Wordpress Website



What is a WordPress Website? A WordPress website is any website that uses WordPress as its content management system (CMS). WordPress powers both the backend of the website (the interface where a user logs in to make changes or add new content) and the frontend (the visible part of the website that your visitors see on the web). Here are just a few examples of the types of websites you can. The visual appearance of your WordPress site is controlled by a WordPress theme. WordPress themes are professionally designed templates that you can install on your website to change its appearance. By default, each WordPress site comes with a basic theme. If you visit your website, then it will look something like this.

There are several ways to get WordPress. The easiest is through a hosting provider, but sometimes tech-savvy folks prefer to download and install it themselves.

Either way, you can use your WordPress through a web browser and with our mobile apps.
