E.Webscapes Design Studio

I was compelled to stop everything I was working on to write a quick note about our experience with Lisa. I run two nonprofits. The first is part of a $30 million foundation, and the second is just getting off the ground. We call it the Sportsgrants Foundation and our mission is to revolutionize the way funds for research and services are raised in sports. We are relying heavily on social media to help us leverage our belief that things things have to change.

After a mind numbing and bank breaking series of attempts to design our WordPress MU site with a series of contractors, I read WordPress for Dummies in hopes of shaping the sites the way I envisioned them. The book was so helpful that I was inspired to track Lisa down and see if she could help us where all others had failed.

As we near completion I have three observations that anyone venturing into WordPress should pay heed to, they were all earned the hard way. First, Lisa is the best I’ve ever seen and I don’t just mean at her craft. She knows WordPress the way a Ferrari mechanic knows cars. Second, I’ve always believed that “fast” and “good” never go in the same sentence. There have been times when Lisa has coded in one of my lavish ideas while we were on the phone talking about it. Third, and of key importance to us as a nonprofit, was that Lisa invested herself in our business. She actually took the time to learn about what we were trying to accomplish. That alone is an invaluable quality, but when coupled with her skill and her constant above-and-beyond advice, it’s nothing short of inspiring.

Speaking from 25 years of experience with technology vendors and contractors, Lisa gets the only A+ I’ve ever given, and this is only the third note like this I’ve ever written. If you don’t believe me, go to http://sportsgrants.org and see for yourself.
