In the fast-evolving world of media and publishing, staying ahead demands more than innovative technology—it requires collaboration, expertise, and a shared vision. As we enter 2025, the need for scalable solutions and seamless workflows is more critical than ever.
At WordPress VIP, we’re proud to partner with exceptional agencies like Big Bite, XWP, and Multidots, who share our commitment to empowering publishers to meet the challenges of the new year and beyond.
Three transformative projects with The Times, Vox.com, and Ask Media showcase the power of our partner ecosystem to help media brands thrive in the year ahead.
Building a modern legacy: Big Bite x The Times
Transforming a print-first organization into a digital publishing leader is no small feat. For Big Bite and The Times, success meant integrating modern workflows into an enterprise-grade CMS that met the demands of a rapidly changing media landscape.
Through close collaboration and extensive research, the team delivered a solution that modernized operations and set a new industry benchmark. The result? A digital platform capable of serving millions of readers seamlessly—proving that innovation thrives when expertise meets purpose.
From complexity to clarity: XWP x Vox.com
Replatforming a high-profile site like Vox.com isn’t just a technical challenge—it’s a test of collaboration and trust.
XWP partnered with Vox Media and WordPress VIP to deliver a decoupled architecture that balanced frontend creativity with backend efficiency. By embracing experimentation and fostering transparent communication, the team turned a daunting task into a career-defining project for many involved.
This collaboration is a testament to the value of shared expertise in tackling even the most complex publishing challenges.
