Cont………

Themes :

available.

Quality Plugins :

You can’t add functionality to your WordPress site very quickly, in that case plugin comes very

handy . WordPress provide many quality plugins which makes your task easy & quick. Best of all,

you can get free plugins to do most things perfectly well. Most plugins are downloaded, installed

and configured in a no time. WordPress emphasis on ease-of-use seems to have rubbed off on the

plug-in writers!

Focus :

Drupal and Joomla are design as complete CMS whereas WordPress was designed to solve

problems. This is because WordPress has a clear target audience (bloggers).
