5 reasons why WordPress is the best CMS for your website

19th May 2017

A live look at activity across WordPress.com

1. WordPress isn’t going anywhere fast

As of March 2016, 26.4% of the entire web is powered by WordPress. It’s also the most used CMS with almost 65% of the market share, and this is growing as I continue to write. This means WordPress won’t become obsolete – you can count on your website being supported for decades to come.

2. WordPress is very secure

WordPress is open source, but that doesn’t mean it’s not secure. Updates to the WordPress core are constantly being published so any security threats will be patched very quickly. To ensure your website is as secure as possible WordPress should be updated and maintained by a Developer on a regular basis.

3. WordPress is cost effective and flexible

WordPress is open source so the source code is open to the public. This allows Developers to create themes and plugins that are easily integrated into your website. The WordPress plugin library has over 50,000 plugins of which some are free and some charge a little. WordPress plugins can be a cost effective way of adding complex functionality to your WordPress website. Plugins (even the free ones) are updated regularly to improve features so that your website will be performing at it’s best.

4. WordPress has a great e-commerce platform

WooCommerce is a robust plugin that adds out of the box fully-featured e-commerce functionality to your website. A Developer can fully customise WooCommerce to your needs with seamless integration. It also supports all major payments methods hassle free. The WordPress Dashboard gives you full access to your Products and Services along with detailed sales reports. Visit the official WooCommerce website for full details.

5. WordPress is easy to use

Adding and updating content on your website is simple and straightforward, as it should be. From the Dashboard within your WordPress website you have access to all your content at your fingertips. You can actually update your website on your phone or tablet as the WordPress Dashboard is fully responsive. Even the most dynamic content can be customised by a Developer to ensure that you can add/update Carousels, Full screen videos, Contact forms and Menus.

So, let’s build? Contact the studio and receive an array of creative flair with a breadth of experience and ideas.
