We have some exciting news to share: NerdPress is now a Certified B Corporation™! 🎉
Becoming a B Corp is more than a shiny badge or a humblebrag. This achievement reflects our deep commitment to using our business as a force for good—for our clients, our team, our community, and the planet.
It’s an extension of what we’ve always believed: supporting people is just as important as supporting websites. And now it’s official—we’re being held to the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility, transparency, and accountability.
If you’re wondering what all this actually means (and why we’re so excited about it), read on.
So… what is a B Corp, anyway?
Certified B Corporations are companies that meet verified standards for how they treat people and the planet—not just how much profit they make. The certification is granted by B Lab™, a nonprofit that digs deep into how a business operates: How are employees supported? Are clients treated with fairness and transparency? What’s the company doing for its community?
B Lab evaluates companies through a rigorous assessment across five key categories: Governance, Workers, Community, Environment, and Customers.
Only companies that score at least 80 points out of 200 across these categories—and provide documentation to back it all up—earn the right to call themselves Certified B Corps.

Why did we decide to become a B Corp?
Honestly? This wasn’t a marketing decision. It was a values decision.
At NerdPress, we’ve always tried to do things the right way—even when it’s not the easy way. Our mission is to help people do what they love so they can lead richer, more fulfilling lives. That mission applies not just to our clients and their websites, but to our team, our partners, and the greater WordPress ecosystem.
Our core values—Always Be Helpful, Take Good Care, Be Proactive, and Teach & Empower—aren’t there just to look good on our website. They’re our guiding principles, and we use them to help us with every decision and interaction. And now, they’re officially recognized as part of our B Corp journey.
“We’re here to support people, not just websites, and this certification reflects our dedication to making a positive impact on people’s lives.” — Andrew Wilder, NerdPress Founder and CEO
We’re a small-but-mighty team taking care of your websites. But behind every one of those websites is a real person (that’s you!). And behind every support ticket is one of our real humans (that’s us!).
Becoming a B Corp helps make sure that both sides of that equation are treated with care, respect, and intention.
For our clients, it means we’re building a business that centers on trust, consistency, and proactive support.
For our team, it means we’re committed to fair pay, flexibility, and a healthy, human-first work environment.
For our community, it means giving back, being a good digital neighbor, and working toward a better internet for everyone.
What changes for you?
Not much.
Your site is still in great hands. Our team is still just an email away. We’re still doing all the things we’ve always done—only now, we’re doing it with a globally recognized seal that says, “Yes, these folks are walking the walk.”
What this certification does is hold us accountable to Keep Improving (our fifth Core Value!). To keep showing up. And to keep making decisions that benefit more than just our bottom line.
Moving forward, we plan to:
- Expand our sustainability initiatives and tracking.
- Deepen our community involvement through nonprofit partnerships and impactful donations.
- Share what we’ve learned to help others in the WordPress and tech communities consider B Corp certification, too.
Thank you!
If you’ve chosen to work with NerdPress, chances are you care about building something meaningful. We see your work as an extension of you, and we’re honored to help protect it.
Becoming a B Corp is one more way we’re saying: “We’re in this with you.”
Thanks for trusting us with your site. We’ll keep earning that trust every day—and now, we have a shiny new badge to prove it!
