WordPress is a community-driven project that\u2019s developed by and for people like you. Many thousands of people from around the world contribute to the project, and many millions of websites<\/a> are powered by it \u2014 28.6% of the web, in all. From large company websites to personal blogs, and everything in between, everyone can publish with WordPress.<\/p>\n

There are two ways to get started with WordPress.<\/strong> You can host a WordPress installation on your own server, or you can host your site here at OPTe.io<\/a> and let us handle the technical bits.<\/p>\n

Hosting your own WordPress site<\/strong> can be fun and rewarding, but it also requires some technical knowledge and places more responsibility on you, the publisher. You can download the WordPress software for free at http:\/\/wordpress.org<\/a>, but it must be installed on a web server before it will work. You will need to research and install your own\u00a0themes<\/a> plugins<\/a>. Many hosting providers offer a one-click installation of WordPress \u2014 here are a few examples<\/a>. There are also many web development agencies that specialize in building WordPress sites.<\/p>\n

OPTe.io is different.<\/strong> Here at OPTe.io, you don\u2019t have to download software, pay for hosting, or manage a web server. You can instead focus on creating wonderful content, and let us handle the rest!<\/p>\n

OPTe.io is a great choice for designers, small businesses, eCommerce, do-it-yourself, web professionals \u2014 almost anyone.<\/strong> However, techies that prefer to develop their own theme, should consider hosting their own WordPress installation. We provide a large number of themes and built-in plugin functionality so you won\u2019t need to upload your own.<\/p>\n

OPTe.io is a commercial enterprise owned by<\/strong> OPTe<\/a>, a company started by awesome people and staffed by full-time developers, designers, and support engineers. We regularly contribute back to the WordPress system so that the entire community can benefit.<\/p>\n
