About Our Guest
Cameron Barrett has been working in the web design and development industry for 20 years. He co-founded a dial-up ISP in Northern Michigan in 1995, taught "new media design" classes in 1996, pioneered the blog format in the late 1990s, and has since gone on to build large online community sites for General Wesley Clark (2004 presidential campaign), John Kerry, the U.S. Army (at West Point), The World Economic Forum and dozens of other companies, NGOs, and non-profits both large and small.
He is responsible for the 70+ WordPress multisite that powers the district and school web sites of Newark Public Schools, the largest district in NJ. Using WordPress, he cut the district's web site operating budget in half after the first year and is on target to cutting in half again for year two.
Cameron is now spinning up a "WordPress for Schools" services-based company called K12Presser that promises to bring this costs-savings model to all 14,000+ public school districts in the country. He encourages you to contact him to find out how he can help your district migrate off the expensive, proprietary, vendor-controlled, not-very-good SaaS solutions currently powering most district and school web sites.
