Overview

Why WordPress?

A Content Management System (CMS) that makes managing your site easy.

WordPress is an open source content management system that has evolved into one of the most popular website publishing systems in the world. 34% of websites on the Internet utilize WordPress and it has one of the largest developer community. This means that several tools and plugins have already been developed

that easily integrate into your company website. We believe that an open source CMS like WordPress is a better option than a proprietary CMS. An open source CMS means that you do not need to rely on one agency or freelancer for website updates. WordPress allows your firm to operate unencumbered.
