Today we are going for something different here at WP Mayor, we’re taking a look at the most well-known WordPress agencies and companies. These are companies who have constantly been producing top notch WordPress websites for a number of years, and their people are well known in the WordPress community.
They can serve as an inspiration for you if you would like to build a new company based on providing WordPress services, or you might also end up trying to join one of these companies if you prefer having a job with established people.
The basis of this selection is purely my observation of the WordPress industry during the last couple of years. There are of course many more great WordPress freelancers, companies and agencies, however these are the best ones which I have come across. They have been producing excellent work that has served as an incentive to improve my own skills, and I hope you will also find them inspiring.
Saucal
Saucal is based in Toronto, Canada. They’re WooCommerce specialists and are also WP Engine partners.
Saucal is all about building your business online; harnessing the power of the Internet to realize your true business potential in ways you’ve never thought possible. They design revenue-maximizing WordPress sites that actually drive the growth of your web-based sales; improve user experience; and, tackle highly personalized and complex tasks related to your business.
Saucal develop customized apps and plugins that succeed in capturing leads and increasing sales power. While others may build you a beautiful looking website, Saucal builds websites that attract new business in the virtual world. Of course they look beautiful, too.
I know the guys from Saucal personally and highly recommend them. What I love about them is that they really focus on your business results, and they make sure that your new website is a real investment that generates great retuns rather than just being one other business expense.

Iron to Iron is a company of two because they believe the best results come from a direct partnership with clients. In other words, they do the work and they maintain the relationship.

Hi Tony, as I described in the post it’s my own personal selection based on my involvement and observation of all things WordPress during the last couple of years. The portfolio and contributions of these companies should be enough evidence that they are up there at the top and worth following.
Hi Jean
Understood!
Cheers
Great list. The only one I have had interaction with is 8bit and they are a great group of guys. Thanks for sharing this info!
Some names I know here and a few I don’t. Great list of teams to check out for inspiration. Thanks!

Amazing design Stephanie!
Thanks for listing 10up. In a nit rather opposite to 8BIT’s, we are one word and all lower case: 10up, not 10 UP. Thanks again!
Ok, fixed that 🙂
There are a lot of really awesome companies in this list. I studied quite a few of them when I was setting up a roadmap for where we’d like to be within the next two years.
We’re just getting rolling, so hopefully when you do a 2013/2014 redux you’ll be including FAT Media in the list! 😉
Next round, we need to add in codyL. 😉
Great list. There are so many web development agencies out there, it’s hard to get a good read on who will be the best fit for your needs. Our company, AlphaPoint, has been working with a great team at HSM for a number of years. We highly recommend these guys, very creative and responsive group!

Hi Jean, I believe Exygy belongs in that list. We do a lot of advanced WordPress work for our awesome clients, and are very involved in the WP community. We co-host the San Francisco WordPress meetup with Automattic, we build plugins, we blog about WordPress, and we contribute to the WP core.

Thanks for the compilation Jean, I can certainly recognise most of them from their contribution in the WordPress community/industry.
Like you said there are of course a lot more great WordPress professionals out there that don’t get mentioned or recognised because they simply don’t come out as much. Do you have any thoughts on how those can stand out in this crowd?

A Great list of WordPress development companies. A few months ago, I was looking for a WordPress development company to build my business website. I found a list of companies by searching on the web, but I was so confused. At that time, My friend recommended me one company “Thinsquare” that provides website development services. I contact with the company to build my site and Really, the company provides quality services. I am very happy with their services.
Hi, Emma. I am also looking for a company to build my Ecommerce business website. Can you share the link of website?
Just try http://www.segurotechnologies.com I got the reference from WPmayor and that was nice. Thanks WPmayor for the discussion.

Awesome! This is what i was in a hunt for. Thanks for the info.
Recently done one great project with http://www.segurotechnologies.com/ awesome guys. Highly recommended
I checked many of pages from list – pretty impressive. I believe every wordpress agency would like to be on such lists. We look forward to the future to be helpful to everyone (by plugins or themes) but at this moment we focus on being a perfect partner for our clients, So these types of letters are for us.
How about including a few Australian agencies on the list? Here is one agency that I think deserves a spot on this list- Websites ‘N’ More.
Awesome list! Check out http://www.kotacreative.co.uk who make beautiful WordPress websites.
https://www.NoahCreativeGroup.com is a NY WordPress Design Agency who creates custom WordPress websites
Webdesign7.co.uk is a bespoke website development agency using WordPress as a prefered CMS.
We also have developed a number of WordPress plugins and custom themes. So for really advanced website development Webdesign7 is the agency of choice. Located in South London.
Hey Jean, thanks for this list. Do you have an update for 2018?:-) No pressure, no rush, just curious. Cheers!
Most if not all these agencies are still performing very well so I don’t think it would be much different in 2018. I recently used WP Riders for one of my projects and can recommend them. If you need to contract them for some work let me know and I’ll probably be able to get you a discount 😉
