Call me to talk about

Starting and Growing WordPress Plugin / Theme Companies

I co-founded Caldera Labs, which brought together a consulting company alongside a product arm that created a suite of commercial open-source WordPress plugins. The flagship product, Caldera Forms, reached 100,000+ active installations, 2 million total downloads before being acquired by Ninja Forms (2019). If you are creating a new product for WordPress, or thinking about how to grow it to the next level, let’s talk.

You can learn more about my expertise in this topic by listening to my podcast’s episode on commercial open source at https://christiechirinos.com/podcast.

Managed WordPress Hosting

As the leader for the world’s first WooCommerce hosting product, Managed WooCommerce hosting at Liquid Web, I developed a product at the forefront of managed WordPress hosting innovation. The space is ripe for even more innovation, especially in headless, high performance, down-market (SaaS-like competitors), and more. I can discuss the current ecosystem with you, and tell you about both opportunities and potential challenges.

WordPress and WooCommerce Open-Source Ecosystem and Market Trends

I currently sit on the Gerson Lehrman Group council for WordPress and WooCommerce, advising new and existing investors on WordPress ecosystem dynamics to maximize return on investments. I started out as a WordPress development freelancer, and moved on to develop products, work at an agency, web hosting, and now lead strategic partnerships for the world’s largest marketplace for WordPress-related work. I can help potential investors and new outside entrants understand and navigate the culture of the open-source ecosystem, develop landscape and market analysis for the commercial ecosystem surrounding WordPress, and especially to zone in on the ecommerce products for WordPress. I will be happy to connect you with the right resources and companies when appropriate.

WordPress Website Development & Design

Whether it is your family business or your nonprofit, it may be powered by a WordPress website. It can be hard to figure out how to make that site look how you want it to. And, when you are ready to hire help, where do you start? Having worked with WordPress in the agency/freelance, product, hosting, and nonprofit contexts, I can help you take a strategic look at your current WordPress website. My approach isn't perfection, I focus on getting your site to your goals within your budget.
