Bring Your Idea to Life: Explore Several Possibilities with WordPress
Details
WordPress can do so much more than 'just blogging'. Unfortunately, WordPress often has a hard time shaking the “just for bloggers” stigma it became known for several years ago.
WordPress began as simple blogging software and gained popularity for “online journals” and bloggers. Many people, especially business owners didn’t take it seriously.
But then it began to grow. Entrepreneurs realized they could easily launch a new website and edit the content, add images, and maintain the site themselves – something they had never been able to do before.
With the help of thousands of WordPress themes, plugins, and extensions, users of all skill levels can build in all the functions they need to create online stores, portfolios, membership sites, professional pages, and more. Versatile, flexible, and endlessly customizable, WordPress isn’t just for blogging anymore.
As WordPress grew, so did the features and content management system capabilities. Soon business owners began turning to WordPress as their first choice for software to power their websites.
WordPress now powers more than 40% of all websites on the world wide web ( See https://www.wcuganda.org/wordpress-now-powers-over-40-of-the-world-wide-web/)
You can bring your idea to life easily with WordPress. If you can imagine it, it can be done with WordPress. Existing WordPress themes and plugins can be altered and changed in almost any way you want. You can also start from scratch with a custom theme and custom plugins - so there are no design limitations! WordPress doesn't limit the possibilities of design and code. If anything, it adds to the possibilities.
You can design, create, and build any type of site you want with WordPress – it all boils down to how much you want to invest in your website.
You can draw inspiration from the WordPress Showcase at https://wordpress.org/showcase/ which is aimed at showing the world what can be done with WordPress and help demonstrate that WordPress has tremendous capabilities as a publishing platform.
