				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Senior Interactive Designer Bryan was born in Tennessee, raised in Ohio, and made in New York. After five years in NYC followed by six in upstate New York (Troy) he and wife Julie contemplated another move, this time to a number of cities scattered across the country, including: Boston, Chicago, Minneapolis, Portland and Seattle. Lucky for us, Minneapolis won (as it should!) They arrived in the City of Lakes, had a son, Milo, and are happier than ever.</p>
<p>Bryan has spent the past 14 years designing print, branding and interactive solutions for clients such as Cobra-PUMA Golf, Nikon, Scholastic, Colgate-Palmolive, PBS and The Cleveland International Airport (just to name a few). He came to us from Sevnthsin, where he was Senior Designer for accounts including Bon Iver, HealthPartners and American Public Media. We&#8217;re psyched to have him on board. He doesn&#8217;t know it yet, but we&#8217;re already arguing over who gets the first ride in his kickass scooter&#8217;s sidecar.</p>
<p><strong>What do you want to be remembered for?</strong><br />
Positively affecting lives, contributing to a greater good and excellent carnitas.</p>
<p><strong>The first website I check everyday is: </strong><br />
If I care about the weather: forecast.io<br />
If I don&#8217;t: Notcot.org</p>
<p><strong>Song of the moment:</strong><br />
Appetites: Les Savy Fav</p>
<p><strong>Reading anything interesting?</strong><br />
I have a short attention span so I&#8217;ve partially just read: <em>Last Call (The History of Prohibition)</em>, a Dieter Rams book and <em>Pulphead: Essays </em> by Jeremiah Sullivan. <em>Geek Love</em> would be my favorite book—if you care to know. I finished that one.</p>
<p><strong>Drink of choice:</strong><br />
Negroni</p>
<p><strong>Where do you find inspiration?</strong><br />
I tend to observe more than I engage so I think I am cataloging a lot of information in that process that inspires my work and life. Based on that observation, I find inspiration on the bus, my scooter, at home, in music, in people and in food.</p>
<p><strong>Most interesting Minneapolis observation:</strong><br />
At stoplights, drivers leave full car lengths between themselves and the car in front of them. I can&#8217;t comprehend that.</p>
<p><strong>What is your dream project?</strong><br />
Solving something hugely complex and necessary. Have you ever tried to decipher medical bills and how they correlate to your insurance? Let me fix that.</p>
<p><strong>I’m addicted to:</strong><br />
Tacos, tacos and tacos.</p>
<p><strong>If I wasn’t a designer I would have liked to be:</strong><br />
I have told everyone I know that this is the greatest field to be in—it is truly limitless, constantly challenging and always rewarding. If I weren&#8217;t designing in this medium I would ultimately be designing in some other medium. Designing food? Designing buildings? Designing aprons for taxidermied squirrels, etc…something like that.</p>
<p><strong>Your favorite musician?</strong><br />
A toss up between Bob Dylan and Fugazi.</p>
<p><strong>Which living person do you most admire?</strong><br />
My wife. I don&#8217;t know anyone better and she is a constant source of inspiration for me.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jackie is our MVP at Westwerk. She was the first employee hired and is continually the go-to on the creative side of things. Whether it’s designing beautiful logos, packaging, or websites, not much goes through here without Jackie’s input. She&#8217;s also our in-house photographer, which made shooting her profile photo difficult. See- MVP!</p>
<p>She grew up on a dairy farm west of Minneapolis, and studied at the University of Minnesota Duluth. A three-week trip to Italy senior year ignited a major love affair with Europe. She&#8217;s been back twice since &#8212; her last trip was a 10 country, 2 month excursion (which may explain the <em>je ne sais quoi</em> quality about her). When she’s not vying to hop the Atlantic, she is likely obsessing over typefaces and choosing the perfect pantone color combinations. She can’t even walk through the cheese section at the supermarket without picking up packages and commenting on the design.</p>
<p><strong>What do you want to be remembered for?</strong><br />
Being kind, generous, and (hopefully someday) contributing something back to the world</p>
