Get the most from your WordPress Website

WordPress

WordPress has been the primary website CMS since 2008.

At the time WordPress 2.7 was considered to be "just for blogs" but it was clearly a very good option for building regular business websites, with particular configuration options that turned it from primarily blogging to handling pages in a hierarchy. Right from the start clients wanted custom functionality and with years of experience in PHP Ben (our founder) began customising websites and learning what is called "the WordPress way". This WordPress Way means that websites can be customised and the code added doesn't prevent the core, and other plugins from being upgraded and improved over time. It is also referred to as being "pluggable", a feature that distinguishes a novice from an expert in terms of WordPress coding.
