Show Notes
Today's guest is Blake Whittle, owner and founder of Backline — a white-label WordPress design, development, and hosting company that manages around 300 websites for agencies and their clients — and the owner of Infinite Uploads, the plugin that offloads your WordPress media library to the cloud so your site stays fast without expensive hosting upgrades.
Blake's journey with WordPress started back in 2014 when he was still in high school, and he's been building his business ever since — including acquiring Infinite Uploads in 2024, a plugin that now serves a growing community of over 120,000 active installs.
In this episode, we talk about what it really takes to run a white-label WordPress business, how offloading media to the cloud can save you from unnecessary hosting upgrades, and the future of WordPress media management.
