Hi, I’m Earl M. Patterson, the creator of The Village Expo—a platform designed to empower small business owners with the tools and community they need to thrive. While not a professional web designer, I’ve built this platform using WordPress, BuddyBoss, WCFM, and WooCommerce, learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP along the way to customize and enhance its functionality. I’ve also developed custom WordPress plugins, including the Future Playlist plugin, allowing members to upload, organize, and share music, spoken word, and podcasts. My focus is on continuous learning, problem-solving, and innovation, ensuring that The Village Expo remains a dynamic space for entrepreneurs to connect, showcase their businesses, and access valuable resources. If you have feedback or ideas, I’d love to hear them as we continue to grow and evolve together!
