Email: WordPress: Why I Use It, Recommend It, and Build Digital Projects Around It

WordPress: Why I Use It, Recommend It, and Build Digital Projects Around It

I use WordPress, create plugins and customize themes for WordPress, operate a specialized WordPress site hosting service, and provide commercial support to small businesses and nonprofits.

Examples of my work include:

The RSVPMaker events and email marketing plugin I've been supporting and enhancing since 2010.
Support for the Swank Specialty Produce website and particularly the Swank Table gourmet dinner series, with event listings, RSVPs, and payments managed using RSVPMaker.
Support for the Florida Bulldog, a nonprofit investigative news website, including email newsletter distribution of new stories using RSVPMaker and the Postmark service.
Toastmost.org, a website hosting service for Toastmasters clubs and districts, using RSVPMaker for guest RSVPs and extensions for agenda and membership management. One recent addition is a Toastmost mobile app for iOS and Android (created with the React Native framework) that connects with club websites.

If you'd like to work with me, my contact info is below, but first I'd like to explain my enthusiasm for and obsession with WordPress. Like any software I've ever worked with, it has features that drive me crazy. But I love it, warts and all.

Originally created by bloggers for bloggers, WordPress is the word's most popular website building software but also faces increasing competition from website builders and digital publishing tools including Wix, Ghost, Substack, Medium, Canva's web page builder, and many more.

Depending on what you want to do online, any one of those platforms might be right for you.
