WordPress Development
WordPress is a fantastic Open Source Web Development Platform.
From your point of view, the key thing to note is that when we develop a site for you in WordPress it is being built by a proper programmer. WordPress is really easy to use for building sites – until you want something a little different!
WordPress was initially forked from (i.e. spun out of) b2/cafelog back in 2003, focusing as a single user
blogging platform – it has since expanded its focus to become a full ‘out of the box’ Content Management Systen (CMS) with many additional features and capabilities.
Frequently it is still used as a blogging platform, but as a framework using it’s custom post types and taxonomies, it can be used for ‘any’ type of website. It also powers very well known high profile websites, such as
- All Things Digital (http://allthingsd.com/)
- WordPress.com (http://wordpress.com/)
- Number10.gov.uk (http://number10.gov.uk/)
We may be located in Shropshire and Birmingham in the West Midlands, but we can provide WordPress Development services throughout the UK.
