Plugins
This page shows recommended plugins that we think wordpress powered websites should utilize. We’ll be updating the list as more plugins become available. You’ll notice plugins like ad managers and WP Page Navi aren’t listed – it’s because we already utilize codes in all of our themes that make these plugins unneeded.
This plugin is perfect for making sure your wordpress powered website is up to standards as far as SEO goes. Using this plugin, on top of the work we’ve done SEO’ing our themes, you’re sure to get great rankings.
This is a great plugin for keeping your wordpress site virus free. If your site gets hacked and targeted with php code spam, this plugin will ensure you’re able to spot it and get rid of it.
I utilize this plugin to ensure that any of the links I post in my websites are still valid and point to proper website pages, even months down the road. Writing killer content is one thing, but realizing you’ve lost thousands of visitors due to faulty links is not good.
This is an awesome plugin for putting contact forms on your website. Yes, multiple forms in multiple areas. Building the forms are simple and virtually spam free (I’ve used this plugin on over 10 of my own websites and never received a spam email through it).
Generate a sitemap for your website with ease by using this plugin. It’s a great way to allow those search engine spiders to crawl your website.
Using this plugin, you can set up daily/weekly/monthly back ups of your database so if your site ever goes down unexpectedly, you won’t be out all of the content you’ve already published. I’ve learned the hard way that this is a must have plugin.
Turn your wordpress site into a mobile ready website. The theme it utilizes is clean and easy to read on phones like the iPhone, Blackberry, ect. Much better than showing your websites default template in full size.
This is a great way to interact with your readers. The first time your visitor leaves a comment, this plugin automatically sends them a thank you note that you can customize to fit your needs. Let them know about your rss feed, newsletter, ect.
