A Tiny Blessing to the WordPress Developers
May you know that your work builds more than websites.
It builds platforms for voices, ideas, stories, and livelihoods.
May the lines of code you write continue to open doors for people who may never know your name, but benefit from your dedication every day.
And when things don’t work perfectly – as they rarely do – may you remember that creation itself is a generous act.
For the foundation you laid, and for the freedom it gives so many,
thank you.

The Invisible Work of WordPress Developers
It’s easy to forget, when we open a browser and begin typing, how much invisible work makes that simple act possible. Long before a page loads or a post is published, some WordPress developers have already built the ground beneath it.
These magnificent people have done something quietly extraordinary: they’ve created a foundation that doesn’t ask who you are, where you come from, or what resources you have. Through the free, open-source platform at WordPress.org, they’ve made it possible for millions of people – rich and poor, experienced and brand new – to step into the digital world on equal footing.
That matters more than we often say out loud.
Because behind every website is a human story. A small business finding its first customers. A writer sharing ideas for the first time. A community gathering around a shared cause. Many of these voices would never be heard without a platform that removes financial barriers and invites participation instead of gatekeeping.
A Poem for the WordPress Developers Who Build the Foundation
The poem speaks to this generosity. To the understanding that creation isn’t always neat or perfect – and that things break, conflict, and require patience. Anyone who has worked with WordPress knows this firsthand. Yet even in the friction, there is freedom. Freedom to experiment. To learn. To try again.
What WordPress developers offer is not just software, but trust. Trust that people, when given access, will create something meaningful. That they will use these tools to build livelihoods, express ideas, and shape their own small corners of the internet.
So this blessing is not about praise or performance. It’s about recognition.
Thank you for choosing openness.
Thank you for choosing accessibility.
And thank you for building something that belongs to everyone.
P.S. The WordPress and Elementor blessings come from a shared season of challenge, persistence, and learning. Website Chaos Chronicles shares the story behind that journey.
