Meet Project 13 – Creativity + Passion = Success

Project 13 is a company driven by creative innovation. In this short interview Technical Director Lyndon Roeller shares what motivates the Project 13 team and why they are looking forward to being in Asheville this weekend. Their best clients are people, businesses, and organizations that have a great deal of passion for their work and are looking ot share that passion with the world.

1. What is your name and what do you do for your company? 
My name is Lyndon Roeller and I’m the Technical Director at Project 13. I provide web development and technical oversight.

2. What is the mission of your company? 
To build amazing brands and make happy clients.

3. What makes your products or services unique? 
We’re able to deliver both branding and web development in one shop. This makes setting up a new business (or re-branding an existing business) seamless. We can design your logo, business cards, menu, signage, etc., and then extend those assets to a custom website.

4. Why do you love WordPress? 
WordPress is a remarkably flexible platform for so many of our projects. Using WordPress, one of our clients went from a two location coffee shop business in NYC, to a 40+ location business spanning multiple states all using the same platform (and custom theme!).

5. Why are you excited to sponsor WordCamp?
I was amazed by how much actionable information and new contacts I came away with after last year’s WordCamp Asheville. I knew right then that I wanted to support this year’s event. We can’t wait to participate again and spend time with the community.
