10 Reasons To Build on WordPress
I’ve been designing and building websites since the beginning! We’re often asked why we always tend to build on WordPress, so here are our top 10 reasons it remains our top choice for a website CMS.
Ease of Use
WordPress is super user-friendly, even if you’re not a tech whiz. Its intuitive interface makes it easy to add content, manage media, and update pages without needing any coding knowledge. Is the back end like the internet from the early 2000s? Yes. But is it easy to use once you’re familiar with it? Definitely. It doesn’t need to be shiny, it just needs to work.
Flexibility for All Kinds of Sites
WordPress started as a blogging platform, but it has evolved. Today, you can use it for everything from e-commerce sites to portfolios, and even big company sites. You get the freedom to create exactly what you need. You’re a local yoga studio and need to take bookings? No problem. Complicated multi-data stream comparison platform? Hold our coffee.
Thousands of Themes
With so many themes (both free and premium) available, you can find a design that suits your brand perfectly. And if you want to customise a theme, you can also do that when you build on WordPress. (We can help with that too, by the way.)
Endless Plugins for Extra Features
Need a specific feature? There’s a plugin for that. Whether it’s SEO, e-commerce, social sharing, or email marketing, WordPress has a massive library of plugins to add functionality to your site without custom coding. They have anything you need- from plug ins to make it snow on your website over Christmas, a plug in to give you a virtual pet on your backend dashboard, and even one to mimic a zombie attack on your website. (It also has genuinely useful ones too)
SEO-Friendly
WordPress is built with SEO in mind. It has clean code, allows you to manage permalinks, and has plugins like Yoast that make on-page optimisation easy. WordPress gives you a solid foundation for improving your search engine visibility.
