School & Education

One of the best things about WordPress is that it is free, yes there can be hosting costs but overall creating the website itself won’t cost a thing. This is great for schools and education based sites made by teachers and other knowledge lovers.

Private & Family Blogs

There are thousands of blogs out there, and as WordPress specializes in blog themes setting up your new blog will be a breeze. Pick a theme that works for you and use your blog privately locked from the public, or create a family blog to keep in touch with faraway loved ones.
