Your Must-Have WordPress Plugins
WordPress is the most powerful platform used by more than 60 millions people. It gives you everything you need… whether it’s a website, online store, portfolio or blog – Beautiful designs, powerful features, and the freedom to build anything you want.
IMPORTANT! Don’t add too many plugins because they will slow down your website or break it! Be careful and keep it simple and clean!
Bear in mind that WordPress has updates every two weeks so you will have to update your plugins as well. Here are the widely used and most secure plugins we recommend:
The most convinient website builder that we recommend to you is Elementor. Create stunning landing pages, design a blog, customize your online store.
Sometimes Elementor requires you to disable Gutenberg Editor and actually, we think the Classic Editor is a better option. /Only if you don’t like new Gutenberg Editor/
Add more flexibility to your website! Fields can be added all over WP including posts, users, taxonomy terms, media, comments and even custom options pages!
Comprehensive collection of various visual and functional elements, which you can use in the post editor, text widgets or even in template files
