19 WordPress VIP Testimonials

“This powerful combination of content and analytics will push the industry forward at an accelerated pace.”

“Using VIP means that I don’t have to bring in an operations team. My developers don’t have to worry about ‘is the site up or down’, but can focus on creating. VIP does code review, which reassures me that we’re not going to be putting code in that’s going to cause scalability or security problems. Having that second layer of control is a real positive. Frankly, I’d rather have my team focused on being creative and innovative than spending time worrying about architecture.”

“We have enormously improved our efficiency since we don't need additional teams or third parties to support code review or infrastructure. And because we need almost no back end development resources in-house, it’s almost all front end, today we have a smaller development team. We can focus on what matters, which is producing content and generating value. We don’t have to care about servers and backups for example, all of that is covered with VIP.”

“That’s why I love using WordPress. Broadly, the platform is just so easy to use And it was really easy to train people on how to make simple edits.”

“Everything from understanding how your edge servers and your CDNs work to how your security teams work and your pen testing works—all of it gave me a sense of calmness to say, Okay. We have a partner who can just go handle this."

“After we stabilized the code we wanted for the common theme (about a month of work), we were able to roll out 60 live sites with WordPress.com VIP in 3 weeks.”

"Basically it’s like we hired another engineer. Now we have an extra set of eyes that are looking at it from that perspective, so that helps us a lot with availability and performance.”

“By moving to WordPress.com VIP, we were able to not worry about downtime and whenever we push our code up for deployment they run an additional code check to make sure we’re not pushing anything up to production that could potentially be catastrophic. Things like security we no longer have to think about. So this allows our team to focus on building awesome stuff.”

“With Gutenberg, we were able to publish a breaking news story in two minutes versus five minutes in Classic [WordPress]. The main reason for this is the reusable blocks which have been renamed ‘The Game Changer.’ ”

“Since moving to WordPress VIP, we have observed an increase in monthly visits along with lightning-fast load times and near-zero downtime.”

“In the past, the staff didn’t touch the CMS. They wrote things in Word, sent it to the production team, and they put it online. With WordPress, that workflow is changing slowly and dramatically. We’ve trained many of our content creators in the CMS. And, the closer the content creators are to it, the more creatively they are able to think about it.”

“The VIP platform is not static, it’s not like ‘Okay, this is what you get.’ Koen explains. “It’s more collaborative really. They understand what companies are looking for and why it’s important, and they try to look at ways they can address that within the platform, and that’s super encouraging.”

"This was one of our smoothest and most successful launches to date. Everyone who reviewed the site – both before and after launch – commented on the exceptional quality. This was down to an incredible effort led by you all, with a focus and dedication that was a joy to be involved in."

“Certainly from my perspective, WordPress has been a great success — with WordPress VIP giving us that enterprise-level of assured quality on top.”

“I can only say that we’ve managed to pull this off spectacularly only because of the support that your team has given us If anything, it would be an understatement to say that we’ve had great and amazing service from you and your team.”
