    WordPress Origin Story

    In my web development adventures, I try to use the right tool for the right job. Turns out WordPress is like a swiss pocket knife for a lot of use cases.

    A few years ago, I discovered the Belgian WordPress community. It didn’t take long before the warm and enthusiastic atmosphere had me sold. Recently, I decided to get involved to try and bring that same feeling to others as well.
