Background Story

During our annual WPBeginner reader survey, one consistent user suggestion has been the creation of a company that provides cost-effective WordPress development and website maintenance services. While our primary focus has been on developing WordPress plugins and software products, addressing this issue for our users became a priority.

I initiated discussions with friends who own WordPress development agencies to explore the prospect of officially directing customers to them. However, most mentioned being fully booked for several months and were in search of smaller agencies or freelancers for client referrals, particularly for projects with more modest budgets.

At WordCamp US this year, conversations with freelancers and boutique WordPress agency owners revealed a similar scenario – they too were consistently fully occupied. These discussions unveiled a prevalent trend: established WordPress agencies and freelancers weren’t inclined towards projects involving minor website customizations, maintenance, migrations, or projects with limited budgets. Instead, they expressed the need for a company that could facilitate white-label services, generating recurring revenue streams while ensuring high-quality services for their clients.

At WordCamp US, I also connected with Ryan and Gautam, the co-founders of Seahawk Media, who have been precisely addressing this need – providing white-label WordPress development services at groundbreaking prices.

As I delved deeper into their operations, I recognized the potential for a perfect partnership. Seahawk Media boasts an exceptional team experienced in providing white-label WordPress development services to notable companies such as Dreamhost, Alibaba Cloud, Vendasta, Pressable, GoDaddy, and more. Their service spectrum extends from tailored WordPress development to smaller, one-time tasks like WordPress site migration, website maintenance & care packages, hacked site repair, and other services.

Consequently, I made the decision to invest in Seahawk Media with two principal objectives:

  1. Provide small business owners with a dependable WordPress Pro services partner capable of handling all their website’s technical needs at cost-effective rates.
  2. Furnish our audience of freelancers and WordPress agencies with an excellent solution to establish recurring revenue by introducing white-label services to their clients.

Numerous agency owners and WordPress freelancers have already capitalized on Seahawk Media to furnish supplementary white-label services to their clients, thereby augmenting additional recurring revenue for their businesses.

Additionally, numerous web hosting companies leverage Seahawk’s white-label development services to engage and retain customers by offering professional website design services, website optimization packages, and more.

I eagerly anticipate collaborating with Ryan & Gautam through the WPBeginner Growth Fund and will provide guidance to their team on expanding their business. At Awesome Motive, we possess extensive experience in developing widely used WordPress plugins that cater to over 25 million websites, such as OptinMonster, WPForms, MonsterInsights, and many others.

Our WPBeginner growth fund has seen remarkable progress with portfolio companies like MemberPress, Formidable Forms, Pretty Links, Wholesale Suite, Uncanny Automator, and more over the years. The collective expertise shared will enable Seahawk Media and all of us to better serve the broader WordPress community. They will be joining me at our next Mastermind.

Once again, I extend my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support of WPBeginner. WPBeginner and Awesome Motive owe their existence to YOU, and I genuinely value each and every one of you.

I eagerly anticipate persistently serving you and the expansive WordPress and web ecosystem in the forthcoming years.
