  Hello
  I am trying to manage the website of the hotel that I work for.
  I am trying to make it mobile friendly. I have seen some videos on YouTube and apparently it’s very easy to make it with wordpress, but my problem is this website IS NOT CREATED WITH WORDPRESS.
  Is there a way I can manage this website with wordpress?

  Thank you all in advance

  You could redo the entire site with WordPress.ORG installed on the web site – but that is a fair amount of work setting it up – you can’t use “WordPress” to manage a site that is not built with WordPress

  Note there are two versions of WordPress – see below for more info

  The site you are asking about does not seem to be hosted on WordPress.COM so you need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using.
