WordPress Origin Story

I discovered WordPress back in 2006 when I set up a website for my sister-in-law who owned Women’s Adventure Magazine. I continued to set up websites on a volunteer basis until 2015 when I began setting up sites for my employer, a nonprofit organization. In 2018 I quit my job and started my own company, serving nonprofits and small businesses, setting up and managing websites.
