Giving Back
40+ Conference Speakers
Every year, 10uppers travel the globe to volunteer, speak at, and organize dozens of industry events. Whether its a local WordCamp or national jsConf, a niche Write the Docs or expansive CMS Expo, we make the time to share our expertise.
4,000+ Company Hours
Donated annually to popular open source projects — and those are just the hours on the books. Most 10uppers go above and beyond, dedicating their personal time to community projects, individual open source modules, and code freedom.
41 WordPress Contributors
10up has more contributors than most agencies have, well, staff. 2 of the 18 developers in the world who can directly commit changes to WordPress work here. Our Platform Director is a lead developer and members of the team have led WordPress 4.0 and 4.2. In short: we help make WordPress.
$50,000+ Event Sponsorships
We don’t just show up to speak or help organize; we partner with organizers and make significant financial contributions to help make these events a success.
What we believe
We believe that an open, collaborative Internet and the democratization of publishing – making the tools for building and telling stories simple and affordable – have been the engine of a web renaissance. The values of openness we espouse and the platforms that embody them are only as strong as the community behind them. We think it is incumbent upon those who succeed on the backs of these platforms to ensure their success. And do we: by donating hundreds of thousands of dollars annually by way of code contributions, material sponsorships, community organizing, our own projects, and sharing our expertise.
It’s not just good citizenship: it’s good business. Our leadership in support of projects like WordPress demands a mastery of these platforms like no other team. Our culture attracts leaders that share our values and passions, and see their work as more than a paycheck. Our clients know that part of every dollar they spend goes to the free platforms their businesses depend on.
When you work with us, you’re not just building a website. You help build the Internet.
