  • I am a WordPress developer, why should I use Wurdy?
As a WordPress developer, you know the importance of keeping WP sites up to date, secure, backed up and free of junk. Not only do we take care of all the tedious work that you never get paid by your customers to perform, we will pay you a hefty monthly residual commission to refer your customers to Wurdey. Why you may ask? Because we were once WordPress developers too and we learned way to fast that there was no money and lots of time wasted on these services.
