Hetzner has been a proud sponsor of WordCamp for a few years, but we can’t talk about this event without talking about the WordPress community. For us, WordPress, the monthly Meet-Ups and WordCamp are extensions of each other － and extensions of the vibrant South African WordPress community. WordPress is the go-to platform for website design and development in South Africa, and a relationship between Hetzner and WordPress is a natural fit.
Here are the top FIVE reasons we love supporting the WordPress community:
- Hetzner hosts more than 45 000 WordPress websites currently.
- We love being able to meet our customers face-to-face at the annual WordCamp. We also love listening － and learning －as they talk, engage and debate about all things WordPress and the changing landscape of website design and development.
- WordPress affords everyone the opportunity to give functionality, style and navigation to their dreams. It offers entrepreneurs a space to showcase their enterprises; and inspires creative expression for budding and seasoned designers and developers. These are all qualities that resonate with us here at Hetzner.
- We are proudly South African and love that WooCommerce is the leading shopping cart plugin for WordPress.
- Our fifth (unofficial) reason is that WordCamp affords members of our team the opportunity to head out of the office for two days, and into a creative, stimulating space where we are surrounded by similarly-minded people.
We understand that people pour their passions, vision, creativity and business goals into their websites. We offer a safe, secure space where a dream today is often a successful venture tomorrow. People, not technology, are at the centre of our business. Our solutions are designed around the needs of our customers – we believe that WordPress shares that vision.
