wordpress developers

Plugins are packages of code that extend the core functionality of WordPress. WordPress plugins are made up of PHP code and can include other assets such as images, CSS, and JavaScript. By making your own plugin you are extending WordPress, i.e. building additional functionality on top of what WordPress already offers.

A WordPress developer is a professional that specializes in the infrastructure and ecosystem of the WordPress platform. They might focus on improving the WordPress software itself or creating new products, particularly plugins and themes.

Theme developers not only have different production goals, they also have different means to accomplishing those goals. Some developers will simply pick an existing theme, install it, and customize it with the built-in settings and features for their clients' or own personal sites

WordPress is open-source, which means it's free for anyone to use and modify (though hosting, themes and plugins can all cost money). Wix is easier to use but less flexible while WordPress is more flexible but has a steeper learning curve.

WordPress provides an adequate website builder for those looking for a reliable experience that can also provide great customization. Due to its popularity, it provides a very solid infrastructure with great built-in security. It's a platform that is very familiar to a lot of the web developer population.
