millions of websites. Wordpress is very user friendly, simply put, it makes

wordpress development company​,
Highlighted in this article are some
of the pro’s and con’s of using
WordPress.

is extremely simple to organize content without having a background in
website management. It's easy to navigate through content and the pages
on a WordPress site.

mostly free and paid plugins that are available to users. These plugins help

vulnerable and easy to hack into. Someone was able to hack into our
website that we built on Wordpress using our website.wp-admin and logged
