👋 Hi, I'm Rachel Zampino!

I’m a designer who builds websites. I make pretty sites functional, and teach others how to do it too.

Before I became a WordPress developer, I went to school for design.

I could leave it at that, but the truth is I started a degree in Computer Science. I jumped ship to a BFA in Graphic Design when I realised Computer Science wasn’t going to help me build websites. Not that the BFA did either. My degree taught me many things, like art history, traditional art, basic design principles, and other things I can’t remember (and never used). And yet, it didn’t teach me: how to set up hosting, point domains, build the damn thing, you know, actually make it work. So, after all this education, I still didn’t know how to make a well-oiled website. (Well, shit.)

Countless hours on Google, YouTube, testing, tweaking, and trialing every software, platform, and framework out there, I cracked the code on WordPress. Finally, combining the right tools, like Elementor and Flywheel, I could fully commit to WordPress being the platform to build functional sites without compromising aesthetics. Now I’m sharing what I’ve learned with other designers, so they can shave some time and energy off “getting their shit together” and get busy getting hired.

So, you’re a big nerd, right? Yes…why? How could you tell? Don’t make me pick my favorite fandom, all nerdery is awesome. (Supernatural, Harry Potter, Hot Wheels, Legos, you name it. I’ll geek out about it with you.) 🤓
