    WordPress Origin Story

    During my 11 year career of selling premium waterfront property had a mentor who introduced me to Internet marketing for real estate. Once hooked on IM, and due to my nature conducted a major review of available CMS’s. Albeit with my very limited experience in websites and html, I remembering struggling with the concept of a div at the time.

    WordPress truly stood out to me as the future of easy to Use and flexible software for websites.

    Back at this time I was extremely focused on a bendable system with themes to maximize lead generation for real estate sales, property management and mortgage broking leads.

    WordPress is a fantastic marketing tool that everyone should experience when they want to take control of their online profiles, business and enterprise.
