Should You Use WordPress for Your Website?

You’ve probably heard of WordPress, since it’s the most popular Open Source Content Management System (CMS) in the world. It’s also our choice when we develop websites for our clients. 75 million website owners can’t be wrong: it’s a superior product to anything else out there at the moment. It is completely free to install and run it. It offers the widest array of options, features, and plugins, which makes it easy to get a website up and running as quickly as possible. Our team has worked with WordPress for many years, and we know that it delivers. Here are some of the other top reasons why we choose WordPress for our clients. 

Flexibility

Since WordPress is so popular and widely used, there are thousands of themes from which to choose. There’s certainly something that will work for your website, no matter what its purpose is. Depending on the theme you choose, there is a seemingly unlimited number of ways that you can customize it to your liking. 

This goes beyond just layout and color. Plugins help increase the functionality of your WordPress theme to provide anything you need. As a bonus, many of these themes and plugins are completely free. Some of the other popular CMS systems, such as Squarespace, Shopify, and bigCommerce simply don’t have the functionality that WordPress has. 

Easy Startup 

WordPress is the easiest CMS to get up and running. It’s designed to be simple, so web development specialists, such as we have on our team, can quickly design and deploy so you are up and running in no time. With so many free options for functionality, you can pick and choose what you want to pay for. There are often free plugins and features for things that can cost a substantial amount on other CMS platforms. 

Another part of the ease of setting up wordpress sites is how easily our clients can use them. It’s simple, which means there’s often very little training needed, no matter how inexperienced your team might be. We will do all the complicated stuff to get your website going, and all you need to do is keep it current. WordPress offers video tutorials and help features so that getting answers is never difficult. 

Maintenance

If you are going to manage the day-to-day operations of your website, there is no CMS that offers an easier experience. It is designed with non-developers in mind, which makes it easy to use and update. Do you want to put a video or a photo carousel on a post? No problem, you can quickly and easily copy and paste into the WordPress editor and have it on your website in seconds. Besides, if you find anything too difficult or complicated, you can give us a call. 

It’s Perfect for SEO

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is no doubt a big part of any digital marketing strategy, and WordPress is preferred by all search engines, including Google. WordPress sites are more likely to achieve higher rankings, because WordPress is coded with SEO in time. Not only that, but with simple programming and customization, it’s easy to use alt text, optimize images, and handle other tasks that will help with your SEO tactics. 

Security

Security should be important to all business owners with a website, and WordPress can deliver the goods. Along with simplicity, security is the other touchstone of wordpress development. With hackers getting bolder every day, we want our clients to feel confident that their information and their clients’ information is safe and secure at all times. Our developers can also provide additional security options so you can rest your head knowing that you and your clients are doubly protected. 

It Works

Sometimes it’s worth it to go against the grain and choose a product that isn’t as popular. That’s not the case when it comes to choosing a CMS. WordPress is the best for many reasons, and the bottom line is that it works. It is compatible with thousands of plugins that function flawlessly within its framework, and it is easily customized and maintained. You will get fewer errors and glitches than with other CMS systems, and it provides plenty of support and help if there is an issue. 

We Can Make it Better

WordPress is great all on its own. However when you add an expert group of developers like we have on our team, the sky is truly the limit. There is nothing that we can’t modify or change for you to get the perfect functionality that you are looking for. If you want it, we can make it happen with WordPress. Other CMS systems start off with limitations, and also do not offer the extra customizations and the ability to modify that WordPress does. There is simply no other option for providing the best to our clients.
