Introduction
WordPress is a free online tool originally created to help people manage their blog posts. WordPress has since grown into one of the most widely used platforms for creating simple websites while offering a great deal of customisation but still being user friendly.
Too good to be true?
WordPress has a mixed reputation online with some people saying they’ve used it to create a beautiful website for a very affordable price, while others say that it simply does not make good websites.
The truth, as always, lies somewhere in between. WordPress is an amazing Content Management System (CMS), but to get the most out of it you need to know what you’re doing. Finding a great template is a good starting point, but there’s lots more to do after that.
Easy SEO editing
Get found online easier too, thanks to WordPress’s strong SEO capabilities. Made even easier with the addition of a popular plugin, Yoast SEO, it’s easy to ensure your site has all the meta data it needs in the correct places as it lets you edit the metadata on each page individually. It only leaves you with the task of knowing what to put in!
Extra functionality with Plugins.
WordPress is full of features that can help make your site look and work its best. If you’re struggling to make something work on your site there may well be a plugin to fix it. However, be wary, plugins may not be compatible with each other, and adding too many can slow down your site, or worse, force it to crash.
Start with scalability
And it’s not just for small sites. WordPress scales, so can be used whether you’re getting hundreds or hundreds of thousands of visitors. It can be a great place to start your site, as it can grow with your business.
It keeps secure too
As long as WordPress is configured and kept up to date it’s also very secure. It comes with frequent updates and a thriving community which has no signs of slowing down!
And you can sell on it!
There are even options to use your WordPress site to sell online, allowing you to have your own ecommerce website with a simple to use back end. However, if your goal is to sell, a different platform like OpenCart may be better for you.
