Meet the instructor

Warren Laine-Naida

When building my first website in 1998, I discovered a passion for digital thinking. Today, as Web Generalist and Teacher, I share that passion through my consulting, workshops, and coaching, which I offer for all types of people and organizations.

I believe that everyone deserves a world class digital presence even if they don’t have a world class bank balance. Nonprofit organizations, clubs, schools, and small business owners often have big plans but smaller budgets.

Your goals are worthwhile, and I take pride in helping you achieve those goals at a reasonable price.
