WordPress Case Study — How a Recruitment Agency Website Grow?

4 min readAug 30, 2021

WordPress is a free, open-source platform that you can use. In 2013, it became a blogging platform.

This CMS is built to make it easy for WordPress developers to build themes, plugins, and software for integration with the CMS.

With its Content Management System (CMS), users can create and manage their blogs and websites. Its system is highly flexible and is useful for a wide range of audiences around the world.

Here, I would like to share a case study of a Recruitment Agency. The client had a static website, due to which they were lacking to attract clients or candidates. So with the help of a leading custom software development company — Galaxy Weblinks Inc., they build a fully functional WordPress Website.

Before getting into more details, let’s first check out why the clients chose WordPress rather than other platforms. Also, here I have mentioned the top reasons why large brands use WordPress.
