The town is filled with creative types, competing against one another to stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>While BrightonWP&#8217;s\u00a0heritage lies in web design, we chose to specialise in customised WordPress website builds \u2013 not only does this help us differentiate, but it also means we can be experts in what we do.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to hosting sites, we historically used one provider for hosting and another for backups \u2013 as you can imagine this quickly drained resources and incurred unnecessary costs. As we grew our client portfolio as well as the number of websites we managed and hosted, we needed to consolidate this in order to maintain a profit margin while delivering an exceptional service.<\/p>\n<p>We realised we needed a WordPress hosting provider that could not only meet our current needs but could also grow with us and meet our future demands. After researching the options available to us, WP Engine was the standout choice.<\/p>\n<p>Looking back to four years ago, we managed around 20 sites \u2013 this number has now quadrupled, and we now design and develop 80 websites. As a result, we\u2019ve switched to a dedicated server to host the websites of our many clients including Headmasters, Battersea Dogs Home, and Pure360. It\u2019s WP Engine\u2019s scalability that makes them such an essential partner for us.<\/p>\n<p>The personal support from WP Engine is exceptional, and we\u2019ve had instances when the support team has gone above and beyond to diagnose any issues that arise as well as work with us until it\u2019s rectified. While we\u2019re a\u00a0nine-to-five agency, WP Engine provides the 24\/7 support to our clients when we\u2019ve closed the doors for the evening or weekend.<\/p>\n<p>WP Engine has been a game changer for us. Not only can we free up so much time by leaving the <a href=\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/managed-wordpress-hosting\/\">managed hosting for WordPress<\/a>\u00a0side of things to WP Engine, but we can also trust that our clients\u2019 sites are reliable. We\u2019re a huge advocate of WP Engine, and as WordPress specialists it\u2019s really important for us to have the infrastructure and right partner in place to support this.<\/p>\n<p><em>Want to read more stories from WP Engine customers?
