Two Cities, Two Launches: A Pair of Sites Built on WordPress.com Enterprise

Some say there’s no greater rivalry than the one between the City by the Bay, San Francisco, and the one-and-only Big Apple, New York City. And considering both cities’ contributions to the industry of tech and big ideas, they’re right!

Recently, both San Francisco and New York City launched initiatives to highlight their technology and startup communities — projects we’re proud to support. While both cities have their own thriving communities, they share one thing: their websites, Where the World Changes and We Are Made in NY, are built on WordPress.com Enterprise.

Both Where the World Changes and We Are Made in NY are powered by WordPress.com Enterprise: a platform offering all of the features of WordPress.com that you love, all of our paid upgrades (such as Custom Design and premium themes), plus the best of our features for WordPress.com VIP sites — including 100+ vetted plugins that help you improve SEO, add social media tools, and manage ads.

Have your posts gone viral? Did your site get picked up by a big media outlet? WordPress.com Enterprise will scale with you as you and your traffic grow over time. For $500/month, you can power your site on a platform that combines the simplicity, flexibility, and security of WordPress.com — and all of the features and unlimited bandwidth enjoyed by WordPress.com sites — with powerful customization options and upgrades.

• Unlimited storage space: Need to upload a lot of media, from photographs to videos? Upload away.

• White-glove support: Need help? You have access to a support team of world-class developers, via email or live chat, whenever you have questions.
