Wordpress Web Design
Wordpress has been one of the world’s largest and favorite Content Management Systems for quite some time. Since it is an Open Source project, millions of people from all walks of life were able to create their websites in minutes. From being the famous blogging platform, it has evolved tremendously since then. Despite the fact that it has kept with the fast paced evolution of the World Wide Web, it remained humble maintaining its purpose to be a user friendly and FREE blog system.
Wordpress can do almost anyting you can imagine. Two versions are available; first is hosted through wordpress.com (yourwebsite.wordpress.com) while the second one is downloadable and self-hosted. The only difference between the two is the latter needs your own website hosting space and is more flexisible.
Similar to Joomla, the platform can be extended using plugins available on the Wordpress Plugin Directory. Upon installation, you are rewarded with basic yet clean wordpress design theme. If you are not happy with the one installed, thousands of free designs can be found in the plugin directory.
