We've been building amazing things with WordPress since 2009.
Formed as a web design company in our garden shed (well, summer house!) building websites for local businesses.
A Google Ads campaign helped us find a wider audience, allowing us to specialise in more advanced development. We built links with customers across the UK and overseas.
Our WordPress agency continued to expand. We built a remote team of WordPress designers and developers to allow us to scale onto larger projects.
After trying (and failing!) to launch a WordPress theme, we continued to grow our WordPress agency. We started building small plugins as our next 'side hustle'.
We launched our first plugin on wordpress.org in early 2016, followed by more free and premium plugins that same year. We split our time between supporting the plugins whilst continuing agency work with our existing clients.
The success of our plugins allowed us to scale back on client work, and we became more focussed on super-charging our plugins!
We spent the year making each of our plugins the best on the market, adding new features and improving documentation and support.
We launched our new website (this one!), as well as four new plugins.
Despite the difficulties caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, we had a record year and released 5 new plugins.
Watch this space... several new plugins are currently in the works for 2020!
