Crowd Favorite

Enterprise open-source agency founded by early WordPress contributor Alex King

Overview

Crowd Favorite was founded in 2007 by Alex King, whom the company describes as one of the original contributors to the first WordPress release, and it calls itself the first digital agency focused on scaling open source and WordPress for enterprise clients.[5] The present company results from a 2013 merger of Crowd Favorite and Velomedia, and it has worked as a fully distributed company since 2013.[5]

Crowd Favorite positions itself as a digital transformation agency combining enterprise digital strategy with open-source development, web engineering, systems integration and heavily customised content management.[5] It now emphasises composable digital-experience platforms built on open source, which it presents as an alternative with a higher return on investment than proprietary platforms such as Adobe Experience Manager, Sitecore and Acquia; that comparison is the agency’s own claim.[5] Its website also refers to European data residency, with work staffed, contracted and delivered in the client’s region.[5] Because the agency works across several open-source platforms rather than WordPress alone, clients seeking a pure WordPress specialist may find narrower firms more focused.
