The whole world is going through a vast economic wave and e-commerce
has been reaching amazing levels in the past decade or so. Businesses
of today have succeeded in en-cashing the opportunity to have maximum
visibility via social media today. People in this era are craving for
one thing in common: ‘Content’. In the international market of
advertising where the popular phrase ‘Content is King’ cannot be
emphasized more (if not already!) comes the role of Content
Management Systems (CMS). These are as important as your greatest
assets in your individual businesses; doesn’t matter if you just
want to write a blog, provide a service or simply design your
one-page ‘Contact Us’ form. In order to build great websites, you
need to have the most efficient CMS that lays the perfect foundation
for your content to go out in the market. WordPress is one such
content management system.
In other words, WordPress is a CMS that helps you build amazing websites using features like plugin tools that take away the hassle of coding and programming from the entire process of website development.

While there are
other sources of building your websites like PHP, Node.js,
javascript, HTML, CSS, etc. here are 8 reasons why you should build
your website on WordPress:
- It is an Open Source platform
Similar to any popular computer programming language, WordPress is available as an Open Source and thus can be used very easily as the code for designing the tool is already out on the cloud for you to start building your own website on. This saves you tons of development time. Multiple programmers out there have laid out there codes on the cloud in today’s time for others to use making code accessible to the needy and in turn saving them the effort to start everything from scratch.
- It is extremely cost-effective
The WordPress design and development in today’s era is extremely affordable and cheap when it comes to the amount of quality it delivers. In order to maintain the data and design in future also, there is no use of hiring an external resource since it can be done at an individual level too.
- Global & convenient to use
No matter where you are and which place you belong, WordPress has two components in its architecture:
a, Admin panel: Getting access to this helps to change the navigation bars, editing text, dialogue boxes, adding or removing plugins on the website as per client requirements efficiently.
b, Front end: The UI is handled simply by drag-drop features and much
more. This helps you design your website in the manner you like to
create maximum impact on the potential viewer.
You don’t need to have a special skill in any of the programming languages in order to design a webpage on WordPress. This makes it easier for any layman to design their own website using the simple tools and plugins available on the platform thereby decreasing the cost and increasing the convenience.

- Fast construction to install
Complementing the previous point, WordPress is very easy to install and you can immediately access the features of both wordpress.com & wordpress.org (yes, WP is divided into two parts) once they have been properly set up. The framework sets up itself post installation in almost no time.
- Responsive by default
With the era of smartphones in the present time, it is very important for a website to be compatible with all sorts of screen types from SMART TVs to mobile phones, other screen gadgets, etc. No matter from where you access a website that has been built using WordPress, it will be responsive irrespective of the medium via which it is being accessed.
After mobile traffic surpassed desktop traffic in 2014, responsiveness became a must-have feature in every internet framework.
- SEO Optimized
We must all admit that WordPress does get a few blessings by default. Along with ease of responsiveness you get better search engine optimization. This has been made possible by the simple design and code in WP which helps in proper Google Indexing. WordPress is SEO friendly and this makes it highly ranked among the choices for the better content management systems around the worldwide web. Maximum visibility with the best design, what else do people on the internet look for anyways?
- Plugins for simply everything
There are thousands of plugins on WordPress available for a huge pool of clients. You need maps? It’s there. You need timestamps? It’s there. All this and much more once you start exploring the in-depths of WordPress tools. While in the case of traditional websites, adding new features becomes a tedious and tiresome task; for sophisticated platforms like WP, it’s just a matter of three steps. Above all, the think tank at WordPress has documented almost everything that you might be looking for in a website as per your requirements.
- Increased Security
A lot many people have debated in the past over the fact that there are many security loopholes when you create webpages and/or websites through WordPress. All these myths have been debunked since the time the officials started hiring the right people to build the web security of their sites. If you have the people with the right set of skills backing your product, there are no chances of a breach, thereby making the entire system hack-proof. This long lasted myth of security concerns did make its own wave during the past few years via influencers and so called experts but now the product has become better as soon as it reached a bigger platform.
Above all this, WordPress gives you a vast social media outreach too where your content gets maximum visibility. While there are advantages to using WordPress as your primary website builder, there are certain cons too like any other aspect of generic existence. In the end, it all depends on the client’s or customer’s requirement and while traditional website builders and content management systems have been doing it, WP has come out to be one such tool that makes the entire process a lot more easy, fun and happening.
