I&#8217;m Steve, the founder of WP Confidence. I&#8217;m a self-taught web developer with over 15 years experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m an entrepreneur, first and foremost, and I found web design and development by accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It all started when I purchased an eCommerce website from eBay for around \u00a350 to sell my own products. However, I didn&#8217;t like the design and couldn&#8217;t affort a designer. So, I bought a dummies book on building websites and started learning from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>YouTube was barely a thing back then, so the only way I could learn was through books and written tutorials. I eventually took an online course taught by Gary Simon, which vastly improved my skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After serving customers for around 10 years, I got super interested in marketing and SEO. I switched gears and started making money online building niche websites and <a href=\"https:\/\/coffeeshopblogger.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">launched a blog<\/a> where I could document my journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I first started Coffee Shop Blogger, I didn&#8217;t really know what I was doing and wasn&#8217;t sure what I would end up teaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast forward to today and I&#8217;ve rekindled my passion for WordPress design and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s why I created WP Confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, I&#8217;ve recently started to learn other programming languages such as JavaScript, PHP, and Python.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m hoping that one day I&#8217;ll be able to launch my own WordPress plugin that incorporates artifical intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Untill then, I&#8217;ll be posting simple tutorials on the <a href=\"https:\/\/wpconfidence.co\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blog<\/a> and on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@WPConfidence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started WP Confidence to help struggling entrepreneurs, content creators, and web developers get confident with WordPress.
