5 Reasons to Use Wordpress for your Website Design

WordPress is a content management system (CMS) and blogging platform used by 24% of website owners across the globe. But why is WordPress so popular? There are many other CMSs out there, including Shopify, Wix, Weebly, Squarespace, Jumla, and Drupal. With our experience as Santa Rosa WordPress Website Designers, we’ve had clients start with one platform only to get frustrated and switch over to WordPress. When you boil it down, WordPress is the most human-friendly platform. And not just business owner humans, web designers too! If you ask any credible web designer about WordPress, they will probably sing these 5 praises. 

It’s extremely easy to use. From software updates and SEO to the design and content editing, WordPress is is incredibly easy to understand, even when you have a bunch of people with various WordPress competency levels working on the site simultaneously. It’s also very manageable for the one-man-show running everything on his own, if he has the right plugins. WordPress Web design is the easiest way to bring your dream website to life.

WordPress is the bridge between search engines and humans. WordPress is hands down the best platform for websites that need SEO (that’s all websites). The backend is user-friendly and comes equipped with measurement tools to let you know how your SEO will rank and what you can do better.

It’s the universal platform. We always recommend choosing WordPress on the backend because so many people know how to use it, even if it’s just elementary knowledge. This makes things easier when you hire different freelancers tinkering in the backend throughout the life of your website. WordPress can handle it and communication between you and your web development or creative team is likely to be easier. You won’t have to teach a designer or copywriter how to use WordPress.

You have more creative flexibility. Whether you want an opt-in to pop up as your viewers hover over the exit button or a beautiful slideshow of your best work, there’s a plugin for that. You have the ability to optimize your pages, add call to actions that link to your email marketing platform, embed forms, and even make your website load faster.

WordPress is massively supportive and secure. Over the 10 years since its launch, WordPress has gained an incredible amount of support from users, developers, and designers. This community is responsible for making all these plugins and maintaining the usability  on the platform. WordPress also stays current on updates and always informs you when another update is due. Many people who use WordPress as their CRM use WP Engine to host their site. This is a very secure hosting service and offers outstanding integration options.
