Creating a website continues to get easier and easier. There are all kinds of easy-to-use, off-the-shelf solutions for putting a website together quickly, and easily maintain it.

Design Lab’s sixth theme, Artpop, went live in the theme directory this week. It is marketed as a block-ready WordPress theme for blogs, portfolios, businesses, and WooCommerce shops. For the most part, it has a clean and open…
