WordPress has numerous add-ons for specialised functionality and can be completely customised to suit individual needs and requirements. With all of the elements to create a site, the WordPress plugin directory provides access to a number of prebuilt functionality such as shopping carts, galleries, contact forms and more. However, not all add-ons are created equal and it’s important to know which are secure and effective, and which are not. We only recommend a third-party tool if we know it is robust and well-maintained.
