Mentor/Apprenticeship Available

(Summer 2021)

I am interested in teaching one or multiple individuals the web design and development skills that I have learned over the past 14 years as a full-stack web developer. My intentions in doing so are also to scout out a potential replacement for my part as a code developer for our online doula training business.

Here’s a brief overview of what you will learn:

Website Design
- Responsive Design
- HTML
- CSS
Webs Development
- PHP and OOP/OOD (Object Oriented Programming/Design)
- SQL – Databases
- WordPress (code/plugin development)
- Server Management
- Git/GitHub
And Much More…
- SEO – Search Engine Optimization
- Payment Processing (PayPal/Stripe)
- APIs – Application Programming Interfaces
- Email Marketing
- and so on…

This will initially start out as a unpaid position or positions. (Think of this as free one-on-one code camp for anyone interested in learning the nuts and bolts of web design and development.)

Potential candidates will need access to their own computer if remote from our home office (Marshall, Missouri). Local candidates may have access to company equipment.

Removing the “From: ” Text in the Email Sender Field

I’m working on email functionality throughout the WordPress Multisites network that I am using. Recently, we also adopted a new transactional email solution through a company called Socket Labs. I will explain more why we transitioned from more popular solutions to Socket Labs in a later post.

To use the Socket Labs service with my websites, I installed their plugin. I was running into an issue with their plugin which actually revealed an issue with my code which appears to be employing a deprecated (obsolete) practice related to the wp_mail() function.

An Introductory Post

My journey in business has brought me to here: an entrepreneur who currently operates a website that trains women ( and a few men ) to become professionals in childbirth and labor support.

I spend most of my days presently in code development on plugins for WordPress Multisite to achieve the objectives of our business. My wife and a small team of trainers runs the education side of the business. We’re not exactly solvent in our business yet, but we hope to be there soon.
