The scope of WordPress website development includes creating a fully functional website using the WordPress content management system (CMS). This can involve customizing an existing WordPress theme or developing a custom theme from scratch, as well as implementing custom functionality through the use of plugins or custom code. The development process typically includes setting up the WordPress installation, configuring the theme and plugins, designing and developing the site's pages and content, implementing user management and security measures, optimizing the site for search engines and site speed, and testing the site to ensure it is functioning correctly. The scope may also include ongoing maintenance and updates to ensure the site remains secure and up-to-date with the latest technologies and best practices.
