I’ve been creating websites with WordPress for about 7 years now. It started out being something I was just dabbling in, and never anticipated that it would become a focal point of my career. My Dad is a Graphic Designer, and I grew up watching him create packaging, signage, and everything else that goes a long with print design, before he transitioned to web. I never thought I would be interested in what he does, and I think if it wasn’t for the internet taking over, I probably wouldn’t be. What I love about creating websites with WordPress is it’s not purely design. And it’s also not purely development either. You get to marry the two and do both. Or just focus on one and outsource the other. I love that WordPress empowers users to do things that used to require a team of people with all different skill sets to do. It’s that empowerment that eventually led me to open up Tim Strifler Online Solutions to create WordPress websites for small to midsize business owners. It’s the experience I’ve learned along the way that I hope to share on WP the Podcast, as well as in the future online courses that David and I will be creating. Additionally, I have a product business called Divi Life, which sells plugins and child themes for the Divi theme framework. Divi Life allows me to create something that gets used by thousands of people which is a pretty great feeling. Additionally, I share my passion in two popular WordPress focused podcasts, WP the Podcast & Divi Chat.
