Minnesota WordPress Directory is a volunteer-driven effort, providing profiles from the many active professionals in our region who utilize and build projects with the WordPress content management system. The audience for this directory includes businesses and organizations in need of services, as well as those in the WordPress community looking to collaborate.
Listings are by invite only, and are monitored for relevancy. We expect the listing criteria to evolve, and we welcome you to make suggestions and feature requests.
This MNWP Directory is hosted by Lightning Base and our entire team is very appreciative! Their servers are built with SSD based storage and modern Xeon processors, set up with Varnish, a fast web server stack, and locked down from intruders. Then they add a host of bonuses such as free site transfers, backups, and a truly global CDN. Your site will fly and your time will be saved.
Lightning Base is an especially good choice if you are new to WordPress, are running a large site (or want to make sure your smaller site can scale), or are hosting numerous sites for yourself and clients.

Steve Borsch decided there was a need and kickstarted this directory project. Fortunately there are A LOT of smart people in the Minneapolis/St. Paul WordPress User Group who jumped in to co-create this Minnesota WordPress Directory and it exists because of the efforts from the people on this page, our hosting sponsor Lightning Base, and other folks listed here. Enjoy and hope this directory helps you. Go to listing…
