Josh Liljenquist (Joshlilj)
Web Development & SEO Strategist
Josh supports Veteran Excellence Magazine’s website development, technical search visibility, accessibility, and reader experience, helping make its reporting easier to discover and navigate.
His work at VEM
His work includes auditing mobile layouts, navigation, accessibility, and search metadata, developing the magazine’s team and profile pages, and preparing technical improvements for the reader experience.
Editorial decisions and reporting remain under the direction of Founder & Editor-in-Chief Camille D. Ford. Josh’s technical role is separate from the magazine’s story selection, reporting, and article authorship.
Why Supporting Veterans Is Personal to Me
My father served in Desert Storm, and my grandfather served in Vietnam. That family connection is a meaningful reason I’m helping Veteran Excellence Magazine improve its website, technical SEO, accessibility, and digital reach. I want to help make the magazine’s reporting easier to find, read, and navigate while supporting Camille’s independent editorial vision.
