Many of my clients use WordPress so I help them understand how to use it and what they can do with it.

What does the WordCamp theme Discovery mean to you?

You can have the most beautiful, fastest, most informative website in the world, but if the right people can’t find it, it won’t help your business. A big part of my job is helping clients discover who their target audience is and how, in turn, to be discovered by them.