<p><strong> The first website I check everyday is</strong><br />
Pinterest is a favorite, I’m also a fan of the animated gifs on thisadvertisinglife.com</p>
<p><strong> Favorite song at 4pm on a Friday</strong><br />
<em>Beer</em> by Three Loco</p>
<p><strong>Favorite band?</strong><br />
Florence and the Machine</p>
<p><strong>Drink of choice</strong><br />
Dark &amp; Stormy, or whatever is on tap at Westwerk</p>
<p><strong> Reading anything interesting?</strong><br />
<em>Bringing up Bébé</em> &#8230; it’s about an American woman raising a child in France and the cultural differences that she observes</p>
<p><strong> Favorite quote?</strong><br />
<em>&#8220;I think everything in life is art. What you do, how you dress, the way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality, what you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea, how you decorate your home, or party; your grocery list, the food you make, how your writing looks, and the way you feel.   Life is art.&#8221;<br />
</em></p>
<p><strong>Where do you find inspiration?</strong><br />
Travel is highly inspiring &#8230; seeing new places, trying different foods, discovering other cultures</p>
<p><strong>What is your dream project?</strong><br />
Projects that encompass branding and digital with far-reaching applications. One of my current projects combines branding, packaging and web, which is ideal because it allows us to create a cohesive identity and see the brand through from start to finish.</p>
<p><strong> I’m addicted to</strong><br />
Netflix and anything coconut</p>
<p><strong> Currently obsessed with</strong><br />
<em>Mad Men </em>and<em> Downton Abbey</em></p>
<p><strong>Most influential movie of my life </strong><br />
<em>Napoleon Dynamite</em></p>
<p><strong> Secretly I can</strong><br />
Play the trumpet (nerd alert!)</p>
<p><strong> If I wasn’t a designer I would have liked to be </strong><br />
A travel/humanitarian photographer</p>
<p><strong>Best advice you&#8217;ve </strong><b>received</b><br />
Money is a renewable resource; time is not</p>
<p><strong>On the weekends, I can usually be found </strong><br />
Tooling around uptown, cycling the lakes, practicing yoga</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Amy had the daunting task of coming on as the first-ever Westwerk project manager; it&#8217;s not easy getting a bunch of creatives and coders organized. Additionally, as somewhat of a wine aficionado (she&#8217;s on the Minnesota Farm Winery board) she had the (possibly equally) daunting task of coming into a workplace full of staunch beer-drinkers. Amazingly, she has seamlessly adapted to both challenges like it’s nothing. She keeps everyone in check, beer in hand. Resident wine snob no more.</p>
<h5>Amy Abt</h5>
<hr />
<p><strong>What do you want to be remembered for?</strong><br />
Always having my shit together.</p>
<p><strong>If you were a food, you’d be:</strong><br />
A watermelon.</p>
<p><strong>Why?</strong><br />
Because watermelon is hydrating and great for your skin, and I found a diamond ring in one last October. <img src='http://westwerkdesign.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>Choice drink:</strong><br />
Gruet Brut from New Mexico (it’s a great value for sparkling wine!)</p>
<p><strong>Reading anything interesting?</strong><br />
Knowing Your Value: Women, Money and Getting What You’re Worth, by Mika Brzezinski</p>
<p><strong>Morning or night person?</strong><br />
Definitely night.</p>
<p><strong>Where do you find inspiration?</strong><br />
Trashy reality TV. Seriously.</p>
<p><strong>You&#8217;re addicted to:</strong><br />
Checking my email. I check it at all hours of the day/night; bad habit.</p>
<p><strong>Secretly you can:</strong><br />
Moonwalk</p>
<p><strong>Most inspirational movie of your life:</strong><br />
Insert judgment here.</p>
<p><strong>If you weren&#8217;t a project manager, you&#8217;d be:</strong><br />
A small-business owner</p>
<p><strong>Favorite Musician:</strong><br />
