I am best known for teaching beginners how to use WordPress<\/a>. My love for the internet began in 1994 when I built a website to launch and grow my business. In 2007 I fell in love with WordPress. My specialty is helping you avoid the pain and expense of not knowing what you don\u2019t know about WordPress through one-to-one consultations, the monthly Atlanta WordPress Hands-On Learning Group<\/a>, and occasional workshops. You can find me on Facebook<\/a>, Twitter<\/a>, Google+<\/a> or LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

Teresa Rosche Ott<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Teresa’s background in communication and decade of design firm experience bring a pro-level, big-picture perspective that’s valuable to small businesses seeking to establish a quality brand, but who aren’t ready for a design team.<\/p>\n

Teresa finds WordPress-based websites ideal for small business owners and other entrepreneurial types, and enjoys providing the training and technical heavy lifting that help “little guys” create a professional, competitive web presence. A desire to maintain ninja-like CSS skills, a fascination with LESS and SASS, a dozen years of copywriting experience, and a stint in photography school all support Teresa’s addiction to creating with WordPress.
