My journey with WordPress started simply: I needed a better way to build websites that people could actually manage themselves.

At the time, much of my work involved doing things manually. Even a small content change could mean editing code, touching a database or having someone ask me to make the change for them.

WordPress changed that.

What started as another tool in my toolbox gradually became the platform I used for more and more projects. The deeper I went, the more I realised that WordPress was not just about building websites. It was a platform I could extend, adapt and connect to almost anything.

That eventually led me from building websites to developing my own solutions and plugins.

Today, through WebDig.DEV, I build WordPress plugins based on something very simple: problems I encounter in real projects. If I keep running into the same problem, there is probably a better way to solve it – and sometimes that solution becomes a plugin.

So I didn’t really choose WordPress in a single moment.

I just kept using it, building with it and solving problems with it.

And more than 10 years later, I’m still here.
