WordPress Websites
What exactly is WordPress, and why should you consider it for your website? Let's break down what a WordPress website is and how It could be the perfect solution for your site.
What is a WordPress website?
WordPress has been around since 2003 and is one of the most popular open-source website-building platforms out there. According to aovup.com ”More than 42% of the internet is directly powered by WordPress websites”.
A WordPress website is used for managing, creating, and updating content through its built-in CMS (content management system) and displaying the content on the front end (what visitors to your site see). It’s a popular solution for anyone who needs a website with content that can be updated quickly and easily.
Expand your website's functionality
A WordPress website’s functionality can easily be expanded upon with one of the thousands of plugins available.
A WordPress plugin is a small piece of software that is designed to be installed and integrated directly into your WordPress site, allowing you to customize and expand its features and capabilities without writing any code.
Who is WordPress for?
Because of its flexibility and how popular the platform is, anyone can benefit from a WordPress website. It’s very popular with bloggers, businesses, and non-profits because of how easy it is to manage the content of the site. That being said, it’s not for everyone.
WordPress does require regular attention to keep it running at 100%. You need to make sure WordPress and any plugins are updated, PHP versions stay up to date, backups are created… It can be a lot. Your site could potentially run into serious issues if left unattended for too long. Not everyone has the time or desire to handle the updating and maintenance.