Van Morrison and Paul Simon. Does that make me a 60-year-old man? If so, then I’ll say Nicki Minaj and Fergie.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Eric, our lead developer, grew up in the charming suburb of White Bear Lake. From  a tender age, he was computer obsessed- particularly with Macs. In high school, he sang and played guitar in a ska-punk band called ‘Fresh Skaweezed&#8217;, because it’s not punk without a pun, right? He studied political science and history at St. Thomas, scoring an internship in D.C. with a U.S. Senator, which quickly turned him off to the idea of a life in politics. Or maybe his first love (computers) was his true love; he moved back to Minneapolis and accepted a position doing web development. Which led him to us, here at Westwerk, where he gets to build fun stuff on the internet every day (all while massively increasing his foosball skills). </p>
<h5>Eric Jorgensen</h5>
<hr />
<p><strong>The ﬁrst website I check everyday is </strong><br />
Twitter or Reddit</p>
<p><strong>I collect</strong><br />
Vinyl records</p>
<p><strong>Choice Drink?</strong><br />
Brandy Manhattan, on the rocks.</p>
<p><strong>Morning or night person?</strong><br />
Night, definitely. Waking up is often a struggle for me.</p>
<p><strong>What do you want to be remembered for?</strong><br />
I&#8217;d like to be remembered as someone who brought integrity, effort and passion to everything I did.</p>
<p><strong>Where do you find inspiration?</strong><br />
Interesting projects I find through Twitter or just through random web browsing.</p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;m addicted to</strong><br />
Diet Coke and hockey.</p>
<p><strong>Song of the moment</strong><br />
&#8220;Thrift Shop&#8221; (ed. note: sensing a <a href="http://westwerkdesign.com/2013/02/08/meet-lindsey/">trend</a>?</p>
<p><strong>Secretly I can:</strong><br />
Sing a mean karaoke tune. Secret&#8217;s out.</p>
<p><strong>Favorite movie:</strong><br />
Woody Allen&#8217;s &#8220;Match Point&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>If I weren&#8217;t a developer, I&#8217;d be:</strong><br />
In a rock band. </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The spotlight is on Lindsey this week, our interactive project manager and newest edition to the team. A Minnesota native, Lindsey moved to Fargo/Moorhead to attend Concordia College on a music scholarship, even though she wasn’t quite into the idea of becoming a professional musician. So after trying everything from the marching band flag line to playing oboe in the pit orchestra, she decided to transfer to nearby MSU, where she met her eventual husband, Pablo. Serendipity. After graduation, Lindsey spent the next 7 years working with the interactive team at Forum Communications in Fargo.</p>
<p>Now residing in Minneapolis, Lindsey, Pablo and their fat (her words) cat Shinobi spend their free time counting down the days till spring, when they can get outside and explore their new city. Lindsey’s interests include puzzles, piano rock, knitting and&#8230;weight lifting to thrash metal. There you go, we like ‘em well-rounded.</p>
<h5>Lindsey Guajardo</h5>
<hr />
<p><strong>Song of the moment</strong><br />
I wish I could say something cooler but &#8220;Thrift Shop&#8221; is awesome. And frequently applicable to me. I love thrifting.</p>
<p><strong>Choice Drink?</strong><br />
I never turn down a coffee.</p>
<p><strong>If I were a food, I’d be:</strong><br />
I&#8217;d be that one dish that turns out differently every time you make it because you never bothered to write down the recipe. I feel like I change and evolve with every new experience.</p>
<p><strong>What do you want to be remembered for?</strong><br />
Being kind, honest, fair. And a good listener.</p>
<p><strong>What is your dream project?</strong><br />
Any project where everyone can be enthusiastic about what they’re creating and enjoy trying new ideas.</p>
<p><strong>If I wasn’t a project manager, I would like to be</strong><br />
Self-sufficient. Off-the-grid. Build a cabin, grow a garden. I think I would enjoy the challenge of a “career” where the job description was simply “survive.” I’d miss coffee, though.</p>
<p><strong>Favorite quote?</strong><br />
“Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.” -Dr. Seuss</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week, we&#8217;re starting a new feature sharing a bit about our employees. We&#8217;re kicking things off with Ashby, a man of few words and many talents; in addition to being a gifted coder, he’s also the nicest guy in the office (we voted) AND makes the best margaritas.</p>
