  Hi there,

  That site does not use WordPress, but is custom built.

  There are tens of thousands of WordPress plugins out there, and it’s impossible for us to tell you which ones you’d need to build a site like that, as neither do we know all the plugins that are out there, nor do we know exactly what the site you linked to as an example can do.

  Hi @alwageait,

  Like anything else, plugins are not created equal. Some are great and will deliver as promised while others may be poorly coded and could put your site at risk. You need to do your own research and due diligence before you decide on a plugin to install, for every plugin you find, you’ll have many other options, look out for things like; the number of downloads (the more the better), feedback, is it regularly updated, etc.

  You can read more about plugins here:
