nearly) monthly meetings, I attended as a speaker at some WordCamps and Meetup:
– WordCamp Bari 2018 (talking about web accessibility);
– WordCamp Bari 2019 (talking about new Gutenberg Editor);
– WordPress Meetup Teramo (October 2019, talking about accessibility);
– WordCamp Italia 2020 (talking about web accessibility);
– WordCamp Torino 2023 (talking about self promotion for solopreneurs);
– WordPress Rome Community Day 2023 (Next Gen Event – moderating a panel and leading a workshop on diversity and inclusion);
– WordCamp Verona 2023 (talking with Simona Simionato about DEIB);
– WordPress Meetup Zagarolo (April 2024, talking about the empowerment of women through the development of their own WordPress-based business)
– WordPress Valencia Diversity Day 2024 (talking about equity and belonging).

As WordPress Foundation’s Kim Parsell Memorial Scholarship Recipient in 2022, I could attend WordCamp US in San Diego (CA). I was one of 125 people invited to join and discuss at WordPress Community Summit in National Harbor (MD) in 2023.