<p>Born in Stockton, Calif. and raised in nearby Lodi, Ashby was your typical nerdy-art kid; playing Magic: The Gathering, D&amp;D, directing/acting in school plays, dabbling in the local goth culture. Next up, some bopping around occurred: college in San Francisco, then an attempt at being “an artist&#8221;, then a tattoo artist, then a muralist, then a move to Minneapolis with his ladylove, CarrieAnn, then <em>almost</em> Barcelona, then more college (Minneapolis College of Art &amp; Design for Comic Art), and now we have him. The bopping has finally stopped.</p>
<p>Now he spends his time developing websites, drawing and hanging with CarrieAnn and their two incredibly adorable sons. Sometimes he goes to the gym.</p>
<h5>Ashby Utting</h5>
<hr />
<p><strong> Song of the moment:</strong><br />
&#8220;The Hero&#8221; by Nostalgia</p>
<p><strong>I collect:</strong><br />
Graphic novels and obscure mini comics by alternative cartoonists.</p>
<p><strong>Reading anything interesting?</strong><br />
&#8220;Hellboy in Hell&#8221; by Mike Mignola. And the deep dark ocean that is code.</p>
<p><strong>Choice drink?</strong><br />
El Tesoro Paradiso Muy Anejo</p>
<p><strong>If I were a food, I’d be:</strong><br />
Cake. Everyone loves cake!</p>
<p><strong>Where do you find inspiration?</strong><br />
My kids and CarrieAnn. Code. Cartoons. Springtime. The future. Pretty much everything.</p>
<p><strong>What do you want to be remembered for?</strong><br />
My work ethic and dedication to my family.</p>
<p><strong>What is your dream project?</strong><br />
Writing, designing and developing an epic 16-bit style RPG.</p>
<p><strong>Most influential movie of my life:</strong><br />
<em>The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys</em></p>
<p><strong>Secretly I can</strong><br />
Do a flying sidekick.</p>
<p><strong>If I wasn’t a developer I wanted to:</strong><br />
Be a windmill mechanic near Palm Springs.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now that we&#8217;ve settled in, let&#8217;s shake things up! </p>
<p>After six moves in seven years, Westwerk Design finally has a place to call home. We&#8217;ve taken 4,500 square feet of raw space and custom-built our new office with our own hands — literally! We designed and built everything from the walls and doors to the desks, kitchen and conference rooms. </p>
<p>Join us for a drink in celebration of our new subterranean design fortress. </p>
<p>And while you&#8217;re here, say hello to our neighbors across the hall, Hennepin Made, who will be demonstrating the fine art of glass-blowing during the party.</p>
<p>Friday September 28, 4pm to 11pm<br />
1621 E Hennepin Ave Suite B26<br />
Minneapolis, MN 55414</p>

And we’ve made sourcing Oregon Hazelnuts easier than ever, with the new “Buy Oregon Hazelnuts” guide.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Westwerk donated services for this year’s LynLake Street Festival. We produced a logo, posters, ads, a website and T-shirt design.</p>
<p>With the Blaisdell YMCA supplying the event insurance and the majority of the 90-plus volunteers, over 25 businesses supplying financial support in the form of sponsorships, the Lyn Lake Street Fest continues to grow and take its place as a free-wheeling day of celebration of the start of spring in the vibrant heart of South Minneapolis.</p>
<p>This year’s biggest change was the two music stages, back to back on the bridge over the Midtown Greenway, one facing north and one facing south, alternating sets every 45 minutes.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Meet our new designer here at Westwerk, Zach Hink. Hailing from Buffalo, Minnesota, Zach is a perfect fit for our well-rounded, awesome team.</p>
<p><strong>How would you describe yourself in three words?</strong><br />
&#8220;Hard-working, alpha-male, jackhammer&#8230;   merciless, insatiable.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What is your favorite hobby?</strong><br />
If it counts as a hobby, spending time with my wife and kids, I also like to play some 6 string and drawring pictures.</p>
<p><strong>What is your dream vacation?</strong><br />
Iceland, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Ireland; and yes, this would all be the same vacation, it would be a long one with my wife and lots of mountains, ocean, and castles.</p>
<p><strong>What is your favorite movie? Why?</strong><br />
