Meet the Genesis Developers: Part One

Brian Gardner on June 15, 2011

Are you looking to have your site built on the Genesis Framework? Have you had a chance to see all of the amazing sites built with it? If not, take some time to check out the Theme Showcase, and you’ll see just how powerful Genesis can be.

At StudioPress, we believe in giving credit where it’s due. Genesis serves as the foundation of more than 250,000 sites, and we’d like to show you who’s behind some of the best designed sites on the internet. Below you will meet 2 very talented people – whom we consider friends and are among the Genesis Developers we recommend that are available for hire.

Lindsey Riel, Pretty Darn Cute Design

Pretty Darn Cute DesignPretty Darn Cute Design is my absolutely necessary creative outlet. Without it I would explode. I have had a passion for design my entire life. I first indulged my passion by creating websites in Notepad then later discovered the magic of WordPress. Since then my continuing education has enabled me to build PDCD into a rapidly expanding graphic/web design consulting business. I’m a Military Wife and feel incredibly blessed to have a portable career that’s allowed me to work with amazing people from all over the world.

I love what I do and enjoy bringing my clients web and graphic design ideas to fruition. I work with everything from the whimsical and light hearted to the serious professional. Discovering Genesis was a turning point in my business.

Bill Erickson, BillErickson.net

Bill EricksonI believe that a successful website doesn’t just look great; it should be simple to maintain. When possible, I build client sites using the Genesis Framework. This reduces the time and cost of developing the website, and I can build a custom child theme to your exact specifications. I use WordPress platform, an open-source Content Management System. It makes editing your website as easy as editing a Word document. I focus on building visually stunning websites that are easy to maintain, using WordPress as a CMS.

I’ve been a web developer for 8 years and a WordPress developer for 5, and work with all business types, from individuals to startups to large corporations and universities. I collaborate with talented designers and customize WordPress to your specific needs.
