WordPress is a very diverse, easy to use platform for website design. However, it needs to conform to what you need for your business or personal website. So how does one website platform conform itself to millions of different websites?
The answer lies in plugins. What is a plugin? A plugin is a small module of code, like an app on your phone. While not usually separate, running programs, apps have specific functions that allow your website to do things that the base WordPress doesn’t support. Things like increased traffic monitoring, better permissions for comments, more security features, or even picture management.
Plugins come in many different shapes and sizes. You might look at the WordPress website listing of all their offered plugins and just scratch your head. There are thousands of options! You can’t possibly install them all, so how do you choose what to get? The answer is surprisingly simple: figure out what you want from your website and find a plugin that does it, or part of it, if WordPress can’t on its own. Look in the listings and find high reviews, read comments and find the best choice for you. If the task seems too daunting, the team at Cal Coast Web Design would be more than happy to help you.
