There are many different website building software available nowadays. These include WIX, Squarespace, Shopify, and GoDaddy to name a few, so it can be overwhelming to choose one if you intend to build your website yourself. As a company that’s built and maintained websites for many years, we have generally found that WordPress is the most versatile and user-friendly option on the market. In this blog post, find out why WordPress is our go-to choice for website creation software.
Flexibility and Customisation:
WordPress offers a vast library of plugins and themes, allowing for extensive customisation and functionality. This gives us more control over the look and feel of your website. With WordPress, we can also dive into the HTML, CSS and PHP code if necessary, which you can’t do on some other website builders as easily. This allows us to have more flexibility and control over your site’s structure and behaviour.
SEO Optimisation:
WordPress is considered very SEO friendly, it offers various SEO plugins and features to help improve your website’s search engine ranking and visibility. We also have better control over the technical SEO aspects including control over the sitemaps and URL structure (also known as permalinks).
Scalability:
If you anticipate your business growing significantly in the next few years, WordPress is a good platform as it can handle increased traffic and complex features without significant technical challenges. For online stores, we use one of WordPress’s e-commerce plugins – WooCommerce, which provides a scalable and feature-rich platform for selling your products. We have created many e-commerce stores using WooCommerce and find it very user-friendly!
Community and Support:
WordPress has a huge online community and extensive documentation, making finding help and answers to our questions easier. The community also ensures a constant supply of new themes, plugins, and support for existing plugins, so any technical issues are solved quickly.
