We are thrilled to announce that Filter have become a WordPress VIP partner, securing it’s place within the enterprise WordPress ecosystem.
Becoming a WordPress VIP agency partner is a significant development for Filter, supporting our future focus on delivering scalable enterprise solutions. Having gone through the WordPress VIP vetting process, we demonstrated our skills, experience and capability in developing WordPress websites that are scalable, secure, flexible and crucially performant to business needs.
We’re a team that works on leading competitor enterprise platforms such as Optimizely (Episerver) and Sitecore, though we are now adopting WordPress VIP as our platform of choice. With WordPress now powering 39% of the web and 26% of the top 10,000 sites in the world, we are confident that the platform will see steady growth year on year. We are proud to be a part of this journey, especially as we are one of only 5 agency partners in the UK.
For the team at Filter, there are several key benefits of being a WordPress VIP partner. Notably, WordPress VIP, which is run by Automattic, is investing in key parts of the WordPress infrastructure, including WooCommerce an open-source e-commerce plugin and Parsley an engagement analytics platform aimed at online publishers. With new content products and the development of features, as an agency partner, Filter now has unparalleled access to deliver the best solutions.
In addition, by having synergy with WordPress VIP, we have access to their roadmap, leading engineers, technical support, code reviews, resources and guidance. In reality, this means that our code for example is thoroughly reviewed and checked before it goes onto the platform. For our developers, this means that not only is there a standard to be met, but they also have access to ongoing support which ensures the team are continuously at the forefront of new developments and best practice.
Last but not least, Filter can help clients to reduce their costs. By hosting with WordPress VIP, we can cut costs on the platform whilst ensuring a stable and secure environment.

For our clients, this means the development and management of their websites are fully checked, processed and supported. Whilst also gaining from the expertise of the team in developing and implementing the right solutions.
Whilst these are clear benefits of adopting a WordPress VIP agency partner status, possibly the most important benefit is that of peace of mind. By being recognised as a partner of sufficient quality, one that has been checked and screened, we can offer our clients peace of mind that we have the technical ability, skills and entrepreneurial thinking to provide exceptional delivery and management of their WordPress VIP sites.
