On August 15th, the 100 Moments of BING! webinar will feature a special guest — Taryn Wallis of Phenomenoodle.

(You’ll find her on Twitter as @phenomenoodle, and she is of course part of our special “bing” twitter list.)

Truth be honest, who wouldn’t ask someone whose company name is “phenomenoodle” to be a guest?

It’s irresistible, and this kind of creativity radiates through everything Taryn does as a highly respected “techie”.

During our webinar, she’ll be focusing on some of the common questions she often hears from folks, things like:

  • Do I need a website in the first place? (and it’s corollary: Can’t I just use Twitter and Facebook?)
  • What options do I have if I’m on a tight budget?
  • Do I have to be a geek to setup or maintain my site?
  • How fixed does my branding need to be before I launch a website? (and the related: How easy is it to change my site when my business changes?)
  • And, of course:  Do I have to blog?

A little more about Taryn

“For the most part, Phenomenoodle is one woman and her cat – and to be honest, the cat doesn’t do all that much,” says Taryn of her business.

Despite her feline companion doing lots of napping, however, Taryn does what she loves: WordPress web design and development for small businesses with big dreams.

Once upon a time, in a country far far away, Taryn used to be an Organizational Psychologist with a Masters in Business Science. She had her own business specializing in career development, and a penchant for doing “webby” things whenever she got the chance. This, plus an artistic streak and a position almost exactly in the middle of the left-brain/right-brain continuum means that Taryn:

  • (a) loves design and coding equally, and creates websites that are not only pretty but come packed with powerful functionality, and
  • (b) ensures that websites support business goals.

Because Taryn is passionate about helping small businesses get onto the web, she’s introduced some innovative practices to help people make their big dreams a reality. These include the Noodle Bar (an exclusive club for clients), and the ability to manage cashflow by paying for sites over 12 months.

In addition to working with clients spread all over the world, Taryn is very involved in the WordPress community: she co-organizes WPScotland, her local WordPress user group, and is a member of the official WordPress Theme Review Team, the folks who make sure that all the free themes available via the WordPress site work properly before being let loose on the public.

As much as Taryn wears her ‘WordPress geek’ badge with pride, she has an innate knack for explaining complex technical subjects in a simple easy-to-understand manner.

I’m thrilled to have Taryn join us on August 15th from noon-1 (CST, Chicago), where she’ll talk about all kinds of cool “webby” things in her fabulous Scottish accent which makes everything sound so much cooler.
