We’ve been partnering with some of our amazing customers
We love seeing how Bluehost has been able to assist customers websites grow and flourish through their understanding of WordPress. This year we decided to take a deep dive into getting to know local businesses and their website journeys. We were able to partner with these customers by completing on-site interviews and shooting videos that showcased how the success of a website and business go hand in hand.
We baked cookies live with Elisia of Teddy V Cookies
When we visited Teddy V. Patisserie based in Austin, Texas, our team was able to chat about the growth of her business while learning some pro baking tips. Elisia guided us through the art of baking and what makes her cookie company stand out from the rest. She shared how YouTube helped her learn the fundamentals of WordPress and that her biggest website accomplishment was installing her theme.
We created a special ice cream with Amy’s Ice Creams
Amy’s Ice Creams has been a customer with Bluehost since 2009 and exemplifies the power a small business can have when they build their site with WordPress. We couldn’t be more excited to partner with this fantastic small business who created our special “Bluehost Birthday Batter.” This sweet treat is a vanilla cake explosion comprised of Mexican Vanilla, white cake, and a pop of blue sprinkles.
We had a chat with Influencer, Photographer, and Small Business owner, Sasha Juliard
We were excited to partner with Sasha Juliard during our Bluetopia event in New York City. This globetrotting influencer and multi-faceted business owner sat down with our team to discuss marketing, travel, and his experience in website design. We loved hearing his journey to creating a company that helps to provide people with access to clean water and how that is reflected in his WordPress website.
We talked fashion and the importance of authenticity with Danielle Cooper
There was no shortage of amazing people we partnered with at Bluetopia, and Danielle Cooper shared her inspiring backstory for creating her blog, She’s a Gent. She chatted with us about how she came up with the concept for her website and how it reflects who she is as a person.
