About Me

Sharon Yates

Hi, I'm Sharon

Coach, Solopreneur, Speaker, WooCommerce Specialist

Welcome to my personal journey – where teaching, technology, and transformation intertwine.

I am a seasoned mentor and educator in the realm of freelance WordPress web design. My mission is simple: to guide freelance designers through an efficient workflow that unlocks the full potential of WooCommerce and Elementor. By doing so, I help them create stunning, streamlined eCommerce experiences, dodge common pitfalls, and carve out a profitable niche in the digital world.

My digital odyssey began in 1996, a time many consider the dark ages of the web. Since those early days, I’ve traversed the evolving landscape of Internet technology, amassing a wealth of experience across small businesses, large corporations, and entrepreneurial ventures. Along the way, I’ve shared my knowledge, training corporate teams on the nuances of the web and the art of website creation. My last corporate engagement sparked a profound realization: it was time to leave the corporate world behind and chart my path.

In 2005, my journey took a pivotal turn as I embraced the WordPress ecosystem, and soon after, WooCommerce. My focus sharpened on crafting elite, dynamic, professional WooCommerce stores—a niche where I continue to excel and innovate.

But my passion extends beyond building websites. I am deeply committed to professional growth, both for myself and for those I mentor. I invest my spare time in exploring new technologies, ensuring that I stay at the forefront of web design trends and tools. This dedication to continuous learning fuels my role as a leader within the Elementor Community, where I host the Elementor Dallas Community Meetup, fostering a space for learning, sharing, and growth.

My teaching philosophy is rooted in real-world experience, tailored to empower aspiring freelancers to embark on their own journeys. Through personalized mentoring and hands-on workshops in my WooCommerce and Elementor Meetup groups, I equip students with the knowledge and skills to navigate the freelance landscape confidently, turning challenges into opportunities.

Beyond the digital domain, I am an avid traveler, scuba diver, dancer, and blogger, embracing the richness of life with my feline companions, Crystal, Lucy, and Niblet. My adventures, both online and offline, are fueled by a spirit of discovery and a deep-seated desire to make a meaningful impact.

Entrusting me with your website means tapping into a reservoir of expertise, dedication, and innovation. Each project is a new adventure, a chance to apply my wealth of experience and passion for teaching to create something truly exceptional.

Let’s embark on this journey together, transforming visions into realities, one website at a time.
