WordPress Origin Story

I was initially impressed with how clean and modern WordPress looked compared to other CMS systems out there. I heard of developers using it for simple sites and I didn’t really intend to use WordPress for the big jobs, but now it’s developed so quickly that I use it for everything. With Advanced Custom Fields WordPress is so flexible, easy for clients to use and quick to setup it’s a real no brainer.
