  20. [1.Fade In and discuss]\n\n1. easy, nothing to be scared about -managing the website is straightforward once you get the hang of it. Sure, some of the set up can be a bit technical, and customizing/styling as well, but overall day-to-day use of Wordpress is quite easy.\n\n2. Wordpress out of the box is just the base. It’s the adding of ‘stuff’ that make is so powerful, and allows you to make it your own.\n \n
