Whatness Websites & Words – Owner, Business Development & Technology<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jim started his first WordPress blog in the middle of 2005. He quickly learned his way around the backend to create the look and feel he desired. Later he used his Linux and programming past to hack code together in an effort to get even closer to his vision of a perfect website. In 2010 Jim began partnering with Shelby and quickly learned that Comic Sans was not a good choice for, well anything! Working together from that point on, Jim has managed the backend technology of as many as 20 websites while Shelby takes care of the front-end design, typography, and most importantly proofreading. Jim also has a few other businesses he’s involved with and in all those businesses one of his key focuses is driving sales which he prefers to call business development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
