Organizer Role:  Eatery and Restaurant Liaison

Clare Parkinson uses WordPress to build websites for small businesses and non-profits, from out-of-the-box installation with a theme setup & a few plugins, to creating a child theme or other custom functionality the client needs to be built in PHP. She has been building websites with database-driven content management systems since the 90’s, and Ioves how easy WordPress is to set up, customize, and extend.

How else do you use WordPress and how did you get involved in WordCamp?

I attended WordCamp in 2011 and 2012. I had a great time, learned a lot, and met many wonderful people. I’m happy to be able to help make WordCamp the great experience it is! One of the best things about WordPress is that there’s so much information freely available online; it’s easy to teach yourself whatever you need to know. But there’s nothing like getting involved with the community in person, and learning from people first hand. You can learn so much so quickly at WordCamp!
