4 WordPress agencies on scaling, mistakes, and what actually stuck.

Building a WordPress agency doesn’t come with a manual. Most advice you’ll get is polished, simplified, or written after the hard parts are over … so we did something different.


We sat down with four agency leaders willing to talk honestly about the decisions that worked, the ones that didn’t and the moments that forced them to rethink how they ran their businesses.

Each section explores a different part of the journey.

AI, without the hype

What actually helps WordPress agencies and what doesn’t

How agencies are using AI in WordPress development, workflows and client work: where it delivers real value, and where it creates more friction than progress.

The mistakes that shaped success

The calls they got wrong and what they’d do over

Overhiring, saying yes to bad-fit clients, waiting too long to raise prices; lessons that only show up after things break.

How they found their niche

When what these agencies do best came into focus

Knowing your lane, choosing the right clients, and building for retention can make more of a difference than scrambling for volume.

Surprising predictions for the year ahead

What changes, and what stays the same

Not everything changes just because the technology does. Some fundamentals, like in-person trust, recognizable faces, and partnership-based growth, still matter more than algorithms.
