TWO CREATIVES MET &

“Never continue in a job you don’t enjoy. If you’re happy in what you’re doing, you’ll like yourself. You’ll have inner peace. And if you have that, along with physical health, you will have had more success than you could possibly have imagined. ” – Johnny Carson
How we came to be…
2001
My business partner, Michelle Harrington, created her company/brand, Emagine Website Design, and started building websites from the ground up with Dreamweaver, an HTML editor.
2014
Over the years, Michelle’s skillset and services grew to include paid search marketing, SEO, copywriting, and logo design. As she grew, so did her brand name which became Emagine Web Marketing to encompass the full range of web services provided.
2015
In an online search for PHP assistance, Michelle found our experienced programmer Lena. From then on, she’s been our go-to coding wizard when our CSS & HTML knowledge just doesn’t cut it.
2016
Michelle and I met through mutual friends and discovered that we had complementary skillsets in web design. We instantly connected, finding a great working relationship and lasting friendship. I had my brand name which was Honest-to-Goodness Web Solutions but nixed that because it was frankly too much of a mouthful 😉
2017
The two of us expanded to include the work of WordPress Sherpa, a successful one-man web agency based out of Colorado & California run by its previous owner and personal friend of mine, Brett Glassett. Our once Hawaii-based business now includes clients from California, Chicago, Michigan, and Colorado thanks to this merge in businesses.
Today
Now our respective brands, Emagine Web Marketing and WordPress Sherpa have about 50 current clients with websites that we continue to manage and maintain. With hundreds of start-to-finish websites completed, 30 years of combined team experience, and the desire to continue growing, we are eager to discuss your next website venture.

About Us
Dara Kain
My Digital Superpowers?
Design & Development
I started in web development in 2014, self-taught yet guided by others in the industry. My love of art and travel mixed with being orderly and practical gave me the foundation I needed for becoming a successful freelancer, working to create attractive and functional websites that others can feel good about. I’m particularly skilled in the design & development of WordPress websites as well as CSS custom styling.
When I’m not building sites…
I spend my time between Kauai, Hawaii, and Florence, Italy… terrible, right? I believe that the only obstacle between us and our dreams is the belief that they’re unattainable.
In my free time, you can often find me outdoors on a trail, in the ocean, on an ultimate frisbee field, or kicking myself for not creating more music because I love to sing but it kinda freaks me out too.

SEO & Project Management
My interest in understanding how things work led me to this profession back in 2001 while my entrepreneurial spirit desired an enterprise of my own. Over the years I have developed a blend of business, marketing and technical expertise, which includes balancing the vision for each project while paying attention to the fine details.
