10 Reasons why you need a WordPress website.

I started out coding websites from scratch using CSS, HTML and JavaScript. It is a slow process which meant it cost a lot. It also meant that each update to the site meant more coding. I saw that a lot of companies were starting to use WordPress websites. A little investigation showed me that I could still create a custom design for the website but having WordPress at the core meant I could easily update content without coding, in fact, even the client could update their content. There is also a range of WordPress Plugins that make complex tasks easy. Do you want a booking calendar on your website? How about a quotation request form? No problem! This meant I spent less time coding, which meant my clients were paying less for a product that they had more control over. I haven’t looked back.

WordPress is the most popular content management system (CMS) in the world, powering around 40% of all websites. It is used by some of the largest businesses in the world, from Sony to Mercedes Benz, from Meta to Rolling Stone magazine. If someone tells you WordPress isn’t good enough for your business, they’re almost certainly trying to sell you something more expensive. If I haven’t convinced you yet, here are ten more reasons:

  1. Ease of use

    2. WordPress’s dashboard makes it easy to create, edit, and manage your website’s content. The platform’s ease of use ensures that you don’t need extensive technical skills to maintain your site effectively. Alternatively, you can leave it to Expand Studio to manage it on your behalf.

  2. Flexibility and Customization

    3. With thousands of themes and plugins available, WordPress provides unparalleled flexibility and customization options. We can create a custom designed website to suit your brand’s needs. WordPress Plugins extend the functionality of your site, from Facebook integrations to an online store. This means your developer doesn’t have to code these things from scratch which means you get more features for your website dollar.

  3. Scalable

    4. WordPress is scalable, meaning it can grow with your business. Whether you’re starting with a simple blog or expanding into a complex e-commerce site, WordPress can accommodate your needs. Its architecture supports both small-scale projects and large, high-traffic websites.

  4. SEO-Friendly

    5. Search engine optimization (SEO) is crucial for improving your website’s visibility on search engines. WordPress is built with SEO best practices in mind and offers plugins like RankMath to help you optimize your content, meta descriptions, and site structure. This helps improve your site’s search engine rankings and attracts more organic traffic.

  5. Mobile and Tablet Friendly

    6. In today’s mobile-driven world, having a responsive website is essential. That means that it changes layout depending on the size of the screen that it is being viewed on. Expand Studio’s WordPress websites are designed to be responsive, ensuring that your site looks and functions well on all devices, from desktops to smartphones. This enhances the user experience and helps retain visitors.

  6. Security

    7. WordPress takes security seriously and offers various plugins and features to protect your site from threats. Regular updates and a range of security plugins help keep your website secure.

  7. Cost-Effective

    8. Whilst Expand Studio customise your website to look exactly how you want it to look, we don’t have to spend as much time creating solutions to specific problems, such as adding complex quotation forms or video sliders. This means we can provide a much cheaper solution when compared with a website coded from the ground up.

  8. Strong Community Support

    9. WordPress boasts a vast and active community of developers, designers, and users. This means we have access to extensive resources, including forums, and documentation. This means that we can easily source expertise to solve complex design problems. Whether you need help troubleshooting issues or seeking advice on best practices, the WordPress community is a valuable support network.

  9. Easy Integration

    10. WordPress integrates seamlessly with various third-party tools and services. From social media platforms and email marketing services to payment gateways and analytics tools. This means you can easily connect your WordPress site with other systems to enhance functionality and streamline operations.

  10. Regular Updates

    11. WordPress is continuously updated to improve performance, add new features, and address security vulnerabilities. These updates ensure that your website remains current with technological advancements and security standards, providing long-term stability and reliability.
