Creating Websites since 2011 - My Story
“It was 2011 when I first started exploring the idea of building my own website, I spent months digging into the details and learning what to do, where to go, who to trust and so on. On times it was confusing but, let me tell you, it was also FUN!
During the process, I watched every available ‘how to’ video and figured out where to find the latest and the best information. This combined with online training courses, I developed a solid base of knowledge and expertise. I got to know and understand the tools of the trade and created several websites, each with a different purpose – everything from simple blogs to marketing and selling sites. I tried, tested and re-tested themes, plugins, addons and extensions.
After building the first 10 or so websites, I decided to refocus my business from management consulting to mentoring and website design. I ventured out thinking, “this is it. I’m ready to go”.
And I was!
What I hadn’t counted on was that everything is in a state of constant change, particularly in the website world. To keep up with the latest technology and advancements, it was essential to set aside time each week to continue learning.
So I do!”
I continue to totally enjoy website development, combining my passion for writing and design with management consulting and client services.
