Dragify, web hosting, and themes for cheap
America may run on Dunkin, but the internet runs on WordPress.
Launched in 2003, the free, open-source content management system boasts vast plugin options, a massive collection of themes, convenient support resources, and remarkable ease of use. It’s currently powering almost 33% of all websites out there, according to the web tech survey firm W3Techs. The roster of those using WordPress includes the sites of Sony Music, The New York Times, Sweden — as in, the country — and none other than Beyoncé.
And hey — if it’s good enough for Queen Bey, it’s surely good enough for you, right?
