Hello!
I’m Raleigh Leslie, and my one goal is to use my experieince to give your business with the most value possible.
How I got started…
I first started out as that neighborhood kid who was called upon when anything that you plug-in wasn’t working correctly. In college, as I worked toward a design degree, I stayed busy doing IT work for my university faculty and staff while also picking up freelance web design and development work. After college I co-founded a successful startup marketing agency named PageLadder, which I operated for 3 years before selling to my business partner to pursue a better personal work/life balance, while continuing work with them as a contractor.
In the summer of 2015, I was hand-selected as one of the expert WordPress developers for Codeable which is the only WordPress exclusive marketplace for hiring pre-vetted WordPress developers. This opportunity was a game-changer for me and completely rejuvenated my opportunities as a WordPress expert. Below is a 25-minute interview where you can learn more about me and Codeable.
I worked as a freelance developer on Codeable for a little over a year and completed over 100 projects before getting hired in-house.
Where I am at now…
For the past going on 4 years I’ve been working in-house with Codeable and no longer take on freelance work personally.
I confidentely recommend anyone looking to work with me, to go to Codeable.
My in-house roles at Codeable started in Customer Support which I worked for a year before switching to marketing shortly before starting working partnerships where Ive been the last couple years.
This website is where I attempt to set an example for how the other 500+ Codeable vetter WordPress experts should support partners and help the less experienced.
