WordPress can be used as a Content Management System for small websites. I am picking up the trend as I read and learn more about this.
Currently I’m working on my first project. This is a good learning opportunity as I get to experiment with options and possibilities available.
There are many plugins available on the internet. However, I am focusing more on the fundamentals. A lot of the things can be achieved with technical skills. Plugins are more for people who are not familiar with web designing.
I try to avoid using that in designing the core because these plugins are written by third parties. Over the years WordPress had evolved with many versions. Some plugins may not work after an upgrade. However, plugins for enhancement are good to have.
