4 Reasons You Would Choose a WordPress Author Website with the Elementor Theme

In this way, you can use SEO to your advantage; for example, if you write business or self-help books and wish to be found for your topic or niche, having a WordPress author website with pages that have been adjusted for SEO can enable people to discover you and your work!

Having your host and theme on one platform is a simple budget-friendly low-tech solution.
