About Me

I created my first website in 2014 after taking a WordPress class.  Although the cost of the class was high and the process quite involved, it eventually became easy and soon . . . . . I was hooked!

I realized that I liked the two aspects of building a website:  the artistic design and the logical, technical side.  My artsy side was fulfilled in the past by oil painting (I still have my paints).  The other side, the technical side, has its foundation in my geology degree (and all the calculus, chemistry, and physics along with it). 

The challenge that comes with the process of building a website can be frustrating, but also very rewarding when overcome.  So far, none of my challenges have gone unresolved!

For the last 5 years WordPress.org has been my go-to method of creating websites because it is extremely functional and flexible to whatever your needs.  Add in the Divi theme from Elegant Themes and you have a custom website.  Wix and Weebly are other platforms that I have used for clients, per their request.

Locally I teach Web Creation Workshop to others on how to create their own websites.  Included in my workshop are the basic necessities to creating a website:

• Domain name
• Web hosting
• Theme/layout selection/design
• Site organization
• Menus plugins, and footers
• Pages and posts
• Images, audio, videos, and logo
• Written content
• Maintenance
