Ahoy There, Digital Adventurer!
I’m Barney Chastain, your friendly neighborhood WordPress guru. Think of me as the Indiana Jones of the internet – always ready to rescue your website from the Temple of Doom (or at least from page 2 of Google search results).
Based in the land of 10,000 lakes (that’s Minneapolis, MN), I’ve spent 20+ years helping small business owners navigate the wild web without drowning in tech jargon.
What makes working with me different
I’m a solo practitioner (the person you talk to is the person who does the work)
No confusing tech-speak (unless you’re into that sort of thing)
