At WordPress VIP, we believe our partner ecosystem is one of our greatest strengths. Our global network of expert agencies helps some of the world’s most influential media, enterprise, and public sector organizations modernize how they publish, scale, and operate.
To showcase that work, we created Behind the Build — a video series offering short, high-impact looks at how partners and customers are solving real-world challenges with WordPress VIP.
Our latest series highlights WebDevStudios and their work with Christianity Today, a national publication with a rich editorial legacy and a complex digital transformation mandate. Across four episodes, you’ll see how WDS helped modernize everything from editorial workflows to platform performance, homepage UX, and decades of archived content.
Episode 1: Editorial empowerment & workflow efficiency
Christianity Today’s editorial teams needed faster publishing cycles and more autonomy. In this episode, see how WDS restructured workflows and CMS permissions to reduce reliance on developers and streamline day-to-day publishing.
Episode 2: Performance & platform modernization
Episode 3: Homepage & design system overhaul
Episode 4: Content migration & CMS modernization
With more than 60 years of archived content, migrating to a new CMS was no small task. In the final episode, see how WDS created a custom process to normalize, structure, and preserve decades of content — making it fully editable inside WordPress.
Whether you lead editorial, oversee platform strategy, or manage digital transformation efforts, Behind the Build offers a firsthand look at what’s possible when flexible tools and proven partnerships come together.
