🌱A clear and committed philosophy
Free of charge above all.
Everything offered through WPDistrib is completely free: tools, plugins, resources, documentation.
No entry barriers, no hidden costs. The project goes against traditional commercial models.
A shared foundation for all projects
The plugins included in the Starter Pack were selected to create a versatile foundation, compatible with any type of WordPress site.
Specific guidance (e.g. For WooCommerce) is available separately, depending on your needs.
An ethic of clarity and autonomy
Nothing is designed to lock in, trap, or restrict users.
The goal is simple: to give everyone control over their website and online presence, respecting their trade, resources, and pace.
A professional framework in the making
WPDistrib is also an attempt to build a reference framework around web content production, WordPress, work organization, and knowledge sharing.
👋 Who is behind WPDistrib?
WPDistrib is a project born from the field.
It’s based on a simple fact: creating your website is more than building an online brochure — it’s about structuring your activity, clarifying your ideas, and communicating your craft.
My name is Laurent, and I run the Ateliers Commodore locally in Gourdon (and soon in Sarlat), France. I support freelancers, nonprofits, and creators in building their own WordPress site in small groups, without relying on service providers.
WPDistrib brings together tools I’ve designed and tested in this context:
- Starter: a ready-to-use WordPress with free plugins
- Docs: a documentation hub to support web content creation
- Replicable (coming soon): templates to help structure your professional activity
All of these tools are free, modular, and designed to be accessible to as many people as possible.
They rely exclusively on free and open source solutions.
WPDistrib is not just a digital project.
It’s a way to help people reclaim their profession — online and in real life.

🤝 Support to go further
Several users of WPDistrib Starter have been supported in small groups as part of the Ateliers Commodore.
Of course, a technically confident user can use the Starter Pack and documentation to move forward independently.
But in practice, there are blockers that no documentation alone can solve.
Joining a workshop means benefiting from:
- A booster for autonomy
- A safe space to ask questions, without fear
- Support that goes beyond technical help: structuring your project, clarifying choices, making real progress
Support isn’t essential…
But for many, it made all the difference.

💬 You can help improve this project
WPDistrib Starter and WPDistrib Docs are constantly evolving.
Feedback from workshops is valuable — but feedback from online users is even more so.
If you try the Starter, consult the documentation, or spot a bug, error, or unclear part: don’t hesitate to share your feedback.
I may not be able to reply to everyone,
But every message helps improve the whole project over time.
