ThemeIsle
Initially, the main goal of the ThemeIsle team was to develop simple yet functional WordPress themes. But gradually the site was overgrown with useful resources. Guides, tutorials, reviews, plugins, useful WordPress tools - you will find all this on the company's blog. For example, a detailed guide for beginners “How to Make a WordPress Website” is available for free. Article and video topics include not only WordPress, but Marketing and SEO, Blogging and Ecommerce in general.

The team encourages users to “ask questions, discuss trends and developments, share great new tools, offer tips, and share your thoughts about WordPress.”
By the way, an interesting feature of the site is the pirate theme, which immediately catches your eye. Already on the logo, a parrot meets you, and skulls, palm trees, and, of course, the pirates themselves, scattered throughout the site, will not let you forget about where you got to (of course, on the pirate island!). All in all, all hands on deck and let's dive deeper into WordPress!

First, an entire section is dedicated to WordPress tutorials. Second, the blog authors also write about Gutenberg text editor, Elementor constructor, and WooCommerce e-commerce plugin.
By the way, speaking of plugins. Did you know that there is a simple and convenient way to receive notifications about events on your WordPress site, blog, online store on WooCommerce (for example, about registering new users, filling out a contact form or a new order) via instant messages in 40+ messengers, SMS, push notifications and voice calls?
The Notify.Events WordPress plugin will help you get things done quickly. The plugin is free and works with WooCommerce, Contact Form 7, WPForms and Ninja Forms.
