WordPress is one of the most popular programmes used to build a website; but why is WordPress so popular and why is it chosen over the thousands of other website builders available?
Firstly a WordPress Website is a very flexible programme with a wide variety of features which allows a wide variety of businesses to use it.
Easy to use
One of the main reasons for its popularity is how easy and simple it is to use – maintaining new content is incredibly simple and the addition of a WordPress app allows users to add new content from their phones and tablets too. With a minimal amount of training, even a novice to WordPress will be able to pick up its main features within 30 minutes of using it. To create a professional website, a professional may be needed for small adjustments though you will predominantly be able to build the website yourself which saves you massively on costs!
It’s SEO friendly!
Very few content management systems (CMS) consider SEO and its importance. However, each page on WordPress is indexed and affects the page ranking. Every time new content is added to the site, browsers are made aware so your hard work on your website will be praised by your business receiving a higher ranking and hopefully more traffic to the site too!
It’s free?! Yes of course!
This is highly important for businesses as many CMS will charge significant amounts. Small costs will of course still be required such as buying a domain and hosting. A team of developers are constantly updating WordPress too so that it is the most up-to-date and easiest CMS to use around the world.
Blog or Website?
WordPress was originally created as a blogging site and it retains many of its original features. As a result, adding new content such as news articles is particularly easy and the site can still be purely used to run a blog rather than a full website.
WordPress loves plugins!
Adding additional features to your site is particularly easy with WordPress as thousands of plugins have become available to ensure that your site can have a variety of functions ensuring that the site can meet all your business needs! You should always seek advice though as adding too many plugins can effect your website’s performance and speeds. Having a slow website, will discourage your visitors to look around, they will quickly get bored and go to your competitors.
It’s mobile optimized!
The importance of having a mobile optimized website is known by most businesses around the world and WordPress have ensured that their websites are responsive to the different devices that a user may be using the site from.
