WP Mayor's Journey

2010

Founded

WP Mayor began back in 2010 when Jean Galea, our founder, wanted to document everything he’s learning about WordPress as he ran his web agency. It was a great way to keep track of what he’s learning, but also to share those lessons with others around the world. Slowly but surely, WP Mayor grew to one of the most popular WordPress blogs in the world.

2014

Growth

Having run WP Mayor for many years, Jean involved Alyona and Mark to keep the project moving forward as he started to focus on other areas. During these years, WP Mayor kept providing readers with product reviews, tutorials, articles, and much more, ensuring that we live up to the reputation built by Jean himself. New ideas led to the creation of marketing services for WordPress business owners and an improved operations setup.

2020

Revival

A decade in, Mark and Tom took over to run the show alongside a team of experienced writers and reviewers, with Jean and Gaby helping guide the project. Our goal remained to provide millions of WordPressers around the world with honest reviews and tutorials related to all things WordPress. From products to services and integrations, we continued to do our best to keep everyone up-to-date with our recommendations.

2026

Momentum

In 2026, WP Mayor enters a new chapter led by Mark, Tom, and Alex. We’re refreshing our content from the ground up, narrowing our focus to the topics that matter most, and investing our time and resources into what’s next for WordPress and AI in the broader web ecosystem. The goal is simple: clearer guidance, higher-quality insights, and content that helps readers make smarter decisions as the web changes fast.
