Lisa, author of WordPress for Dummies and BuddyPress for Dummies , is a very talented designer and business woman. She is an entrepreneur who launched her own studio called E.Webscapes Blog Design Studio where she creates stunning websites and blogs with WordPress, TypePad, Movable Type, and Express Engine.  She also happens to be a huge Pink Floyd fan!

As we got to know Lisa and hear her passions, we just knew that we had to work with her in some capacity. Today we are extremely pleased to announce to our WebDesign.com community that Lisa Sabin-Wilson will be joining us for some special projects and training events! Lisa brings a wealth of knowledge about starting and running a web design business and we are really excited that she will be sharing some of her valuable insight with our WD Members.

So please stay tuned in to what is going on and when you can expect to see some of Lisa’s awesome wisdom.  Sign up for the WebDesign.com newsletter or follow us on Twitter – @webdesigncom to get the latest details.  In the meantime, feel free to watch the interview we did at SXSW with Lisa.

I interviewed Terrell Sanders, who will be teaching the workshop, and asked him to give a couple of tips from his 20-plus years of experience.

This is a can’t miss workshop for those wanting to get into freelance web design, or already doing it and needing some good tips on how to manage projects better. Trust me, you creative types need it!

As one of the top downloaded plugins in WordPress (it battles for the first and second spot with Google Sitemap Generator on the WP Repository), it was intriguing to hear his insight into WP development and also his love for the WordPress community.

Grant and I had a lot of fun at each other’s expense during WC Boston, and during the first part of the interview I had some more technical difficulties … but these are done in fun!
