Ok, let’s begin the journey in finding out why WordPress is worthy of our trust and investment, shall we?
WordPress is Free and Easy to Use
First, you should know that WordPress is open source, which makes it completely free to use. Since it was launched in 2003, thousands of excellent people have contributed to its evolution, making WordPress become an amazing CMS without any cost needed, no matter how big your website can get. Well, while WordPress itself is indeed free, you will have to pay a little each month for your domain and hosting service. Premium themes and plugins that help you run your website smoothly also cost a few bucks, but they are not necessarily required. It is totally up to you to decide whether you need them or not.
Now we move to the “easy-to-use” part. WordPress offers an intuitive user interface, with which you can freely add pages, posts, images and whatever multimedia files you have to your website. What is more, plugins are always available to extend these core features. With assistance from the right plugin, you can transform your website into anything: an eCommerce platform, a photo gallery, an invoicing system, etc.
WordPress Has Amazing Functionality
Talking about WordPress’s features, it can be an endless listing. However, I will make it short by naming the most frequently used ones, including blogging, commenting, drop-down menus, and obtaining emails. If they are not enough for you, you can ask for help from plugins just like I mentioned before, and add more features to your website, for example calendars, video, galleries, slide shows, etc. With WordPress, the idea of an ideal business website of your own is not so hard to achieve.
It is Good for SEO
It is a matter of fact that Google loves WordPress. Even Google engineer Matt Cutts says “WordPress automatically solves a ton of SEO issues.” And we all know how important SEO is to a website if that website wishes to become a big and successful one. WordPress has some default features that help keep track of and analyse the traffic, as well as some options that keep your competitors out-ranked in the search results. Make use of them wisely!
Want to make it even more SEO-friendly? Go get a trusted plugin right away, something like the free Yoast SEO plugin – my favourite.
WordPress Offers Safety
You have been expecting this, haven’t you?
Yes, I know how vital this feature is, especially to a business WordPress website that requires a high level of privacy and security. Worry not! WordPress is here to quench your thirst. By regularly updating its core system, WordPress is doing its best to keep customers safe and sound.
Despite the safety WordPress guarantees, you may run into problems yourself with bad choices in hosting services and plugins. As these things can cause security holes in your website, pay close attention to what people have to say about them and choose carefully. We also offer WordPress maintenance services to ensure your investment stays secure and updated.
Brilliant eCommerce Solutions
For businesses eCommerce solutions are absolutely needed. If you decide to put your faith in WordPress, which I highly hope you will after reading this article, there are brilliant eCommerce solutions that can turn your website into an all-out digital store. I personally prefer the award winning WooCommerce system.
You will not be disappointed if you choose to go with the unbeatable WordPress & WooCommerce combination. We can help you get selling fast!
Huge Support from a Huge Community
Joining WordPress means that you will have a super large, generous and supportive army behind you. With more than 76.5 million blogs that WordPress has at the moment, you won’t have to frown every time a problem arises, because fellow users are always more than ready to offer a hand in troubleshooting it. Aside from that, you can also exchange ideas with each other by taking part in relevant forums and events, for example, WordPress official forum and WordCamp events.
WordPress Never Stops Enhancing!
Last but not least, this wonderful CMS surely never stops improving itself for the sake of its beloved users. This may sound theoretical, but, as a long-standing user of WordPress, I can tell you that WordPress has never failed to listen to its users in order to make itself better. It does not hire a lot of employees, but all of them are high-level developers whose job its is to drag WordPress forward. You can see my point from the frequent updates WordPress offers to customers. Furthermore, just like I said in the very first place, WordPress is open source. It gives chances to every developer out there to improve the user experience. What else can you expect from such a CMS?
Now, it is time for you to judge for yourself and see: Placing your trust in WordPress for a website, your business will flourish!
