Code Diva is just my day job

I’m Laurie M. Rauch, and I’ll be your Code Diva
I believe that great user experiences start at the first line of code. I specialize in developing WordPress themes using standards-compliant XHTML and CSS, and I provide WordPress customizations, coaching, and workshops.

In addition to one-on-one coaching, I’ve taught Advanced Web Design at Sheridan College and Web Page Design at Seneca College. I was also a teaching assistant for Seneca’s Webmaster program.

I have over 10 years’ experience in web development, as well as 15 years’ experience as an editor/writer/content producer, working for companies such as Rogers Yahoo!, Pricewaterhouse Coopers, Carswell Thomson Professional Publishing, and Wal-Mart Canada.
