WordPress has launched “Studio,” a new way to build WordPress websites on Windows or Mac without hosting on a server. WordPress Studio is available on the developer page. It is free to download and develop websites.
WordPress Studio is already famous among Mac users. Now, Microsoft Windows users can also create and test offline websites. It lets the developers share offline sites with the clients.
With the Studio feature, WordPress is targeting non-developers. It is becoming a go-to solution for newbies and experts to develop new websites before making them live.
WordPress is loosing popularity. WordPress Studio is an effort to regain its reputation.
