About WordPress Sherpa

How we came to be…

2001

My business partner Michelle Harrington founded her brand Emagine Website Design and began crafting websites from the ground up using Dreamweaver, a powerful HTML editor.

2014

Over the years, Michelle expanded her expertise to include paid search marketing, SEO, copywriting, and logo design, leading to the evolution of her brand name, which became Emagine Web Marketing, capturing the full spectrum of web services she offers.

Coding & HTML Graphic

2015

In her search for expert PHP support, Michelle discovered our talented programmer Lena, who has since become our trusted coding expert whenever our knowledge of CSS and HTML falls short.

2016

Michelle and I connected through mutual friends and quickly realized our web design skillsets complemented each other perfectly. This sparked a strong working relationship and a lasting friendship. 

2017

The two of us expanded our reach by incorporating the work of WordPress Sherpa, a thriving one-man web agency based in Colorado and California, formerly owned by my personal friend Brett Glassett. 

Today

Emagine Web Marketing & WordPress Sherpa manage about 50 client websites, backed by hundreds of completed projects and 30 years of combined experience. We look forward to collaborating on your next website endeavor.

About Us

Dara Kain

My Digital Superpowers?
Design & Development

I began my journey in web development in 2014, learning independently while also benefiting from the guidance of industry professionals. My passion for art and travel, combined with an organized and practical approach, laid the groundwork for my success as a freelancer focused on crafting visually appealing and functional websites that clients can be proud of. My expertise lies particularly in designing and developing WordPress websites and applying custom CSS styling.

When I’m not building sites…

I believe that the only thing standing in the way of our dreams is the notion that they’re out of reach. Thus, when I’m not busy creating websites, you can find me between the stunning landscapes of Kauai, Hawaii and the hills of Tuscany, Italy—my two favorite places in the world. I love discovering new trails for hiking, sipping on a good coffee accompanied by good conversation, befriending stray cats and animals, or simply pondering life’s deeper questions through writing.

MICHELLE HARRINGTON

My Digital Superpowers?
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.

When I’m not building sites…
You can find me enjoying the sweet life on Kauai with family and friends, where I have lived since 1986. I love long walks on the beach, swimming at Kealia, yoga, paddleboarding, boating, and hiking in the mountains. I also enjoy time spent in my garden, creating healthy food from the bounty that grows. I’m interested in health and well being and work/life balance. And while I love adventure and traveling, I always love coming home to Kauai.
