About

Our Story

At our core are our team leaders Matt and Kate Knighton. We work from our home office in Parkes NSW.

Our extended team is compromised of remote workers all over the world. It consists of web developers, designers, and content writers who fell in love with WordPress. In particular, we love Divi Builder by Elegant Themes and  Gutenberg because it allows us to deliver great results to our customers in a short amount of time.

We began building our own custom modules, child themes, and Divi plugins to allow us to do more with the Divi Builder and WordPress. All of these we use on our own client websites. In the true spirit of GPL, we released all our various products.

We are also a full-service Web Design Agency. To learn more about our website, SEO, Zoho, and digital coaching services – and how we can help your business – please check out What We Do.

MRK WP Africa

Our African story started with Matt’s visit to Uganda and Rwanda in 2019.

During one of Matt’s 360 photoshoots, he met with some guys at the location where he was doing his shoot. A conversation developed, and business cards were exchanged. A week or so later another meeting was scheduled, discussing possible collaborations on different ventures and ideas.

Ronnie, our Africa regional head for MRK WP, was part of that meeting. Fast forward, we have teams in Uganda, Rwanda as well as Nigeria.
