Did you know that over 40% of all of the websites in the world are built using WordPress? That’s because WordPress is the most powerful and flexible content management system out there, used for everything from membership systems to huge eCommerce stores and is completely FREE!
People are often put off learning WordPress vs. some other options (Wix etc.) due to it’s complexity but there are ‘off the shelf’ templates for almost every conceivable project, making it very easy to get up-to-speed quickly, while retaining the scope to fully customise every aspect for those who want to dive a bit deeper.
