    WordPress Origin Story

    I’ve been using WordPress since 2013 when I created my first portfolio website with it. I worked on Ona, which consists of about 20 sub-sites – https://ona.deothemes.com

    Each demo includes a different style but shares some common styles from the parent theme. I developed many websites using WooCommerce, some use classic WooCommerce hooks, and the new ones use WooCommerce blocks.
    My favorite popular plugins are Woo, RankMath, Yoast, Contact Form 7, WPForms, WPML, and ASE.

    I developed about 24 commercial themes and 5 plugins, you can see them here – https://deothemes.com/wordpress-themes
    Also, I contributed many free themes and plugins to wordpress.org – https://profiles.wordpress.org/deothemes/
