About WPMU DEV
Made for web developers, by web developers
Since 2006, our award-winning WordPress plugins, hosting, world beating support and site management tools have helped hundreds of thousands of web developers, freelancers and agencies run and grow their businesses.
Why do we do this?
“Because we love creating, developing and supporting innovative products that delight our users. In as few words as possible... we want to have fun, while doing cool things.”
Together, a world apart
While we’re headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, we’re also the OG remote working company with colleagues based in every continent and timezone.
But we do hang out in person, too
From company meet-ups (NYC! Berlin! Bali!) to WordCamps around the World, we make a serious effort to get together in person.
