I make WordPress websites for nonprofits and other mission-driven organizations as MRW Web Design. I offer tons of free advice for nonprofits using WordPress at Nonprofit WP.

WordPress Origin Story

A middle school summer camp about web design led to high school and college summer internships and jobs. When I decided to go it on my own, I looked around at the various CMSes to build my business around. I had experience with Joomla and Drupal, so I chose WordPress… And lived happily ever after. The End.
