What do you love about WordPress:  As someone who’s formal education is in art, and who’s completely self-taught with front-end development, WordPress has been an invaluable tool for my web development projects. Because of WordPress’ flexibility and robust features, I’m able to “bend” WordPress to create very easy to use web solutions for my clients. Then I’m able to train clients of ANY technical level how to take control of their own web presence, which speaks to the quality of WordPress as a platform. And not only that, the WordPress community is the best out there. The wealth of knowledge this community has and readily shares is awe inspiring.
