WordPress Origin Story

I started in the mid 90’s – the early days of web – with static HTML, frames, tables, marquees, »optimized for«-badges, … Luckily I survived the browser wars. First interactive services were build on Perl, later on PHP/MySQL. Trashed old-fashioned frame- and table-layout-paradigms and followed semantic web and CSS around the millenium turn. Tried to have good usability and accessability rather than exact-pix-designs. Had no clue that this would be called »responsive« somewhat later. Also the idea of giving customers an extra value with tipps and tricks on a webpage instead of silly »we do …, we are …, we can …«-pages took place. Some called that content-marketing later on.

As my new business unit »MacSupport« should have a better tool for that, than my handcoded PHP-»blog« used for my webdesign-business WordPress reached me at version two-point-something. At these times I could have spotted WordPress sites just by looking at them, as their design was more or less Kubrick. Or something that looked and was structured like Kubrik, just with other images or colors. No WordPress experience whatsoever, but started to code my own theme. An of course making everything wrong one could do wrong. But hey, I was a completely different »four column high gloss magazin style« layout and the footer »proudly powered by WordPress« was the only hint on the frontend. It was a dramatically different WordPress theme an no one would have spotted WordPress as CMS at first sight.

Getting in contact with the community 2012 @ WPCamp Berlin really switch me on. Real cool and chilled people behind a real cool project. I knew I had to become part of that! Even more as I noticed that I had some experiences that were welcome to be shared.
