Liam: This is Hallway Chats, where we talk with some of the unique people in and around WordPress.
Tara: Together, we meet and chat with folks you may not know about in our community.

Tara: Today’s show is brought to you in part by Liquid Web.

Whether you’re a business owner, an agency, or a freelancer, Liquid Web has you covered when it comes to performance, uptime, and ease of site management.
Tara: And one of the things we love most, when your content goes viral, Liquid Web doesn’t charge you more for huge spikes in traffic. Transparent pricing, no surcharges.
Liam: Liquid Web is offering Hallway Chats listeners 33% off for the first three months. Go to Liquidweb.com and use the coupon code, HALLWAYCHATS, all one word, to sign up.
Tara: And now the conversation begins. This is episode 13. Welcome to Hallway Chats, I’m Tara Claeys.
Liam: And I’m Liam Dempsey. Today, we’re joined by Becky Davis. Becky is active in the WordPress community, has spoken at many WordCamps all over the USA. She has even spoken at WordCamp Europe in 2016. She runs the Chicago Northside WordPress Meetup and has done so for six years. She’s a big advocate for sharing knowledge and trading clients. Excitingly, she’s approaching her 10-year anniversary of running her own business. Hi, Becky.
Becky: Good morning.
Tara: Hi Becky, welcome. Tell us a little bit more about yourself?
Becky: I’m an old lady, my kids are adults and gone, and supporting themselves at this point. I started this business when my son was in high school and here I am 10 years later still making this as living, no regrets.
Liam: That’s great, that’s great, that’s great. Let me ask you, I want to get into how you got into starting your business in a few moments but I’d like to start by just asking you to tell us a little bit about what kind of services your business provides?
Becky: I mostly do custom theme shop, I don’t do ready made themes, I don’t have out-of-the-pocket solutions but I like building– I never understood ready made themes because how does a theme that 10,000 people use work for my content? It just makes no sense to me. I like building unique themes for clients that fit exactly what they need, that fit the kind of content that they have, that they’re willing to work with me so that we get all of the functionality and all of the things showing up there that need to show up, and it works.
Liam: That’s excellent. And then, you said you’re doing front-end development, you’re making custom themes, you’re working with clients. Tell us a little bit about, then, how you started your business and if you could weave into that story, tell us about how you got into WordPress as well?
Becky: Well,
