WordPress is a free open-source web platform that makes it easy to create and maintain a website - an attractive alternative to expensive proprietary content management systems (CMS) on the market. It was first released in May 2003 and grew to be one of the most popular CMS in the world, powering 39.5% of all websites in 2021. WooCommerce, an ecommerce plugin for WordPress, is also the most widely used technology for webshops, according to latest Builtwith statistics. Why choose WordPress? It is very easy to expand and customize WordPress. Because of its fully open source structure, you’re free to modify and customize your website with fewer limits than in proprietary systems. It also offers scalability and flexibility — you can easily export or migrate your data to another system should you want to. WordPress is available in 72 languages and counting, and has one of the most active user and developer communities with many online forums where you can get help with using the CMS, programming, making adjustments, and many other things.

With WordPress, you can create: Websites Blogs Ecommerce sites (with a plugin like WooCommerce) Its open source nature, along with the feature-rich standard installation that it comes with and the many plugins available in the market for extending its functionalities, make WordPress highly versatile and fit for almost any website or webshop setup. WordPress themes Themes determine the look and feel of your site, and usually allow you to change the pages’ layout - to a degree - without altering site code or content. There are many available themes in online marketplaces that cater to different website types or industries. Many WordPress users opt to purchase these pre-designed themes and customize it slightly by adapting the colors and other elements to their branding. If you want a completely custom design, you can also collaborate with our web designers to create a theme from scratch that’s specifically fit to your own requirements. However, this option can be a lot more expensive than purchasing a theme. Read more about the difference between using themes and doing custom design.

We have continuously developed and changed both the graphics and functionality of our websites, and we've been really pleased with the collaboration all the way through. The time difference has never been a problem; if we send a task in the morning or noon, we see that small graphic tasks have been solved and we have the result already on the same day―very convincing and very fast. Other times we send a task in the afternoon, and the result is ready in the morning the day after. They have also helped refine our requirements, and we're delighted that we had such discussions, as these have certainly led to better results in the end. We are in continuous collaboration with 1902, although at present there is not much to do, but we still send tasks once in a while, and we remain very pleased with the results and the quick delivery."

It has been our experience that 1902 are professional and pleasant to cooperate with. Our project manager, Ryan, has been a rock steady, reliable and sympathetic point of contact during the project. In conclusion we are very satisfied, and we definitely recommend 1902. 1902 do have lower hour rates than our local alternatives, even if a small proportion of this benefit should be expected to be lost due to the challenges of communicating across time zones and different languages and without personal meetings. Never the less the communications and cooperation across time zones has worked remarkably well, which is partly because 1902 staff very often work during evenings hours, matching our time zone better. Also online meetings with screen sharing work very well with 1902. We appreciate that 1902/Ryan has been flexible about communicating via different platforms, instead of only the 1902-CRM-system. During the project the communication has become increasingly easy and fluent, and my experience is that the initial phase of the project, with a proportion of less well-defined tasks, should be handled carefully from the client (our) side. Clearly defined projects and tasks are easier to cooperate on under the circumstances where communication is challenged by distance and language. The only downside I, as the project manager on our side, would like to mention to 1902, is that the CRM-system has been somewhat confusing to use and to get to know. Perhaps the CRM-system is better for large scale projects, but for small web-projects like ours’, it seems that there are too many modes/channels for communicating and too many e-mail notifications (even if that can probably be managed in some preference settings). This complexity is perhaps the reason that I have found it somewhat difficult to keep track of the hours and money spent on individual part of the project. In spite of this we look very much forward to continue working with 1902 and Ryan."

They bring an enormous amount of talent and value to any company, especially if you have had the pleasure of working with a certain Ryan (he knows who he is :))" Read moreShow less James Bason Finixio https://finixio.com/ "We have worked with 1902 for approx. 10 months on our new website dispuk.dk, and I would highly recommend them. I have had Ryan as the technical project manager throughout the process and it has been a pleasure. We had a reasonably clear requirements specification, but in the process you often find that new requirements and wishes arise. Ryan and his staff have been tremendously good at getting this done very quickly. I was a little skeptical at first about the time difference and my English has not always been the best. But it has gone very painlessly. If there has been any doubt, we have held online meetings and shown each other's screens, thus creating understanding. I can highly recommend 1902 to others, and I look forward to expanding new and smart features for our website in collaboration with Ryan."
