Website and technology
WordPress is the world's most used content management system, with a huge supply of themes and plugins and a large community.
Its strength is flexibility: there's a solution for nearly every requirement and you aren't locked to one vendor. Its weakness is that the same freedom produces messy sites when nobody keeps control.
Budget for ongoing maintenance: core, theme and plugin updates, backups and security. A neglected WordPress site is among the most frequently hacked things online.
