All-in-one platforms are all the rage today. They give virtually anyone the power to build their own website without having to worry about which host to choose, which theme / template to use, which third-party applications to implement and more. We’ve seen variations of this in the WordPress community, particular with SaaS companies.

Two of the biggest examples are WPMU DEV and Elegant Themes. Both of these WordPress companies offer their products in strict all-in-one subscription models. You cannot purchase a single WordPress theme or plugin. They contribute to that all-in-one model by offering a wide range of WordPress themes for different niches and plugins that fulfill nearly every function a website needs.

A newer company is looking to dominate this model by offering a unique suite of products and services not seen before in the WordPress community. Their name is 10Web, and we’re going to be examining what they have to offer in this post. Let’s get started.

About 10Web

10Web is a newer service hoping to become the first all-in-one platform for WordPress with a service structure that’s much closer to platforms like Squarespace than anything else. It was created by the team over at Web-Dorado, the folks behind such plugins as Google Analytics WD, Photo Gallery by WD, Form Maker by WD and Event Calendar WD.

10Web can be classified as one of those all-in-one SaaS companies we mentioned before, but it’s hoping to become much more than that. We’ll talk about their plans for the future in a bit. For now, let’s focus on the current collection of WordPress products and services they offer.

Overview

  • 6 WordPress themes – 10Web has brought over the six premium WordPress themes available from Web-Dorado. This gives you access to a variety of different options in terms of style and niche.

That last feature is an important one. It’s what makes this service so easy to use, and it’s what powers its all-in-one format. You’ll use it to manage your website(s) through a dashboard. You can either use the 10Web dashboard by logging into your account at my.10Web.io or use the one on the backend of WordPress. We’ll get into how it works in a second. For now, let’s go over the specific products that are currently available at 10Web.

10Web’s WordPress themes & plugins

10Web offers six themes and over 60 plugins and add-ons, as mentioned before. Let’s take a look at a few of them so you can gain a better understanding of the type of service this company offers.

Some of the plugins 10Web offers are classified as “services” due to the level of sophistication involved in their functionalities. We’re going to talk about the services available at the moment:

We’ll talk about the services this company plans to implement in the future a little later.

Backups

10Web Backups

10Web offers a fairly sophisticated backup service. You can backup your database, file system, WordPress themes and plugins. They’re stored in a cloud storage solution of your choosing, which includes such options as Google Drive, Rackspace, Dropbox and Amazon S3.

Backups can be scheduled on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, and you can choose to only backup changes to save on space and page speed. Lastly, you can restore your site from one of these backups with the simple click of a button.

SEO

The 10Web SEO service isn’t available natively through the manager as the other plugins are. Instead, you’ll need to install it by searching for SEO by 10Web in WordPress. After that, you can connect your Google Search Console account to start tracking SEO errors, 404 errors and more. Unfortunately, you’ll need to connect your Moz account to gain access to complex search data, which will cost you a minimum of $99 / month once you burn through the trial.

Other features include the ability to change meta titles and descriptions, generate an XML sitemap, and implement canonical URLs and redirects. A major drawback to this plugin is its lack of a content analysis feature, so you’re better off sticking with Yoast SEO or other sophisticated SEO plugins if you need keyword density and readability data.

Image optimization

The image optimization service can be enabled directly through the 10Web manager. You can optimize individual images or optimize in bulk. When you optimize in bulk, you have the option of choosing between three compression options. Unfortunately, the service falls behind image optimization tools like WP Smush and TinyPNG. I tested the free versions of all three services with a single PNG image. The original size was 824.78 KB. These are the results:

  • Image Optimizer
    • Full Size: 261.04 KB
    • Large: 144.87 KB
    • Medium: 19.24 KB
  • WP Smush
    • Full Size: N/A in free version
    • Large: 138.7 KB
    • Medium: 13.5 KB
  • TinyPNG
    • Full Size: 229.6 KB

You can even deactivate these products, update them or delete them from your site entirely. You can also manage backups and image optimization as previously shown. Let’s wrap this post up.

Pricing & support

10Web Pricing

Note: These prices are current as of March 2018.

10Web offers three plans in monthly and annual formats. Each plan offers the same set of features with a few differences here and there. It mainly has to do with the number of websites you’re allowed to manage, the amount of storage you’re allowed for backups and the number of images you can optimize per month.

  • Basic
    • 3 Domains
    • 10GB of storage for backups
    • Optimize 20,000 images / month
    • $12 / month or $120 / year
  • Standard
    • 10 Domains
    • 40GB of storage for backups
    • Optimize 80,000 images / month
    • $30 / month or $300 / year
  • Premium
    • 50 Domains
    • 140GB of storage for backups
    • Optimize 250,000 images / month
    • $80 / month or $780 / year

The plans advertise “premium support”, but I’m afraid the only form of support this company offers is through email Monday through Saturday with a response time within 24 hours.

10Web’s roadmap

If you scroll through 10Web’s website, you’ll see a lot of “Coming Soon” labels. This is due to the number of products and services the company is planning to add to the platform. They include:

  • Hosting
  • Security
  • Uptime monitoring

You can use / view demos of 10Web’s products on its website, or sign up for a 14-day free trial today.
