Unrelated

Unrelated is a WordPress studio that designs and builds websites and tools for organizations doing public-interest work, including nonprofits, media outlets and advocacy groups. Its homepage describes the work as adaptable platforms for organizations doing serious work, combining WordPress development with editorial storytelling and AI.

The studio maintains Amplify, a modular WordPress foundation that it reuses across projects. Amplify avoids pre-made templates and rigid themes, and the studio says it is refined with each client launch. Unrelated also hosts free 30-minute Lunch and Learn webinars about managing WordPress sites, and publishes news and updates on its own site.
