Alley & WordPress

Since we began working with WordPress in 2010, our achievements have included:

• A ground-breaking replatforming of KFF that melded 5 sites and aggregated thousands of articles and data sets. The achievement proved that WordPress could power the publishing endeavors of the most widely known and well respected think tanks.

• Leading one of the largest content migrations in the history of WordPress, migrating over a million pieces of legacy content and archives — including images — to the WordPress VIP platform for the New York Post.
• Pioneering decoupled architecture on WordPress, including developing our own decoupled framework for use with WordPress when there were no off-the-shelf solutions available. Due to our experience with decoupled WordPress, we were asked by WordPress VIP to become early adopters of their decoupled framework and to help them improve it through testing and use.

“Alley brought a level of rigor and thoughtfulness to our products and our process that was desperately needed. The team took a mess of hopes and frustrations and turned it into an actionable plan, then executed on that plan.”

— James Tyner, senior product manager at The San Francisco Standard
