Building your website with WordPress is a smart idea. Why?
For anyone who has tried to enter the “world of websites”, I’m sure you’ve noticed the maze of tools, coding languages, web platforms, etc.
It can all get very confusing , quickly.
This is where WordPress shines. Its simplicity and intuitiveness have made it one of the most popular web platforms (over 40% of sites online run on WordPress).
Ease of use
WordPress has a great user experience. It takes a bit to learn the whole system, but to get the basics down and manage your website, you won’t find anything easier.
The correct term for WordPress is a CMS; Content Management System.
Basically, it is designed to help you manage all the content on your website… From your logo, website theme to your blog posts, etc. It is all there in one place, helping even beginners in all things computers and technology to manage their own site.
There are also “themes” that provide super simple drag-and-drop page builders , so you can create amazing looking web pages without knowing how to code.
Flexibility
Do you want to have something pop up and get people’s information on your articles, have them share or put your YouTube video on the site?
All the “features” you could ever want are available in the WordPress Marketplace . All you have to do is download a “plugin” or add-on that automatically configures your website with new features.
You can get free plugins for almost everything, but there are also great paid solutions.
Support
Since there is such a large community of people using WordPress, finding help online is usually just a click away.
