Resource Library
Following is a list of resources I highly recommend in hopes they will help you create more easily, understand more completely and make your life easier! I would not recommend them if I hadn’t first tried them, found them useful and trust them. From time to time resources will be added (or removed).
You will notice some have an * by them, indicating I am in an affiliate with them. This means at no extra cost to you I may be compensated in some form for your purchase from them. Again, I would not recommend these resources if I did not already have a great experience with them.
Website Resources
Siteground Hosting
This site and several others I have worked on are hosted on SiteGround. I’ve rarely needed their help with hosting issues, but each time I’ve had a question, a Customer Support person was available within just a few minutes on chat. Help was knowledgeable and efficient with answers and assistance.
Hosting
SiteGround* – This site and several others I have worked on are hosted on SiteGround. I’ve rarely needed their help with hosting issues, but each time I’ve had a question, a Customer Support person was available within just a few minutes on chat. Help was knowledgeable and efficient with answers and assistance.
Flywheel* – I have limited experience with Flywheel, but have many friends who rely on Flywheel hosting and speak so highly of it. I personally use a Flywheel tool when developing websites and have never had a bad experience with them! I recommend Flywheel if you’re working one-on-one with me. They make it so easy to switch hosting over to you!
Themes
Elegant Themes* – I often use the Divi theme* by Elegant Themes as a base when designing for clients, as well as several plugins. I’ve never had to contact Customer Service with questions because there is a huge support network consisting of many Facebook groups!
Make by Theme Foundry – I used this free theme to set up my first website after moving to WordPress.org from Blogger. It’s a great theme that is easy to use if you want to DIY.

It even helps you create pop-ups! This is an essential plugin to help grow your email list!
