01

What is BeLikeWater Media?

The concept for Be Like Water Media arose in North Wales, a@er a long surf session at a semi-­‐secret reef break. It was created as a plaGorm to promote my web design services, photography tour company, DJ work and creaLve arts workshops.

Tom Ramwell (owner) is now based in Westport, Co Mayo. He moved to the west of Ireland (a@er being biQen by the surfing bug) to be closer to the ocean.

Tom also owns Wild AtlanLc Photography Tours -­‐ the definiLve experienLal themed photography tour company on the west of Ireland.

How it works HosIng companies rent or sell the ‘space’ on the actual internet for you to ‘sit’ your website on. Prices vary depending on the host.

Web developers use their experIse to write the coding that produce literally thousands of themes (a website template), plugins (such as google maps, social media apps, events calendars etc) and soSware for a variety of different uses.

WordPress marry the developers and the web space, and has evolved to be used as full content management system, giving you the control to upload a ‘theme’, modify that theme, choose relevant plugins and then publish to the web.

What is Wordpress?

WordPress started in 2003 with a single bit of code to enhance the typography of everyday wriIng and with fewer users than you can count on your fingers and toes. Since then it has grown to be the largest self-­‐ hosted blogging tool in the world, used on millions of sites and seen by tens of millions of people every day.
