      <title>Building with WordPress Themes</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Quick question really, is it still advisable to build sites with WordPress knowing they will deprecate at some point in time and become a liability? We built a site for &lt;a href="https://paramounthw.org" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Paramount Health and Wellness&lt;/a&gt; and it has served us well so far. We recently rebuild another site &lt;a href="https://evolvinggraceafh.com" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Evolving Grace Adult Family Home&lt;/a&gt; whose initial theme before we had the project was custom build and could not be updated nor any changes made. Almost like as the world moved in front, it stood still. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are currently have one of our &lt;a href="https://zotechdesigns.com" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;sites&lt;/a&gt; theme creating all sorts of problems for us. It might be better to just code the site yourself and be free of future issues.&lt;/p&gt;
