In my last blog titled “Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? Paid vs. Free WordPress Plugins” I compared free WordPress plugins to paid WordPress plugins. But there is a way to have your cake and eat it too!
WordPress is a free and open source platform. And there are thousands of free plugins available to extend and enhance its functionality. So with so many free plugins available, why would you ever pay for a paid plugin?
With over 45,000 WordPress plugins in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory, which ones are the best?
Many people who are seeking to create a website ask me what I recommend. Almost always, my recommendation is WordPress. WordPress started out as an open source blog software in 2003, however it has matured into a complete content management system. What’s a content management system? Quite simply, if the pages on your website are the content, it’s a system that allows you to easily manage, edit, create and delete pages.
