WordPress is software that is installed where your website is and can be used to:
- run your entire website, making your site easy to change or update.

WordPress of all websites and is the most-used content management system (CMS) in the world. It makes your site easier to use by automatically updating menus and enforcing a framework for each page so all of the pages in the site look the same.

Plugins
Plugins are mini-applications that work with WordPress to add functionality. Your customer’s needs dictate the kinds of plugins that are required. Here are just a few of the premium plugins I’ve worked with recently:
- EventEspresso – event registration and management
- WP Property Management – manage rental properties
- Google Maps – Add Google Maps with custom links and popups
- Event Calendar – shows upcoming community events
- WooCommerce – a complete eCommerce Solution
We also create custom plugins to solve unique needs:
- A customized button that the client could put on certain pages
- Changing how the admin page list is viewed to make it easier to find a page
- A plugin that outputs nicely-formatted quote blocks
- A “breaking news” plugin.
- A Google Maps plugin that imports GPS coordinates and shows them as lines on a Google map.

- orchids and orchid-growing supplies,
- health and beauty products,
- jewelry,
- home chef services,
- custom gun holsters,
- leather products,
- cooking classes,
- special city tours, and
- court-ordered class sessions.
We’ve also integrated FedEx, USPS, UPS, and custom delivery options as well as worked with several merchant gateways to provide clients with a store that works for them.
Security and Maintenance
Worried about security? WordPress is very secure and is updated against the latest threats on a regular basis. Although some updates can be set to run automatically, it is a good idea to update plugins and WordPress itself manually because you can create a backup and revert if the update fails.
That said, creating a backup and running updates is just a matter of pushing 2-4 buttons and should be done on a weekly basis. Too busy? Have Beyond Paper run updates and perform regular security checks for you! For as little as $8/mo (yearly plan) you can have the peace of mind that your site is up to date!
