Emily Journey
Hi, I’m Emily. I have been providing website management services to businesses and nonprofit organizations since 2010. I also provide virtual and in-person WordPress training throughout the United States. When I first started learning WordPress, I did it the way many of you have tried: without help. After almost two years of persistent effort, I had a solid handle on the platform. Finally, I felt confident about building a website for someone else! I am the author of Unlocking WordPress, a guide filled with practical tips for WordPress beginners. My path to mastering WordPress led me down a road of trial and error, a bad experience with an affordable website designer, launching my own web design agency, and meeting all kinds of business owners. I love helping business owners leverage technology to increase sales and social impact. I write, speak, and coach full-time.

I love living in Columbus, Ohio with my husband Matt.

Hi, I’m Amy. I am the Director of Social Media Management for WP Artisans and a native Ohio-an. I moved to Asheville, NC in 2015, where I now work remotely, helping businesses build a winning social media strategy and executing it from the ground-up. Helping clients relay their message and share their brand through social media is the highlight of my position. Living in the NC mountains with my family is what inspires me every day.
