About WebDevStudios
A family-owned WordPress agency with deep roots.
WebDevStudios is a family and veteran-owned WordPress agency founded in 2008 by Brad and April Williams. For 18 years, we've helped organizations build and evolve WordPress platforms that are reliable, scalable, and designed to last.
Brad Williams is a well-known and trusted voice in the WordPress community—an author, speaker, and long-time open-source contributor. April Williams brings decades of experience in operations, governance, and business leadership, ensuring that WebDevStudios is not only technically strong, but operationally sound.
We've grown alongside WordPress itself, adapting as the platform and the web have evolved. That longevity isn't accidental. It comes from caring deeply about our partners and building solutions meant for long-term success—not quick wins.
We don't see ourselves as just another vendor. We work as an extension of your team, helping you make smart decisions and build platforms you won't need to replace in a year or two.