Braveheart. It&#8217;s a war move, a love story, and a bunch of dudes in skirts and long hair taking on an entire country.</p>
<p><strong>If you were a car, what kind of car would you be?   </strong><br />
El Camino. It can&#8217;t be fit into a category, and it&#8217;s kind of cool but still mostly awkward.</p>
<p><strong>What is your least favorite word?</strong><br />
Cliché: Using the word cliche is so cliche.</p>
<p><strong>What would you do if you had a time machine?</strong><br />
Go back in time and stop the creation if Internet Explorer.</p>
<p><strong>What is your job description (in your own words)?</strong><br />
I get to tell stories visually. I also love the fact that I&#8217;m privileged to create things everyday!</p>
<p>Oh and I&#8217;m pretty sure somewhere in that job description is foosball, this is good.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This month we are honored to announce that we are working with Boise State University on re-designing their website. Many of us are familiar with the blue football field from Boise State University, but in reality it&#8217;s so much more than just the blue field. Recently, a few of us took a trip to Boise to kick-off the website re-design project with the web team at Boise State University and were pleasantly surprised with how awesome the city of Boise and Boise State University is. The people, the food, the campus, the city, the nightlife…and yes, the blue field.</p>
<p>It was a pleasure being in Boise and it is even more of a pleasure to be a part of such a wonderful project. Be on the lookout for the new Boise State University to the interwebs around July sometime.</p>
<p>Now… back to flexing more creative muscles and getting in our game-day mindset to pump out some killer designs for the university!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Earlier this month a few of us headed out to San Diego for Massive Camp, and we must tell you how killer-awesome it was! What an awesome group of people we got to meet up with and collaborate with! The <a href="http://www.massivepress.com/" target="_blank">Massive Press</a> (the group of people behind Massive Camp) mission: <em>We are a group of entrepreneurs in the WordPress community who have found common ground, share common goals and feel strongly that we can accomplish so much more together, than we can apart. We believe in collaboration over competition and strive to bring value to the WordPress community through offering fantastic deals on bundled products that enhance your online experience, education and support and exposure for the commercial WordPress community by providing you with a network to collaborate with, learn from, share ideas and make connections.</em></p>
<p>We are sincerely honored to now be part of Massive Press with our <a href="http://werkpress.com/" target="_blank">WerkPress</a> solution. What an amazing idea, &#8220;<em>accomplish so much more together, then we can apart&#8230;</em>&#8221; and this is exactly the process we took while at Massive Camp. The two days we got together for the camp were not only a wonderful learning experience in WordPress and how others are utilizing the platform and all of it&#8217;s possibilities; but it was about collaborating to build something really neat (although we can&#8217;t reveal what that is right now, you will soon find out). All photos taken by the amazingly talented <a href="http://janamorganphotography.com/" target="_blank">Jana Morgan</a>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yep, it&#8217;s true, we&#8217;re hiring a local, full-time, super-awesome interactive designer/developer with WordPress experience. If you know what &#8220;The Loop&#8221; is, we would love to meet you. For those who haven&#8217;t a clue on who we are, we are <a href="http://westwerkdesign.com" target="_blank">Westwerk</a> and we are <a href="http://werkpress.com/" target="_blank">WerkPress</a>. We are looking for a super-awesome guy or gal to become the newest member of our growing team. Are you super-ridiculously-awesome?</p>
<h5>The Job.</h5>
<p>Working alongside our team here at Westwerk, you will be responsible for designing, building, learning and breathing everything web/UI design and WordPress. You will be responsible for creating awe-inspiring, kick-awesome, pixel-perfect, pretty-yet-functional designs and absolutely beautiful code. Working on projects, both in small teams and alone.

