About Mark Root-Wiley
My name is Mark Root-Wiley. I grew up in Michigan; went to college in Grinnell, Iowa; spent time in Washington, D.C., and Durban, South Africa; and now live in Seattle, Washington.
Then
I’ve been making websites for the past 10 years. I’ve worked or interned with:
- MATRIX: The Center for Humane, Arts, Letters and Social Sciences Online at Michigan State University,
- Byte Back,
- Kabissa: Space for Change,
- Center for Public Participation (CPP), and
- Grinnell College.
I was also a founding member, leader, and web master for the Social Entrepreneurs of Grinnell, a microfinance nonprofit organization based in Grinnell, Iowa.
Now
I now run MRW Web Design making WordPress websites for nonprofits and small businesses.
Websites for Nonprofits
I have worked with a wide variety of clients, but my passion is for nonprofits. Through internships, jobs, and course work, I have come to believe in the power of mission-driven organizations to positively change the world. Small nonprofits with limited resources deserve high-quality websites just as much as huge corporations, and I’ve made it my business (literally) to build those sites.
