WordPress needs little introduction. In ten years, this user friendly content management system has surged in popularity, powering close to 20% of all websites. Amazing.
While it originally began as a blogging platform, it has grown into a powerful CMS used to run corporate websites, community sites, e-commerce sites, and web applications. And maybe a blog here and there.

John is a husband, dad, lover of words, an Austin based WordPress designer and developer, and a pastor. Most of John's life, professional or otherwise, is marked by ongoing creative work: generating content or shaping ideas that didn’t exist before. You can find him on his blog or on twitter muttering thoughts about books, theology, technology and creative work. And maybe some coffee here and there.