<p><span id="more-960"></span></p>
<h5>About Yourself.</h5>
<p>You are the right person if you are out of school, a self-taught guru, or an experienced professional looking for an awesome team to be a part of. You might be the type of person that names fonts when they see them, you notice when things are off by 1 pixel — you&#8217;re an ultra nerd that way — but we would love you for it. You love typography, despise bad color palettes, and can overcome the most complex things we throw at you. Here&#8217;s what things you&#8217;re good at:</p>
<ul>
<li>You have strong WordPress and CSS skills (No WYSIWYGs here please, you need to know how to code)</li>
<li>You are extremely proficient in Photoshop, and Illustrator is your good friend</li>
<li>You have a pixel-perfect attention to detail</li>
<li>You get in-depth HTML and CSS code</li>
<li>You work well as part of a team, but are proactive on your own</li>
<li>You can manage your workload like a boss</li>
<li>You can maybe teach us a thing or two</li>
<li>You can work on site in Minneapolis, Minnesota</li>
<li>You like challenges and love to learn!</li>
</ul>
<h5></h5>
<h5>If you have these bonus skills, all the more awesome:</h5>
<ul>
<li>Javascript &amp; jQuery</li>
<li>Understanding of web hosting</li>
<li>PHP &amp; WordPress Plugin development experience</li>
<li>Any creative &amp; agency experience</li>
<li>Mobile experience</li>
<li>You love WordPress as much as we do</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5>Compensation.</h5>
<p>This will be determined on your skill and experience. Let us know what your expected salary might be. This is a full-time, contract gig right at our office in NE Minneapolis — with the potential to hire.</p>
<h5></h5>
<h5>Do it.</h5>
<p>Enough of the drawn out, cheeky-fun copy. If you want to apply to join our team, fill in the form below. Be sure to tell us about yourself and why you think you&#8217;d be a good fit and what makes you super-ridiculously-awesome. What you should send us:</p>
<ul>
<li>Details of your design background/Resume</li>
<li>Links to previous work, portfolio, dribbble etc</li>
<li>What makes you the right fit</li>
<li>How we can contact you</li>
</ul>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In Chris Coyier&#8217;s words, &#8220;<em>WordPress is huge, getting huger. The team is kicking ass. Great things are to come. They really care about experience and performance at every step of the way.</em>&#8220;.</p>
<p>There were over 1,000 people attending WCSF and many more watching the livestream, making it the biggest WordCamp yet! Westwerk attended to not only continue learning more and more about the wondrous WordPress platform, but also to connect with both theme shops and industry leaders about how our <a href="http://werkpress.com/" target="_blank">WerkPress</a> solution is truly filling a gap in the WordPress industry. It was a great WordCamp and a great time! Thanks to our friends who attended and made it an awesome get-together.</p>
<p>See if you can find a shot of us from the <a href="http://wpcandy.com/liveblogged/wordcamp-san-francisco-2011" target="_blank">WP Candy LiveBlog from WCSF</a>. <em>Fun times!</em></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the spring of 2010, Joe Demin traveled to Thailand to visit an old friend. Joe was hoping to soak up the sun, explore Thai culture and eat some seriously spicy noodles. He didn’t have an inkling that his three week trip would set off a chain of events that led to him leaving his corporate job and investing everything he had into a new endeavor: to spark a hammocking revolution.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s exactly what Joe did! His hammocking revolution gave birth to his company Yellow Leaf Hammocks. It also gave birth to a wonderful new relationship with Westwerk. We sat down with Joe and discovered his goals, brainstormed how to meet these goals and ultimately gave birth to a visually rich and inviting WordPress-based e-Commerce site where Joe and company could continue to build their business. </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After over a year on kicking butt on various WordPress projects and starting to partner up with miscellaneous top commercial theme shops, like <a href="http://www.organicthemes.com/" target="_blank">Organic Themes</a>, <a href="http://press75.com/" target="_blank">Press75</a> and <a href="http://www.premiumpixels.com/" target="_blank">Premium Pixels</a>, we have officially launched WerkPress; an internal division of Westwerk that specializes in WordPress theme customization. </p>
<p>With WerkPress we facilitate WordPress customizations on behalf of theme and plugin shops. We work directly with these shops to fulfill all of their requests, providing top-level theme and plugin customizations. We don&#8217;t just give you advice for client&#8217;s customizations — we roll up our sleeves and help make stuff happen. </p>
<p>We work in WordPress every single day, so why not make it fun?! And with launching WerkPress we&#8217;ve done just that!</p>
<p><a href="http://werkpress.com/" target="_blank">Check it out</a>! </p>
