A “CMS” or Content Management System, is the tool used to build and manage your website. I use WordPress, the website publishing platform of choice.

  • WordPress powers 43.6 % of all websites on the internet. That translates to over 810 million sites!
  • WordPress runs everything from simple blogs to high‑traffic news portals and large e‑commerce stores.
  • The core software is open-source and free, so you can install, modify, and host it without licensing fees.
  • Most freelance designers, agencies, and in‑house developers have hands‑on experience WordPress. That makes outsourcing projects in the future quick and inexpensive.

Yes. There’s no charge for the audit itself. I’ll assess technical issues, user experience, site speed, responsiveness, and design. You’ll receive a clear, actionable report with recommendations on how to enhance performance and usability.
