About Shannon Michael
I started my career as a writer/researcher for American Way Magazine. Soon after, I had an offer to join a new advertising agency opening in the Dallas area. There, I was assigned to write recruitment advertisements and HTML code for monster.com. I quickly fell in love with web programming and design.
​
I have worked with various companies over the years in varying roles, including copywriter, website manager, website content manager, director of marketing, etc. In April of 2021, I decided I would give freelance another shot. I, like many others, lost my full-time job during Covid, and I was looking for something I would enjoy. With my years of experience, most companies expected a lot from me. I wanted to return to web design and concentrate on one platform.
​
Wix became the platform of choice for me. I chose Wix because it is robust enough to handle large websites and has many extra features for smaller companies.
​
Today, I live in the Dallas area with my husband, 2 kids, a bearded dragon, a chameleon, and a hamster. I enjoy traveling to the beach and the mountains as much as possible.
