Exporting live data to an external website

I'm trying to export live data (updates if and when updated on Salesforce) to an external website on a WordPress platform.
The central idea is that my website developer would take the data and create a filterable table with it.
From my understanding, WordPress uses PHP, HTML, and a bit of CSS.
Is it possible to export such data to a WordPress website?

If anyone can shed a bit of light on to this inquiry, it would be greatly appreciated.

You can use a outbound messsage from Salesforce to send your updated data, each time they are updated. Store those info in a table in wordpress (MySql database I think) and produce a page in wordpress that will read those data and produce your report.
You'll need to export data from Salesforce to MySQL for the first data load.

Thanks for the reply! So if I were to update the data every 2 weeks or so on Salesforce, it would have to be manually exported to the website each time?

If you want to update your data every 2 weeks, you can use a product like Apex Data Loader or similar to transfer on a regular bases data from Salesforce to your website. You can also use a cron job on your website to get records from salesforce.
