About

My name is Eric Hamm and I live in Charlottesville, Virginia with my beautiful wife Liz, our ‘cute as a button’ little boy, Tyson, and our two Miniature Dachshunds Abi and Ginger.

A Geek By Trade | A Geek At Heart

I have worked with and around computers most of my life. Whether as a hobby or as a business I have enjoyed many years of experience in this fast paced field.  Back in January of 2004 I started my computer consulting business.  For 5 years I served my technology clients on the ground as I aided in their everyday computer needs.

Still enjoying the exploration of this wonderful world of technology, but desiring the utilization of my design skills and Internet expertise, I decided to move my business to the Cloud.

Moving on to a different field of technology.

Since July of 2008 I have been a vigorous blogger. In that time I’ve quickly gained the necessary knowledge to not only build websites (using a platform called Wordpress), but had become the go-to-geek when it comes to setup, design and troubleshooting both Wordpress blogs and websites.  I’ve thoroughly enjoyed creating my own content, but have also had a blast diving into this exciting field of site design, and more recently, Wordpress Theme Development.

Since I started my online ventures I have worked with many new clients as well as my previous computer consulting clients, building blogs as well as other styles of websites. I’ve also spent some time with general online consulting as I’ve aided my clients in their attempts to make their mark on the Internet. Whether it be business related or just plain personal fun, I’ve enjoyed sharing my services with the many newcomers to this big pond we call the World Wide Web.

The Next Chapter

Now that I’ve created one of the most easily customizable Wordpress Themes available, and after enjoying the ease and simplicity of Wordpress, I’ve moved onto full blown Theme Development and transitioned this website into a more Do-It-Yourself’ site that shows the reader how easy it is to create their own website, and do so without spending a ton of money.

So I hope you enjoy the content on this site, as well as frugalTheme.com.  We are in a new age of the Internet and it is time for you to grab your own plot of Internet Real Estate, and I’m here to help you do this!
