WordPress Origin Story

When I launched RdyToGo in 2010, I needed a CMS I could actually hand off to clients. I evaluated the options and kept coming back to WordPress — not because it was the most powerful, but because it was the most teachable. Alternatives like Drupal made my clients’ eyes glaze over. WordPress made them feel capable. That mattered to me.
So WordPress became the foundation of everything we built. Over the years I watched dozens of small business owners go from “I’m terrified to touch my own website” to confidently managing their content, updating their pages, and understanding what was actually happening under the hood. That transformation never got old.
After a while I realized I was doing a lot of that teaching one client at a time, and that felt like a missed opportunity. The meetup format lets me multiply that impact — helping a room full of people in one session rather than one person at a time. Co-organizing the Myrtle Beach WordPress Meetup has been my way of giving back to a platform that gave my business its footing. Fourteen-plus years later, I’m still using WordPress every week and still teaching it to anyone who’ll sit still long enough to learn.
