Sandalsand Norge >>
Sandalsand uses WordPress as a blogging platform and content management system - and so are 60 million websites across the globe. In addition I have number of useful WordPress plugins.
This post was first published in 2014. There has been several updates.
WordPress is a versatile platform capable of handling just about anything you like. This is largely due to its free and open source technical base and not least the variety of themes and plugins available for integration.
Read why and how I moved into using WordPress.
My websites, Sandalsand Global Travel and its Norwegian language sister Sandalsand Norge, both use the Divi theme from Elegant Themes. WordPress themes primarily control the visual design and layout of a site.
In addition I have a number of active useful WordPress plugins adding functionality to the websites. These plugins may add new features or extend existing functionality.
Over the years I have tried other plugins as well. Some conflicted with other plugins and had to be deleted. Others did not deliver on their promises. Some plugins were not updated by their makers and produced a compatibility risk for the websites.
Obviously some useful WordPress plugins come and go, others become so essential to running your website that you will run into serious trouble if you deactivate or delete them.
Here is my current list (2025):
