My Insights on WordPress Design and Development

Overview of WordPress

WordPress is a content management system (CMS) that a website can be built with. There are many other types of websites, I used to build html websites from scratch. I also used to be a Joomla website developer. But WordPress is very popular, having the largest market share of any type of website. The last few companies I have worked for have all focused on WordPress design and development. Therefore, this is where I have spent the bulk of my time as a professional.

My WordPress Experience

I started working with WordPress in 2013. I had been working as a web developer using Joomla websites prior to that.

Since 2013 I have gone on to create my own WordPress plugins along with working on over 1,000 WordPress websites.

My current focus is on helping improve site speed for WordPress websites and developing some tools to help with technical SEO on WordPress websites.
