Hi, I'm Aurelia. I started coding websites in HTML, CSS and JS over 10 years ago before I found and fell in love with Wordpress. With its flexibility, Wordpress allows me to create websites faster with a built in Client Dashboard allowing clients to complete simple edits themselves. I consider myself somewhere in between a Designer and a Developer. My understanding of the Wordpress environment, PHP coding, setting up hosting environments, DNS goes beyond that of a designer yet I also create designs that are clean, organized and very intuitive. I love developing content strategy and have many happy clients as reflected in my reviews. I care about all my clients and strive to provide the best and painless experience possible. FUN Fact - I also teach the Front End Web Developer Certificate program at SDCCE!
