Case Study: Fat Beehive achieves predictable hosting and faster site management with WP Engine

Fat Beehive cuts plugin maintenance by 94% with WP Engine

Fat Beehive, a UK-based B Corp agency specializing in websites for charities, faced unpredictable hosting costs and poor support for its 80+ WordPress sites on Platform.sh. The agency needed a solution that would provide pricing stability, eliminate frequent downtime, and offer expert WordPress support to better serve its not-for-profit clients.

By migrating to WP Engine's managed WordPress hosting, Fat Beehive gained a technical partner. WP Engine implemented a custom deployment pipeline and provided tools like Smart Plugin Manager, which automated updates and slashed maintenance time by 94%. The solution eliminated downtime and provided predictable costs, enabling the agency to confidently pitch new clients and upsell additional services based on the robust platform WP Engine provides.
