Our Story

Way Way Back (Before WordPress Even Existed)

Back in the last century, WPRiders Founder Marius Vetrici received access to a ZX Spectrum home computer and starting teaching himself BASIC. He was good enough with algorithms to represent his country in the International Olympiad in Informatics in high school.

To say he was in love with computer science would be an understatement. 14 years of university-level study ensued, including a 7-year PhD program focused on software development.

And then he started putting his skills to use commercially for over a decade with inventory management software that was adopted by companies across the globe and even governments.

And he saw first hand how great digital tools could enable people to create great companies and poorly implemented tools could be a huge hindrance, even causing companies to go out of business. 

And around this time, a little blogging software was starting to get some traction…

WPRiders Launches

Who would know what it takes to deliver great digital products on-time better than someone who studied that process for 7 years.

While technical skills like programming language proficiency matter, any serious project is a team game and the right culture is the most critical component.

So in 2015, Marius put the puzzle together…

  • He learned WordPress and started extending its capabilities via his CS skills.
  • He wrote out the set of company values that would allow him to build the agency he always wanted.
  • He started taking great care of clients and demand only grew.
  • Word of the culture started attracting some of the most talented folks in the world including future CEO Andrei Oprea.

And pretty soon, some of the most well-known companies from across the globe decided WPRiders was the external team to extend their internal team for mission-critical digital infrastructure development and maintenance.

WPRiders Today

With nearly a decade providing mission-critical work, the company has evolved.

Founder Marius Vetrici handed the CEO reins to Andrei Oprea, allowing him to focus more on research and development.

CEO Andrei Oprea is growing the WordPress development and maintenance lines of business but also looking to the future, with the company now able to offer No-Code, Low-Code development, extensive API/integration support, and monetizing a number of internal products developed.

What hasn’t changed is the culture.

Yep, We Built the Agency We Always Wanted:

  • World-class technical capabilities
  • Always aware of emerging threats
  • Off-the-charts reliability
  • Timely & responsive
  • Fairly-priced & fiduciary approach to budgets
  • Capable of bringing any design to life
  • Always seeking a competitive edge
  • Friendly, honest, & humble

And then we built the team to make it available 24/7 to global companies that care as deeply about their teams and their clients as we do.

#BLESSED

Fun fact: we have 1500+ 5-star reviews but what makes us most proud is how many companies we’ve served for many, many years.

I couldn’t be more excited about the capabilities of this team and what we’re able to accomplish for forward-thinking companies across the world.

We are truly blessed to work in an organization where culture matters, and our clients can feel that difference.

I look forward to learning more about your business and how we can integrate with you to manage mission-critical development and maintenance tasks, so you can focus on achieving your business goals!

I wouldn’t have been able to do this project without them. WPRiders is an integral part of the success of this product.

I wouldn’t have been able to do this project without them. WPRiders is an integral part of the success of this product.

WPRiders is also very good at finding the most efficient way to finish project tasks. They’re mindful of our budget, and their team balances efficiency and comprehensiveness with our financial constraints. They’ve been very responsive to our concerns and are willing to make adjustments when necessary.

The Bureau of Small Projects

Rolling Hills Estates, California, USA

I couldn’t say anything. They’re pretty flawless.

Our company focuses on design and branding—this particular project required sophisticated website coding. There was a custom product bathroom builder that we had to build, which involved complex customizations. It was built for WooCommerce, but they had to create the custom plugin and code the entire site.

WPRiders grasped the project in the beginning and executed it almost flawlessly. The quality of the code was spectacular. It was very clean. We audit all of the code that comes through our company. This was as good as anything we’ve seen.

The end product went very smoothly, and it corresponded very closely with the flow charts that were created in discovery. There were not a lot of adjustments that needed to be made.”

The one thing that distinguishes them is the ability to understand the project’s scope. The discovery phase of the project was great. They also know how to make complex projects simple, which is hard to find with developers.

Stack by Stack

Newport Beach, California, USA

Their system for managing the project was very simple yet effective. The site’s performance has increased by 80%.

We wanted to solve all of the errors made by the original developer. Additionally, we wanted to have new customizations to increase the speed and overall performance of the site.

We searched for developers online and considered many WordPress experts. We chose them because of their excellent reputation and they stood out from the other vendors in their field.

To begin, our point of contact gathered our requirements and planned their scope and budget for the project. Then, they modified the logic within the WordPress theme so it would function properly — this required a significant amount of coding on the backend. They fixed our cross-browser compatibility issues. Their team also reconfigured several plug-ins and migrated the entire site to a new hosting service.

Their system for managing the project was very simple yet effective. 

They have a fast response time and communication within their team is strong. We were always on the same page; it was refreshing to work with a company like them.

