Short answer

A WordPress.com Partner is an agency in Automattic's partner program that builds and manages sites on WordPress.com's managed platform. Hiring one means your site uses the block editor and a custom block theme properly, runs on managed hosting with backups and security handled, and stays editable by your team without a developer in the loop. wordpress.com/partners

What we do

What you can hand us

Custom block themes

Themes built on the block editor with reusable patterns, design tokens, and editor guardrails.

Editorial platforms

Multi-author workflows, taxonomies, embargoes, newsletters, and structured content for publishers.

Managed migrations

Move onto WordPress.com or VIP with content, media, users, and redirects fully intact.

Ongoing support

Updates, security, accessibility fixes, and new page builds on a predictable monthly plan.

What every engagement includes

  • Custom block theme with locked patterns for editors
  • Content model built around how your team actually publishes
  • Managed hosting setup with backups and staging
  • Semantic HTML, per-page meta, and JSON-LD schema
  • WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility pass before launch
  • Redirect map and SEO carryover on migrations

What we will not do

  • Page-builder plugins that lock your content in shortcodes
  • Themes bought from a marketplace and lightly recolored
  • Plugin stacks nobody has audited
  • Charging you for every text change after launch

More questions

Which WordPress host do you recommend?
It depends on the site. WordPress.com suits marketing and editorial sites that want zero ops. WP Engine suits plugin-heavy business sites needing staging and fine-grained control, and we are a WP Engine Advanced Partner. WordPress VIP suits high-traffic publishers with enterprise security requirements.
