Tara: Welcome to Hallway Chats I’m Tara Claeys.

Liam: I am Liam Dempsey. Today we are very lucky to be joined by Sara Dunn who is the founder and project lead at 11 Web, a remote web agency based in Battle Creek Michigan. Her tiny team of four obsesses over design, WordPress (of course), local SEO, and clients online needs. Sara recently started a video series about specializing.

Liam: Sara? Welcome!

Sara: Hi guys. Thanks, Tara and Liam for having me on.

Tara: Hi Sara! We’re happy to have you here. So Liam gave a nice introduction. Can you tell us a little bit more about yourself?

Sara: Sure. You bet. My company’s name is 11 Web. We’ve been in business for about five years. I have a fully remote team. We are all very grateful to work from wherever we are. I’m here in southwest Michigan in Battle Creek, which is a lovely small town. I just love the opportunity that WordPress and Digital Marketing gives us to work from wherever we are. When I’m not working, you might find me traveling, hanging out with my husband of five years or our French bulldog Jetta.

Liam: I like traveling. Where have you been? Where do you like to go?

Sara: Everywhere. I love international travel. I love going to Europe. We took a wonderful trip to Croatia last year that was just transformational. I love the Adriatic Sea and everything there. So as much as I can get to Europe, I absolutely love to do that. My husband and I travel a lot in the US too. Thankfully he has a job that takes him all over. I’m very grateful that I have a job that I can take with me. Whenever he goes, I usually go with him.

Liam: That is awesome. I like that. I’m heading to Europe in a few weeks. I’m excited to go back.

Sara: That’s good! Where are you going?

Liam: I’m going to Germany.

Sara: Wonderful!

Liam: I’m going along with my wife on her job and taking our two children with us. We’re all pretty excited to go. So let me ask you a little bit about how you first got into WordPress, how you found it, how that came to be. Maybe you can even role in (if it did) how it affected your decision to go into business for yourself.

Sara: It’s really interesting. When I meet a lot of people, they ask if I went to school for web design, design, computers or something like that.
