# About me: Seth Shoultes

Seth Shoultes has built websites and software for more than 25 years, co-founded Event Espresso, and runs Smart Website Solutions in Southern Utah.

I’m Seth Shoultes, and I run Smart Website Solutions here in Southern Utah. I have been building websites and software for more than 25 years. I would like to build yours, or help you get more from the one you have.

## How I got here

I started building websites in 2001. In 2009 I released my first WordPress plugin, and that grew into [Event Espresso](https://eventespresso.com/), which I co-founded. It is a WordPress plugin for event registration and ticketing: businesses use it to sell tickets, take bookings and manage attendees from their own website.

The road wasn’t straight. I’m an Air Force veteran, and getting to a software company took a lot of stubbornness. If you want the long version, I wrote it all down in [my autobiography](https://smartwebutah.com/seth-shoultes-autobiography/). If you would rather see how I work, I rebuilt one WordPress site three different ways and timed each: [the write-up](https://guide.smartwebutah.com/), for anyone who likes the details.

These days I’m a husband and the father of two, and I try to keep the work in balance with the life.

## What I do for you

I build websites that look good and help a business grow, without making them hard to use. Through Smart Website Solutions I help with:

-   Custom websites, mostly on WordPress, plus WooCommerce, Shopify, Squarespace and Wix.
-   Online stores and event registration.
-   Search and marketing for local businesses.
-   Updates, maintenance and moving sites to new hosting.
-   Speeding up databases and checking security.

If a job needs more hands than mine, I work with a network of designers and developers I trust and can pair you with the right one.

## In the WordPress community

I organize local WordPress meetups and have spoken at WordCamp, the WordPress community’s conference. You can find my work on [WordPress.org](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sethshoultes/) and [GitHub](https://github.com/sethshoultes), and me on [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/shoultes).
