Senior Backend Engineer, Sal Ferrarello, was listed among the WordPress 5.5 Core Contributors. This makes Sal’s eighth credit listing for being a WordPress Core Contributor. Amazing! You can see a full list of every single WordPress release in which Sal has been listed as a Core Contributor at his website.
New Team Members
This month, we have three new additions to our WDS family to announce. Meet Lead Engineers, Krystal Metzler and Darren Cooney, and Project Manager, Daniel Lama. You’ll have the chance to meet them more in-depth in a future blog post. For now, take a look at how our team has grown.
Media Mentions
Our WordPress agency got some great media coverage recently. First, we were featured in the article “WebDevStudios Helps Businesses Make the Most of Their WordPress Investments With a Suite of Value-Added Services” at HostingAdvice.com. Then, Brad was the featured interview in an article published at WPCity. Take a look at both of these informative pieces today.
We love participating in these types of articles and interviews, or sharing our expertise with interested reporters. Would you like to feature WDS or one of our team members on your blog? Contact us and let’s talk about it.
