Hoot Host is excited to announce our release of HootPress 2.0 – our enhanced version of WordPress. We created HootPress to help businesses get the most from their WordPress website. A more streamlined, easy to manage WordPress backend that empowers business owners to work more efficiently. All in a clean and modernized WordPress interface.

HootPress takes WordPress to the next level, allowing business owners to focus on their business operations. WordPress websites with clunky page builder tools like Elementor and too many plugins installed make for a nightmare WordPress backend experience. Popups, updates, third party notifications, developer tools and more making a cluttered, disorganized backend that distracts and slows down your workflow.
