The Corvallis Advocate

We’ve been providing managed WordPress hosting, maintenance, and ongoing development services for The Corvallis Advocate for several years. When the Advocate came to us, they were experiencing reliability and performance issues — the kind of problems that are especially costly for a daily news outlet where readers expect the site to be up, fast, and current at all times. We stabilized the infrastructure, moved the site to managed WordPress hosting tuned for high-volume publishing (thousands of archived articles, multiple daily posts, subscriber authentication, advertising integrations), and took over ongoing WordPress core, theme, and plugin updates, security hardening, daily backups, performance optimization, and direct support. The arrangement means the Advocate’s editorial team — led by Steve Shultz — can focus entirely on reporting and publishing without thinking about the infrastructure underneath. When issues arise, we handle them. When development work is needed (new features, integrations, subscriber workflow improvements), we scope and deliver it. The site just works, which is exactly what a busy newsroom needs.