The most impressive strengths are organization, communication, business acumen and technical expertise.

WPRiders were selected after an extensive search that was narrowed down to 3 firms. We needed an agency who communicated well, had a track record of delivering results, understood business needs as well as web development, appeared eager for our business and was able to deliver everything on budget.

Clear and honest communication during the development process was also a very important factor in our decision.

WPRiders worked with me to establish a scope of work including a process flow that we all agreed on before development began. This gave a framework for the work to be done and also set expectations for what I would receive and when. Once we agreed, the development and testing teams took over and began work.

I was updated via email throughout the process and had a standing meeting via video call every Wednesday. On this call, I was given a progress report on what had been accomplished and we walked through any questions they had. It was during this time that I had an opportunity to provide feedback on what had been done and what was about to be done.

The most impressive strengths are organization, communication, business acumen and technical expertise.

I felt they knew exactly what I expected each step of the way, we communicated easily to prevent double work and avoid mistakes, they understood what I needed and, in many cases, made changes knowing that it’s what I would want and created a very robust MVP website that has more functionality than I had even hoped

Media Platform

Nashville, Tennessee, USA

They’re the best agency developer I’ve ever worked with in [the project management] sense. Everything is organized and on target. They have great communication skills.

We had previously spent a lot of money on web development for this platform with another company. We had an audit done in the summer and were told there were some major flaws and problems with our site. The company that did all of the work didn’t seem to understand how to be strategic when thinking about the big picture of a website as complex as ours. We hired WPRiders to retool, improve, and fix the problems we had.

We ran our site through several metrics before and after their work so far and there’s already a considerable amount of improvement. 

They’re the best agency developer I’ve ever worked with in that sense. Everything is organized and on target. They have great communication skills.

They’re very smart and have the ability to offer strategic thinking, insight, and are able to see how the whole project fits together. Especially a site like ours being built by someone else, a lot of good developers didn’t even want to take it on because of that, but Marius just jumped right in and he’s doing a great job. He’s not just doing web development; he’s trying to see how the development of this website will contribute to my business objectives and how we can make it sustainable and functional.

Are there any areas for improvement or something WPRiders could have done differently?
Nothing I can think of.

I have to mention this is a very complex website with 7 languages and hundreds of articles…Some of the things we loved about WP Riders

Predictability – this team is very predictable; I knew what to expect from them right off the bat, from the first meeting and throughout the whole 3 years since we’ve been working together. 

Reliability – the team is highly disciplined and methodic thanks to their culture. They have the right people on board as well as the processes that support the service delivery. 
Technical WordPress acumen – their team had the most compelling knowledge about WordPress and about the challenges we were facing with our support website.

AI Solutions Company

Silicon Valley, California, USA

They follow through with what they promise, so I know I can rely on them.

We were launching a new program in the U.S. and needed to update the accompanying website. Its frontend was dated, clunky, and could use new copy. We brought WPRiders in to revamp the site altogether.

The website’s previous build consisted of too many interactive elements that disrupted the UX. Its poor design resulted in low web traffic and an even lower conversion rate. Thanks to WPRiders, the site now looks like a professional SaaS platform that can rival our competitors in Silicon Valley. By building on WordPress, I could make changes to the site without having to hire third-party designers. Overall, their efforts have increased sales and helped change the U.S. market’s perception of our company.

They’re flexible and able to accommodate frequent project changes.

They follow through with what they promise, so I know I can rely on them.

Paperwork Pros

Oak Brook, Illinois, USA

WPRiders is an awesome company for many reasons. One of those is that they really know how to successfully work with customers to deliver successful projects. A big part of the success of our project was that we were assigned an amazing WPRiders project manager.

They did a great job delivering items on time and they always responded to our needs. What I really appreciate about our assigned WPRiders project manager is that he was a former WordPress developer. His experience as a WordPress developer and a project manager made him very effective in managing our project.

I am so pleased with WPRiders that I can’t think of anything they need to improve. This isn’t an area for improvement but I really liked the people that I worked with at WPRiders and we built good relationships during the course of the project. On a more personal side, I would some day enjoy meeting the WPRiders people face to face since we did everything through online meetings and electronic communications. They seem like great people to spend time with.

Education Company

Chicago, Illinois, USA

When I ask them for something, they do it one hundred percent. That’s what I was missing with other development companies.

I’d been trying to build the platform since 2016. I had worked with some local companies in Chicago until 2018, but they didn’t work out, so I needed a new partner.

They’re confident about their work, which they do really well. When I ask them for something, they do it one hundred percent. That’s what I was missing with other development companies.

I’ve been impressed by their speed and quality. When I ask them for something, they read my mind and even complete my sentences sometimes. I haven’t had any difficulties explaining things to them.

Their pricing is also surprisingly good.
