Bio

Hi, Nico here. I’m a Millennial that’s been fortunate enough to have had computers in the house from ever since I could remember – booting from a floppy, monochrome Frogger, DOS, WordPerfect and Lotus 123, Creative sound, Voodoo graphics, 3dfx games, CD-writers, copper lines, file-sharing and now, fast internet. These days I spent the majority of my time in front of a computer screen, trading the financial markets & creating with WordPress (and the odd architectural drawing).

WordPress Origin Story

My first introduction to WordPress was when receiving a wedding invite from my cousin – a digital one created with WordPress. This planted a seed as I thought, ‘if he could do it, so can I’. Shortly thereafter, I helped a colleague with his HTML website and saw the CMS capabilities of WordPress would be a huge time-saver, so we switched over. One thing led to another and every new project opened up a whole new world of opportunities. That was over ten years and over 100 WordPress websites ago. Practice makes perfect, and what was once a hobby turned into a profitable venture. Time flies when you are having fun.
