Do you want to create a static website using WordPress CMS? Here in this post we have covered the details about the process of creating a static site using WordPress along with some quality themes for any static site.
WordPress is the most popular platform for creating blogs, it helps you to create a blog and publish your content without the requirement of any technical knowledge. But that doesn’t mean you can’t create a static website with WordPress....

Have you ever come across a website and thought “Wow, how did they do that?” I know I have. New websites are popping up all the time that challenge convention and push the limits of what a website can (and should be).
But what about sites built on WordPress in particular? Because so many people use themes, there’s a reputation that follows this CMS around like it can’t be used to create truly remarkable things. But I’ve got news for the naysayers: WordPress sites can have just as much wow factor.
I’ve spent some time digging through best-of lists, award sites, and asking for input from various WordPress groups to come up with a list as good as I can make it of the best WordPress sites out there right now. Mind you, these sites aren’t just good (if they were, the list would be quadruple its current length); they’re also unique and push boundaries with regard to design, navigation, UX, UI, effects, or content.

We're excited to announce new tools that help make WordPress even more accessible to people around the globe.
Roughly half of the content and traffic on the internet is in English1, yet English is the mother tongue of only about a quarter of internet users2, and less than 5% of the world’s population.3 We believe that WordPress.com should be for everyone, not just English speakers — it’s why we already serve WordPress in 131 languages — but we want to make it even more accessible.4 To keep so many languages up to date we need to make it radically easier for non-English speaking communities to help with translation. We’re proud to announce our latest step in that direction: the Community Translator.

WordPress 4.2.1 is now available. This is a critical security release for all previous versions and we strongly encourage you to update your sites immediately. A few hours ago, the WordPress team was made aware of a cross-site scripting vulnerability, which could enable commenters to compromise a site. The vulnerability was discovered by Jouko Pynnönen. WordPress 4.2.1 has begun to roll out as an automatic background update, for sites that support those. For more information, see the release notes or consult the list of changes.
Download WordPress 4.2.1 or venture over to Dashboard → Updates and simply click “Update Now”.

But today, I’m going to do something a little bit different. I’m going to roundup some of my personal favorite, free WordPress themes.
The Best Free WordPress Themes Available in 2015The themes I’ve collected below are all available via the official WordPress plugin repository. I selected most of them based on a combination of their popularity, user rating, and design. Those that do not have particularly high download counts or that are relatively new and untested made the cut due to unique design and/or standout plugin compatibility....
