WordPress Origin Story

My journey with WordPress started with pure curiosity. I was always fascinated by how websites worked, and I wanted to build something of my own. After experimenting with different platforms, I stumbled upon WordPress—and it completely changed my path.

At first, it was just about tweaking themes and exploring plugins. But soon, I started diving into custom coding, creating functions, and building full-fledged websites. Each challenge pushed me to learn more, and before I knew it, I was taking on client projects, crafting custom solutions, and optimizing websites for performance and conversions.

Over the years, WordPress became more than just a platform—it became a community.
