About LayerWP & Me.


Who am I? Why should you trust me? This is for you. 👇

Hey, I’m Ben 👋

I’ve been using WordPress for what seems like forever. I’m an avid writer by choice, not a necessity, and I love creating content about WordPress, whether it’s how-to’s, reviews, or general opinions.

It’s my go-to platform for building websites, whether personal projects, sites for friends or family, and obviously in creating LayerWP. Some have even said they love how I put things together.

Thanks, Mum.

I love being different.

There is a wealth of WordPress blogs about WordPress on the web, some better than others. Why bother reading what I put out there? I’ll be honest; I’m different and don’t follow hard and fast-set rules. LayerWP is a place to share my experiences, whether from performing reviews, giving tutorials, or a general opinion piece.

I tell it like it is. Yup, I do. If I review a WordPress theme or plugin/service, I’ll give you an honest verdict based on my experience. No bluff; I’ll tell you if something is wrong or I don’t like it.

If it’s excellent, I’ll tell you. I have no allegiance to anyone, so I can be impartial and offer a truthful account of a WordPress product.

Reasons for reading LayerWP

  • I set my own rules.
  • I write about what I want to write about.
  • I share my experiences.
  • I don’t mince my words.
  • I don’t B.S. and never mislead.
  • I’m a WordPress consumer; I want to help consumers.
  • My WordPress reviews are performed in a real-world environment.
  • If I spot a fault in a product during a review, I’ll tell you. Not gloss over it.
  • I don’t spin theme documentation for affiliate income.
  • I test and retest; if I encounter a problem with a product, I’ll give you the solution I used.
  • This is my space, my blog; I have no allegiance with any theme provider, plugin maker, or service company.
  • I’m an independent blogger and proud to be so.

Easy to follow, informative, and no fluff.

Easy To Understand​

I write in an easy-to-understand way, ensuring the content, whether a guide or review, is written in a way that benefits you.

Based on my findings, I am helping you learn something new or by helping you decide on whether a plugin/theme or service suits your needs.

Tips & Tutorials

Don’t expect in-depth articles on coding or anything like that. Not because I don’t want to, you understand; I’m not a coder, and I’d be lying if I said I was.

The last thing I want to do is mislead you, so if you’re looking for coding tips, etc., I’m not for you.

No Allegiance

I don’t recommend specific themes or plugins all the time. I like to mix things up and try new WordPress products.

The world would be boring if it were always the same old same old plugins and themes getting a mention.
