You’ve likely heard of WordPress before, but what does it do? WordPress is a Content Management System (CMS), which helps people manage their website’s content without needing to code. There are many advantages to using a CMS, especially WordPress, so let’s dive into them!
Many people are scared away from web design, thinking they need to learn coding languages—but that’s no longer true. WordPress breaks down the massive task of creating a website, and turns it into bite-sized pieces that you can manage through its Gutenberg editor. It lets you insert text, display images, and even use shortcodes for the overachievers out there.
One of the reasons we chose WordPress for our website is because of its versatility. There are tens of thousands of plugins available that let you customize your website and CMS to look, function, and feel exactly how you want them to.
Some plugins are free, while others are paid for. Most plugins that you’ll need when you first start a website are free, but as you expand your websites, their needs and resources do too!
One of the best parts of having such a large community is the wealth of free resources. Beyond plugins, there are also themes, which you can think of as the backbone of your website. A theme controls how your site is structured, its style, the look of your navigation menus (navbar and footer), and so much more.
You can choose from high-quality, optimized themes that fit your brand—or go for a custom theme tailored specifically to your needs. Our website is designed on a fully custom theme to support our complex needs
WordPress is regularly updated with new features, performance upgrades, and security fixes. Pair that with trusted plugins and a secure hosting provider, and you’ve got a solid, safe website that runs smoothly.
It’s important to update all of your plugins regularly when new updates come out, not just security plugins. Old plugins and themes are less safe and more prone to hackers so keep your website up to date!
At the end of the day, WordPress empowers you to build a professional-looking website without writing a single line of code. Whether you’re starting a blog, running a business, or launching an online store, WordPress gives you the flexibility and tools to make it happen—your way.
