WordPress allows us to offer more to our clients.
When TechStudio was founded in 2008 we made a decision right from the beginning to dedicate ourselves to the WordPress community. There were many good emerging content management system at the time, but WordPress had a few factors that made it the clear choice.
- WordPress is the most well-documented framework of its kind available for the LAMP architecture.
- It is completely open-source and GPL compliant.
- It's easy to use and highly capable. WordPress lets us offer more features to our clients for less, and lets our clients manage sites themselves.
- There is a humungous (and growing) community surrounding WordPress.
- WordPress lends itself to Search Engine Optimization techniques right out of the box. This means a lot to us and our customers who are trying to make themselves visible on the web.
Now that over three years have gone by, it couldn’t be more clear that basing TechStudio on WordPress was the right decision. It allows us to offer web sites that our customers can manage. It allows us to answer ‘yes’ when our clients ask us to make their web site perform functions that help them do business on the web.
We Create Plugins
As we build one site after another for our clients, we’ve begun to notice some recurring themes among the requests for dynamic functionality. There were tasks that we were performing over and over that needed automation to increase efficiency. We decided to start creating plugins that we knew were useful to every web site we created. Many of these plugins are not only useful for us, but they are useful to other developers and community-members who manage their own sites. TechStudio plugins are GPL2 compliant, part of the WordPress Extend system and open to the WordPress community. Some of our plugins have premium features or hosted options which can be purchased right here on the site.

We use WordPress plugins on all the sites we create.
Some functions that many of our sites need to perform are being serviced well by plugins written by other members of the WordPress community. We make an effort to recognize those plugins and support those who create and play our part in maintaining them. In an ongoing effort to support the WordPress community, we are creating budgets in all our projects for plugin support. Funds will be set aside for the plugins our clients benefit from in order to support their continued maintenance and growth.
