Great opportunity to meet with people who know (way) more than me and who are eager to help. I had a chance to solve some of the issues I have with my website and I learned what to to do next. Very helpful!!

I walked in there yesterday expecting some advice on how to proceed with a few challenges in my e-commerce site. My goal was to purchase a domain and ssl and get some pointers on how to migrate my existing application to the new host. I'd like to personally thank Ariel Tolome for helping me set up it all up. From my research I had expected to pay about $120 for a year of hosting and SSL using bluehost. Ariel introduced me to Namecheap, we registered the site in Cloudflare and added crucial plugins like WordFence and WP Optimize. We got my page loading time optimized from about 6 seconds down to 1.4s. I walked in at 7pm with a slow non-secure staged site. I got home at 9.30 pm with my site fully migrated, secure and super fast. The cost of all this..... $20.01!!!! Cameron, you and your team are Great!!

So...I walk into a room full of complete strangers, and a seasoned WordPress professional comes over to sit at my side and do and explain all kinds of highly technical and complicated things on my site that I couldn't possibly figure out on my own in 10K years. I can't thank you, and specifically Cameron, enough!!! And did I mention that this meeting was completely free? This group perfectly exemplifies the very best that "old school," non-commercialized Meetup has to offer: a community of people giving freely to each other.
