With a team across Australia, The Code Company is a specialist technical agency that helps media companies discover the best way to build, operate and monetise their publishing platforms with WordPress.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With over 5,000 agencies worldwide, WP Engine\u2019s global <a href=\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/agency-partner-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Agency Partner Program<\/a> (APP), the largest in WordPress, helps agencies of all sizes use the world\u2019s favorite CMS to grow their business by driving creative, engaging experiences that deliver clear impact for their clients. WP Engine Asia-Pacific experienced 47% growth in agency partners in 2020.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are incredibly proud to recognise The Code Company as our first strategic partner in the region,\u201d said Mark Randall, Vice President of Sales APAC for WP Engine. \u201cIn the dozens of solutions we\u2019ve partnered on together, I\u2019m proud of the best-in-class enterprise WordPress solutions we\u2019ve built for our joint clients. The Code Company team\u2019s inventive solutions deliver clear and compelling results for clients helping to modernise their technology stack, obtain greater creative flexibility and most of all, grow their digital publishing business.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Two of the greatest fears of any digital publisher involve their site crashing under traffic spikes, or worse, having their site hacked or compromised\u201d said Ben May, Managing Director at The Code Company. \u201cThis is why we don&#8217;t hesitate to recommend WP Engine. Having a partner that takes great care in our clients&#8217; site performance, stability and security means we can focus on delivering value.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Customer Case Studies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Code Company\u2019s clients include eBay Ads, Mumbrella, Nine Entertainment, Drive.com.au, Private Media, Her Campus, God Save The Points and the GFG Alliance.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>eBay Ads<\/strong> &#8211; eBay Ads is the central hub for advertising on the eBay global marketplace. Up until 2020, the business had no centralised platform and some regions operated from individual landing pages. The Code Company created a <a href=\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/case-studies\/ebay-ads-the-code-company-global-marketplace\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">frictionless digital experience<\/a> that helped bring the global brand of eBay Ads to life, with SEO in mind.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nine Entertainment<\/strong> &#8211; After the historic merger of Fairfax Media, and with an ambitious timeline before the annual upfronts, Nine needed to release a new corporate website to reflect the direction of the new brand and a unified message. The Code Company <a href=\"https:\/\/thecode.co\/case-study\/nine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">migrated their old site<\/a> from Sitecore to WordPress and developed a data model for one of the largest and most complex media businesses in Australia. The end result was a WordPress native solution that allows Nine&#8217;s internal team to manage their business unit&#8217;s complex structure with relative ease.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Agency Partner Program<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Launched in 2017, WP Engine\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/agency-partner-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Agency Partner Program<\/a> (APP) enables agencies to build their business with digital innovation instead of administration. Since its launch, the APP has grown exponentially, enrolling more than 5,000 agency partners thanks to the availability of extensive thought leadership and content resources, advanced developer tools and the opportunity for new business leads.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The three APP levels are Member, Advanced and Strategic. Being a Strategic Partner includes access to the Partner Portal, advanced developer tools, a co-branded landing page, partner communications, a free staging account on WP Engine, access to the Genesis Framework and 10 StudioPress Themes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional benefits include preferred partner directory listing, dedicated sales support, lead referrals, custom joint marketing, custom quarterly reviews and custom on-site training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about the Agency Partner Program and to apply, <a href=\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/agency-partner-program\/#form\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fuel the freedom to create with WP Engine<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WP Engine powers the freedom to create on WordPress.
