Built by Agency Founders,
for Agencies
We ran a digital agency. We lived the pain of scaling WordPress. So in 2017, we started building the platform we wished existed. Today, that's Staq — profitable, growing, and trusted by agencies worldwide.
We fix WordPress Ops for digital agencies
We help agencies, developers and website builders that manage 20 to 700+ WordPress websites with less complexity, fewer tools, and far less firefighting.
Staq replaces the plugin patchwork with one unified platform for hosting, updates, security, staging, caching, white-label tools and many more — so you and your team can spend more time building, and less time troubleshooting broken updates, juggling multiple dashboards or wrestling with clunky workflows.
Instead of stacking tools and plugins on top of hosting, Staq is the stack, designed from the ground up specifically for modern WordPress managers who want control, clarity, and calm.
Most importantly, it gives agencies the freedom to scale without hosting or management ever becoming a bottleneck.
Built on values, not venture capital
Five things that drive how we build, support, and grow — as a platform and as a team.
Approachability
We want to hear from our Staq Partners so we can better understand their needs and how we can help.
Collaboration
We surround ourselves with people who inspire us so we can grow together.
Curiosity
Question everything so we can keep evolving to be better and be more innovative.
Empathy
We try to wear different shoes so we can gain different perspectives and keep learning.
Have Fun
Life shouldn't be serious. Have fun and make a difference.
From agency frustration to platform
Running an agency taught us one thing: managing WordPress at scale is messy. Hosting, updates, security, caching — every piece felt disconnected. We wasted time fixing what should've been automated.
So we built Staq — a platform that makes running WordPress simple, scalable, and stress-free. No investors. No shortcuts. Just a product shaped by agency life and agency needs.
Why We Built WP Staq
We started as agency owners frustrated with a messy WordPress tech stack. Servers, tools, plugins and subscriptions felt disjointed; they never "spoke" with each other. This created inefficient workflows and you had to butcher things to make things work or at least try to automate things.
Instead of waiting for someone else to solve it, we built Staq. Our mission: give agencies the tools we wish we had — so you can focus on clients, not infrastructure.

Nizar is our CTO who is based in Spain. Emmanuel is our CEO and head of growth and he's based in Australia. The two founders manage both physical and virtual teams scattered across the globe.
We're not VC-funded. We're 100% bootstrapped, profitable, and growing sustainably with our agency and enterprise partners. That means no outside pressure, no forced pivots — just a relentless focus on building the best platform for agencies that use WordPress.

One platform that replaces the stack
Staq handles every layer of WordPress operations so your team can focus on client work, not infrastructure babysitting.
We repurpose talent, not replace them
Our platform standardises agency operations for managing and hosting WordPress. When the tech works, the team works. We free up your people to do higher-value work — not fight fires, not babysit plugins.
We stand against tech bloat and team bloat
Too many tools, too many plugins, too many dashboards, too many subscriptions. These are the things that kill cash flow in small business. Staq eliminates the tech bloat so your team can perform.
We perfect features before we push to market
We don't push anything live before we perfect it. Speed will kill us. This is a quality commitment — we would rather have a working, reliable product than promise the world and deliver half of it.
