Been building the internet for almost 20 years.
I design software to suit the needs of humans—in this case photographers.
Been a photographer for almost 20 years as well!
I have a focus on landscape and astrophotography.
We are the people behind WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Jetpack, Simplenote, Longreads, VaultPress, Akismet, Gravatar, Polldaddy, Cloudup, and more. We believe in making the web a better place.
Basically WP is software—it's a Content Management System (CMS) for websites.
Open Source. Free. Tens of thousands of contributors. Huge world-wide community.
Download at WordPress.org
Unlike most website building companies, with WP you own your site and your content. You can run a WordPress website on a server in your closet if you want to.
Endlessly customizable. With the right know-how, folks can do anything with WP. You can build or download thousands of plugins—third party tools that add functionality—for free.
DIY. All begins with finding hosting:
Shared hosting vs. Virtual Private Server (VPN).
This is referred to as "self-hosted."
