Ever since our start in 2004, SiteGround has been committed to providing powerful, yet simple to use managed WordPress hosting, which eventually led to us being one of the few companies officially recommended by WordPress.org. The 2020 edition of WordCamp Minneapolis is a special occasion for us, as it marks the fifth year of SiteGround supporting the event. 

We’re delighted to contribute to yet another local WordCamp, albeit remotely this time, and proud to continue strengthening the deep connection we have formed through the years with the WordPress crowd. While this year we won’t be able to meet in person at WordCamp Minneapolis, we encourage you to come learn about “The Future Of WordPress As a headless CMS”, in a virtual session by one of our WordPress ambassadors and renowned expert Mike Hale. His talk will shed light on what JAMstack is, what makes it a more reliable option from a security standpoint, and how WordPress can be integrated as a backend if you’d still like to use it. So, all pretty useful and practical knowledge if you’re getting serious about WordPress development.

Mike is a long-time WordPress developer and has spent years building amazing WordPress projects. He is a valued member of the SiteGround Ambassador program, an initiative through which we aim to amplify the efforts of trusted WordPress experts to educate and support people in different fields and levels of knowledge in the WordPress ecosystem.

Join us for SiteGround Ambassador Mike Hale’s session:

Developers love to build.

We at Web Ventures admire that. You have a superpower.

You’ve taken it through conception to reality. You’ve established annual recurring revenue. But maybe you’re bored. Or maybe support isn’t what inspires you.

If you feel stuck trying to decide if you want to be a business owner or move on to your next cool idea. We’ve been there:

The long hours. The endless meetings. The sleepless nights.

We’re here to help. We are probably the best advocates that you will find who walk with you through the process of selling your business for a fair price, while ensuring your customers are properly taken care of.

Anyway, I’d like to open up the possibility of having our team help grow your WordPress plugin business….most importantly…adding significant value to your customers/followers by helping them have an awesome customer experience by scaling the support levels of your plugin with our existing infrastructure including contact center, marketing, sales, designer, developer, UI/UX teams and more..

I have something I want to send you!!!

Simply email with your mailing address and we can drop it in the mail. My name is Mike Demopoulos (better known as Mike Demo, the People Connector) and I’m the “Lead Hand Shaker” at Web Ventures.

We have invested in or purchased companies such as W3 Total Cache, Sprout Invoices, Elegant Marketplace, and weForms. We have the resources to invest in or purchase your plug in, take care of your customers, and make your creation thrive, all in a friendly, founder focused fashion.

If you are afraid that your business is not growing. If you are afraid that you are stuck in your present situation and not able to be flexible to accept other opportunities. If you are afraid to sell now, thinking you can just ride it out hoping to increase the valuation of your product before selling it on your own. If you said, “Yes, I am afraid!” to any of those statements, then we need to have a chat. We can fracture those fears! …I guarantee it.

There’s a reason most developers do not want to work with outside investors. They are scared!

Please be assured, we are not scary! We are here to help you in any way we can…. EVEN if it is not related to our core business! We’ve partnered with folks just like you and the results are … well let me share with what Dan Cameron former owner of Sprout Invoices said, “Web Ventures made things extremely easy!”

Cool, right? We do have a limit on the number of partnerships we can accept, so please, after reading this, reply immediately.

Let’s chat. Please feel free to email directly, or you can also reach me on https://meetings.hubspot.com/mikedemo/30-minutes-intro-consult-call

PS. Feel free to share this with someone you know that this may help or be applicable to.

You’re a WordPress developer, and you wear about 16 different hats.

The life of a creator means that you’re always on, always working on your clients’ projects, and always hunting for that next gig. But between hunting for new projects and working through client revision requests, technical infrastructure & maintenance falls into that I-don’t-even-wanna-deal-with-it space. 

We get it. 

Nexcess is a hosting company that specializes in Managed WordPress, WooCommerce, and Magento sites, but we’re ALSO a team of creators and entrepreneurs.

We’ve been in your shoes and we know that you want to spend time on the phone with tech support about as much as you want to file your taxes or visit the dentist. 

Hard pass.

Thankfully, there’s a team of pros here at Nexcess to do it for you.
