WCDFW Speaker Spotlight: Susan Ramsey

Topic: Customizing a theme in the browser

Susan is the owner of One Happy Studio, where she creates and customize themes, and develops custom websites using the Genesis Framework. Creating the website is just part of the story for Susan – she is somewhat obsessed with the process, and loves to help others by answering support questions for a number of theme developers including Pretty Darn Cute Design, and on the StudioPress community forums. Susan is honored to be a StudioPress recommended developer.

I create themes; I customize themes; I provide theme support for third party developers.

What has your experience with the WordPress community been like?
