The Decline
Earlier this year my wife Gemma and I took a short trip to Berlin. It is a place we have always wanted to visit and it didn’t disappoint. It is a city full of history, interesting architecture and most importantly, great food! Walking back to our hotel one evening, we discovered a building that stood…

How WordPress Changed My Life
Growing up, I’ve always been very creative and drew a lot, perhaps influenced by my dad who has exceptional drawing skills, but I never thought I’d become a designer. In the early 2000s, I had an idea. I wanted a place where I could share my illustrations online. I wasn’t sure what to call it,…

Don’t Forget to Eat Your Accessibilitables!
Earlier this year I designed and developed a new free theme for WordPress called TextBook. It is intended to be used by people and organizations who have a focus on education.

Twenty minutes with your customers
WooCommerce is the most popular way to run a store on WordPress. Because of the nature of WordPress, we don’t have a way to see how people are using WooCommerce like we could if we were hosting the software, but that’s the beauty of open source. We’ve found the best way to learn more about…
