Andrea Whitmer
Musings of a web developer, blogger, and dog mom
Well hello there!
I'm Andrea. I have good ideas and (most of) the motivation and skills needed to execute those ideas.
I do accomplish things every now and then.
Web Development
While I don't do a lot of freelancing these days, I've built some pretty cool websites over the past 20+ years. I have a knack for coming up with ways to streamline processes so people can spend their time working on their businesses instead of their websites.
Famous Dogs
You may be here because you know my dogs, the Floofs. The dog mom life definitely chose me because I never dreamed I'd be spending middle age crawling around with a camera to document the lives of my pets, yet here we are.
Technical Support
If you've opened a support ticket with a major WordPress-related company since 2014 or so, we've probably chatted. I've worked in several support roles and I love helping people find what they need to be successful in whatever they might be building.
Who I am
The first thing I am is lucky, because the guy pictured with me here is my wonderful and patient husband, who knows everything there is to know about me yet still manages to like me anyway.
I try very hard to be kind, considerate, and at least somewhat fun to be around. Those lofty traits are paired with intense stubbornness and a mouth that runs faster than my brain’s ability to censor it, just to keep things interesting.
Why this website exists
Honestly I haven’t totally figured that out yet. For a long time, this domain has been kind of dormant because I focused all my energy on my freelance business. I closed that business several years ago, though, and decided I needed somewhere else to “live” on the internet. Whether I actually do anything with it remains to be seen.
I blogged constantly in my 20s, then kind of got away from it as I went through a number of mini existential crises in my 30s. Will I find something to talk about here? I sure hope so; otherwise I spent a lot of time building this site for nothing.
