Mid-year is here, and per usual, we have lots going on at WebDevStudios (WDS)! From new website launches to new clients and new employees, we have much to celebrate and share. Let’s get started.
Panels and Podcasts
Often referred to internally as our media darling, WDS CEO and Co-Founder, Brad Williams, was recently featured on a panel of experts and a podcast. On May 21st, MalCare, BlogVault, and WP Remote hosted a live panel discussion called “Managing the Current Uncertainty – Hear from the Best in WordPress.” Brad was among those “best,” sharing his ideas and insight for managing a business during these current times, as well as providing commentary on how consumer evolution has affected eCommerce. If you missed the event, you can watch it below.
Remote Work Leadership
We never tire saying it: WebDevStudios knows remote work. Operating as a 100% distributed company since it launched, WDS is well-versed in the practice of working from home. As such, Brad was invited to the Start Local podcast, a show hosted by Joe Casabona and Liam Dempsey, which focuses on businesses in Chester County, PA, and the greater Philly area as they try to navigate through the COVID-19 economy. In this episode, Brad highlights the advantages of working remotely and offer recommendations for structuring remote work. Click here to tune in now.

New Employees
Help us welcome two new additions to our growing team. First, we have Senior Backend Engineer, Ashar Irfan, who describes himself as, “…the magician behind the curtain who makes WordPress websites work perfectly and ensures nothing is broken.” Ashar contributes to the WordPress core and is a big JavaScript and Node.js enthusiast.
Next, meet Bret Phillips, our new Digital Strategist. In this role, Bret is responsible for bridging the gap between sales and project operations by focusing on client needs analysis, requirements gathering, and project planning. Having worked in various professions, such as a developer, sales, project management, accounting, strategy, etc., gives Bret a unique perspective and makes him a great fit for WebDevStudios.
