There are nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">42K plug-ins available<\/a>; most of which are free. The advantages of WordPress outshine Javelin any day! <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Do the research<\/a>, ask around and then come back here for help.
