Endah Widyawati

Saya “ibuk-ibuk”, berlatarbelakang pendidikan sastra, tidak muda lagi, dan pencinta sejati WordPress. Sejak saya mendirikan sekolah 18 tahun lalu saya mulai mengutak-atik WordPress. Dari mulai blog, sampai kemudian mempunyai domain sendiri (http://sekolahtetum.org). Saya pernah mencoba-coba Joomla, tapi kurang suka dengan penampilannya, sehingga kembali ke WordPress lagi. Apalagi dengan adanya Divi, saya lebih bisa mengeksplorasi web sekolah saya. Saya membuat subdomain untuk program-program kelas, sehingga komunikasi dengan orang tua pun melalui website kelas. Pendaftaran murid baru, dan pelatihan saya buatkan web sendiri. Saya sudah membuat antara 15-20 website untuk kebutuhan internal sekolah. Pastinya saya membangun personal brand melalui blog pribadi (http://endah.sekolahtetum.org). Banyak orang tua yang mendaftarkan anak karena membaca blog saya.

Grace Villarino

Grace “met” WordPress in 2009 when dabbling with different Content Management Systems while working at a web development firm. She tried Adobe Business Catalyst, Joomla, and Drupal; but what spoke to her heart was WordPress. She taught herself how to build a website using WordPress by scouring the web for tutorials and discussions until she got her first website. Already feeling stuck working at an office, she started looking for online jobs. Luckily, she found her first online job with a flexible schedule which marked the beginning of a different kind of freedom.

Since then, she has been location-independent and making enough to actually make a living off the internet. She have been an independent contractor for almost ten years now and have worked with teams locally and remotely from different countries mostly from the US, UK, and AU and have earned a diverse IT/Web experience from project management, web development, graphic design, and online marketing for small to medium business client projects from different industries – auto sales, retail, resort, restaurant, wellness, etc.

Having the freedom and flexibility enabled her to learn and broaden her experience, give back to the community, and feel good about sharing. She has traveled overseas without having to ever need a vacation leave, volunteered in different organizations and advocacy groups, and provided her services pro-bono to non-profits.

WordPress has been instrumental for shaping her life by enabling her to make fulfilling choices.
