Surelutions Sponsor Interview

Surelutions

Describe your company in one sentence?
Surelutions offers WordPress web design, consulting, and ongoing management for locally owned small business and nonprofits.

Why did you choose to sponsor WordCamp Ann Arbor?
WordCamp Ann Arbor is great! It’s big enough to bring in WordPress gurus from around the country, but small enough to feel personable and welcoming to newbies. I’m only slightly biased, having lived and worked in the Ann Arbor area for a very (very!) long time :).

What is your favorite WordPress-related resource?
Tools-wise, I’m a big fan of iThemes suite of plugins – BackupBuddy, iThemes Sync, and iThemes Security. They are the first plugins I add to every new website build. WordPress business-wise, I can’t say enough good things about the training, resources, and members at WP Elevation. WordPress people in general tend to be a good lot, but the folks at WP Elevation take it to a whole ‘nuther level of awesomeness.

What kind of people do you like to meet at WordCamp?
I love to meet people who I can help. It’s nice to give back after learning so much from others at WordCamps over the years.

What do you find inspiring about the WordPress community?
The generosity of knowledge and willingness to help other people — strangers, for the most part! — is pervasive. I’m really proud to be part of such a giving community of people.

What would you tell someone to convince them to attend a WordCamp?
WordCamp is so affordable and such a huge value, that if you use WordPress, it’s crazy NOT to go. Whether you think you know nothing, or think you know everything, you’ll find something to learn, or a new person to meet, or an interesting new technique or tool to try out.

Tell us something awesome about your company that is not WordPress related?
Surelutions was the first business of its kind to win “Small Business Leadership Award” from the Chelsea Area Chamber of Commerce.
