Case Study: DevMethods achieves enterprise-grade performance, agility, and rapid scaling for clients with WP Engine

Agency Helps Enterprise Clients Transition to WordPress.

DevMethods is a design and development agency that moved from a proprietary CMS to meet growing client demand for WordPress. They needed an enterprise-grade digital experience platform to support complex, high‑volume sites—most notably Cox Media’s college football properties, which require real-time data, heavy editorial output, and millions of monthly visitors with image view counts in the hundreds of millions.

DevMethods partnered with WP Engine to build a tailored solution that supported custom plugins, architected caching, and mobile optimizations like AMP-to-PWA transitions for offline reading and push notifications. The platform delivered strong performance and 24/7 expert support—enabling seamless real-time features, faster PWA experiences, and rapid incident response (a reported 90% performance improvement within an hour during a peak outage), giving DevMethods and its clients the agility and reliability they needed.
