Managed WordPress Hosting<\/a>\u00a0for European agencies and entrepreneurs that is fast, secure and stable. From the community for the community.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\nHow do you help support WordPress enthusiasts and professionals?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n
First of all, all\u00a0not-for-profit WordPress\u00a0related sites host for free at Savvii.\u00a0Secondly, we believe that\u00a0sharing = caring. We are very focused on helping the community with relatable and actionable content. Not only\u00a0hosting related. For example: How agencies can grow with recurring revenue models, how\u00a0WooCommerce\u00a0shops can prepare for the holiday season or which themes are a smart choice\u00a0to implement. We also host events that are not WordPress specific, like PHP and tech meetups.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
What kind of client would be a good fit for you, and who wouldn\u2019t?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n
Especially three types of clients are very happy with us: Agencies,\u00a0developers, and\u00a0entrepreneurs, like publishers\u00a0or bloggers with a large\u00a0audience. We only do\u00a0WordPress\u00a0hosting\u00a0and\u00a0nothing else, period. That focus is real important to us.\u00a0Companies looking for generic hosting solutions, like domains and other-than-WordPress CMS’, are not our target audience.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n
How\u00a0does\u00a0your organization add value to the WordPress community?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n
We do a few things that are implemented in the core of Savvii. We\u2019re community-driven. That means we organize Meet-ups (WordPress Meetup Nijmegen, our home town) and help organizing others. Also, we\u2019re contributing much to\u00a0WordCamps. Not only by sponsoring, but also by volunteering, coming to Contributor Days with a large team and by giving talks. Next to that, we develop for and with open source software. For example, our plugin,\u00a0Warpdrive, is open source. We also contribute development time improving open source software.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Is there anything in WordPress that you would change, and why?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n
We would love WordPress to be\u00a0friendlier\u00a0to the modern developer, for example with a MVC set-up, and to\u00a0stop supporting ancient PHP versions. We also would like WordPress to become even more friendly for enterprise customers with a better roles & user rights system.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Where will WordPress be in 2 years from now?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n
Aah, the good old crystal ball, like\u00a0Automattic,\u00a0we are\u00a0a\u00a0strong\u00a0supporter of net\u00a0neutrality.\u00a0That is going to be the next battle of the Internet, and we\u2019re going to fight it together. As for the software itself, because more and more\u00a0(bigger)\u00a0companies\u00a0adopt\u00a0WordPress,\u00a0a shift to more enterprise features will be necessary. Think of high availability options,\u00a0better multisite and multi-language options built-in and more granular user management.\u00a0At the moment though, it looks like development is heading the other way, with Gutenberg focusing on a broader audience.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Is there anything else that you would like the WordCamp attendees know?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n
I am giving a\u00a0workshop\u00a0about recurring revenue for agencies on the Contributor Day and I am combining it with some Roman\u00a0history. So if you want to know how to grow your company with a subscription model and learn some cool facts, please join us!\u00a0And if you\u2019re interested in talking with us: We\u2019re the guys in the blue\u00a0Wapuu\u00a0shirts!<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
