As a small business owner helping clients establish their online presence, I’m often asked why I chose to use WordPress for website development.
Here’s something I love telling my clients: There was a time when you needed a computer science degree to update a website? Not anymore. WordPress has a user-friendly dashboard that’s as easy to use as writing an email. With a little guidance from me, you’ll be comfortable updating text and images, adding new pages, or publishing blog posts. And remember, I’m always here if you need help with anything more complex.
WordPress is open-source, which in simple terms means you’re not trapped with one company or service provider. It’s like owning your house outright instead of renting – you have complete control. You can move to a different hosting company, work with a different website developer, make changes yourself, or even sell your business (including the website). You can do all of this because you truly own your website. No ransom fees, no starting over from scratch.
WordPress powers over 40% of all websites on the internet. This incredible community means you’re never alone. It’s like being part of a huge neighborhood watch program – millions of people working together to keep things secure and running smoothly. The platform is constantly improving, with new features and security updates released regularly.
With WordPress, updating your website is as simple as editing a document. You don’t need to be a tech expert to keep your site fresh and engaging
Think of WordPress as a massive set of digital building blocks. Just as you can create almost anything with Lego pieces, WordPress gives us incredible flexibility to build exactly what you need. Want to add an online store later? Click, snap – it’s like adding a new room to your house. Need a contact form or photo gallery? There’s a block for that too. Whether you’re a local bakery, an artist, a social club or a growing tech startup, WordPress scales with your business. It’s like having a custom-tailored suit that adjusts as you grow.
One of the best things about WordPress is that it grows with you. Maybe today you just need a simple website to showcase your services, but what about next year? Perhaps you’ll want to start selling products online, add a booking system for appointments, or create a members-only area. WordPress handles all of these expansions smoothly, without needing to rebuild your entire website from scratch. It’s like having a house with pre-built connections for future additions – when you’re ready to expand, everything’s already set up to support your growth.
