Our mission is to help WordPress businesses grow and thrive

WordPress goes beyond democratizing publishing – it’s a counterforce to Big Tech’s stranglehold, built for everyone rather than a privileged few.

WordPress’ market share is proof that Open Source can succeed. You should be proud as you have contributed to that.

This is our shared mission. But for it to flourish, you must too.

Five years ago the ‘build it and they will come’ approach was enough. Today, you’re competing against many entrepreneurs and well-resourced businesses.

If you’re a developer, you have two options: learn and sharpen growth skills or hire a pro. Either way, it’s an investment in time and money.

We originally built WP BizDev as a job board to help you find the right growth professional, whether you are looking to hire someone on a permanent basis, or for project work.

We’ve added content and community so you can learn from others and share your experiences and success stories.

We also want to introduce Marketing and Sales folk to the WordPress ecosystem and open source more generally. We believe that the  community and culture are a significant career value-add.

It’s free to join and participate

We want to build a community of growth professionals, product and development folks to help each other thrive. 

As a Pro member, you can participate in our Slack-like community, publish a profile and post your news and ideas in our Notepad.

It’s free to join.
