Hello Developers,
In this issue, we are going WordPress. WordPress is an online, open source website creation tool written in PHP. But in non-geek speak, it's probably the easiest and most powerful blogging and website content management system (or CMS) in existence today. WordPress is highly used by 87% of startups.
With the ease of use, WordPress also has its problems. In Nick Schäferhoff's article "10 Common WordPress Errors and Problems (and their solutions)", should you encounter the issues you would be able to deal with them in a timely fashion.
With most businesses and startups, they would make the choice to go with an inside or outside source freelancer or agency to work on their landing page or website. If you are looking for a WordPress theme and looking to make a purchase, please consider the following:
1) Make sure that it come with a short or long term maintenance agreement.
2) Make sure that the theme comes with instructions for installation and contact information if needed for assistance.
3) Make sure that is content on the theme is responsive to any screen display.
For more information on the selection of the perfect WordPress theme, check out this article from the Editorial staff of WP beginner.
