Built to empower the WordPress community.
An open pay-to-rank board designed to bring radical transparency to product discovery and reinvest proceeds back into WordPress education.
01. Reinvesting in WordPress Education & Builders
WP Spots is not just a commercial board—our foundational goal is to channel a portion of all spot fees directly back into the WordPress ecosystem. We believe in supporting aspiring developers, students, and indie creators who need educational resources to build the future of WordPress.
As spot fees accumulate, we will allocate a dedicated percentage to fund course sponsorships, developer tooling, WordCamp tickets, and educational materials for WordPress learners.

Are you learning WordPress, building your first plugin, or in need of educational resources and course assistance? Fill out this form to be considered for upcoming community support allocations.
02. Why Visibility Belongs in the Open
The official WordPress directory ranks products using opaque, unstated factors. A solo developer or startup building a faster form builder, a cleaner backup tool, or an AI block today has virtually no path to organic discovery against legacy incumbents with millions of installs accumulated over a decade.
Legacy plugins get the clicks because they have the rank. They have the rank because they get the clicks. New makers cannot break the loop no matter how superior their product is.
03. Giving Deserving Makers the Spotlight
WP Spots solves discovery by turning position into an open, honest canvas:
