9seeds

9seeds

At 9seeds, we love WordCamps! It was at the first WordCamp Las Vegas in January 2009 that the founders of 9seeds met and became fast friends. 8 months later they decided to join forces and start 9seeds, a full-service WordPress development company still going strong 8 years later!

A typical client for us has generally been businesses that need a website with some added custom functionality not just satisfied by a theme and a couple plugins. We have always enjoyed the process of taking a client’s specific needs and providing an exact solution to it at an affordable budget point. Developers at heart we really enjoy building everything from custom themes to custom plugins, to just bending existing code to fit their specific needs. Now we even sell and support a full catalog of WordPress themes check them out!

When not banging away at a keyboard, our team still spends a crazy amount of time sharing their knowledge of WordPress by organizing and speaking at WordCamp’s all over the country (Maui, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, Orange County and more have all had our finger prints on them at some point), plus the local WordPress meetups in Maui, Orange County and Las Vegas.

When you see our team at WordCamp or Meetup, please swing by and say hello. We’d love to chat with you!
