Wordpress.com VS Wordpress.org


Wordpress.org

The main difference is that in wordpress.org, it is a person who is making the site with their ability to change what they want, they download the software and they create their own web server. This requires a hosting account as well, unlike worpress.com. But, you have an unlimited supply of themes, plugins, and all the customization a person needs. What stinks is that it requires ongoing site maintenance. What is great thought is that people can decide how the monetize there site. This is mostly for businesses and not for bloggers and beginners. When using wordpress.org, there us unlimited storage space.

Wordpress.com

With wordpress.com, the site does it all for you such as downloading the software, paying for the host, or managing a web server. Wordpress hosts all of the websites stuff so no one has to be in control of that. Peoples options for themes are limited unlike wordpress.org though, and people are not allowed to have plugins unless you pay a lot of money, a lot. Maintenance does not have to be controlled by the person so there isn't any ongoing maintenance. There is also limited room for monetizing your own site and the revenue has to be shared with wordpress.com. This is more for bloggers and for beginners, not really for businesses. Have limited storage space by using this site

Research: Embedded maps with pins that popup info

The client wants a map with pins on it where his clients live and when someone clicks on the pin then it gives the person that is viewing the site a paragraph about the project that the client has worked on when working on his clients houses and a picture of it. The three options that I chose for accomplishing this were Zillow, Lowes, and The North Face.

Zillow.com


Lowes.com

 TheNorthFace.com

I am going to use this as long with the programs that it used to help make the website
