WordPress Services Support & Maintenance

WordPress is a super powerful blog and content management system which is open source and written in PHP code. Although it’s a great platform to use for your website needs, it can be a complete headache to get right – this is because there are so many plugin options, updates and security issues. 

WordPress was designed with usability and flexibility in mind and is an excellent solution for businesses of all sizes. Many designs can be achieved by installing your preferred theme, which is a premade site template/design. Professional WordPress designers know the ins and outs of perfecting site designs and often only use a set theme and edit from there until the customer gets the desired look for their website. 

WordPress powers both the front end of your website, which is the side your audience sees and the backend of the website, which is what you and your developers see. There are plugin’s these days that can be installed so users and developers can design in a frontend environment which makes the design and development of a site much easier for some. 

Almost all websites you can think of can be designed using WordPress including e-commerce sites, blogs, business sites, booking sites, marketplaces like eBay, membership and subscription sites, news outlets, portfolios, review sites, forums, events, services, education and e-learning, gaming and more. It is possible for any type of need to be hosted on WordPress thanks to developers who have made millions of plugins that can be utilised by WordPress site owners for their own companies and organisations. From the woo-commerce plugin which makes e-commerce a breeze to Yoast, which can help you with your SEO – WordPress has everything – ready-made – for anyone to use! Big corporations like Playstation and The New York Times use WordPress as their platform but your local plumber probably does too.
