We are a WordPress development agency, using it almost exclusively for our website builds. It is by far the one of the most efficient and cost-effective method of meeting our client’s requirements.
Sticking with custom-built sites rather than something like WordPress tends to prioritise the preferences of the developer over the needs of the client. And that is not what we want.
If you’re unsure as to whether a WordPress website is the best option for your business, we’ve delved into our reasons for using it in this article.
However, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. When you reach the end of this article, if you still have questions or lingering doubts about WordPress, please get in touch and one of our team will have a call with you about how WordPress can help your specific business.
WordPress has More Flexibility than You Think…
People sometimes say that WordPress is not flexible, which is true out of the box. It uses templates and themes to make it easy for users to make a nice-looking website that can’t be changed all that much. Want to try something different? So, too bad.
But if you’re an experienced WordPress agency like us, you can build a site from scratch to your exact specifications without losing the WordPress content management system on the back end.
Our developers are highly experienced with the platform, which means that we can give our clients websites that look exactly how they want them to, while pushing the back end to its limits to give them full control over the content of almost every part.
WordPress is Easy for You to Edit
We’ve already said that WordPress is a content management system (CMS), and that’s really all it is: software for adding content to a website, whether that website uses a pre-made WordPress theme or was built from the ground up by experienced developers.
And it’s very simple to use. Even though it’s not quite a drag-and-drop editor, it’s very easy to figure out how to use.
Of course, the back end will be just as complicated as the front end, but we do everything we can to make sure adding content to our sites is simple and makes sense.
WordPress is Very Secure
There are numerous news articles and opinions claiming that WordPress is unsafe and under attack. While occasional hackers do attempt to exploit WordPress’s vulnerabilities, the platform’s large user base means that there is no shortage of people testing bugs, providing fixes, and building tools to enhance security.
Ultimately, we must perform some work to maintain WordPress’s security, but it’s not that much work. Keeping the WordPress software and any plugins or themes up-to-date is essential, but the rest of it boils down to things like secure passwords and backups – which are requirements for any website.
We Look Beyond WordPress when Needed
Not everything can be done in WordPress. Sometimes you need a store or a way to make reservations, or maybe you have your own database of products, properties, or job listings that the platform can’t handle. This isn’t something that comes with WordPress.
But we are experts at integrating all kinds of systems with WordPress, and we can make different plugins and systems talk to each other. This makes it easy for you to make changes in your database that will be reflected on your website.
We love WordPress because of this. Get in touch with us if you have any questions or want more help with the website.
