Three Advantages of WordPress
Mobile Responsiveness
Most of us look up sites on our smartphones when we’re out. We expect a site to load quickly and to look good on the smaller screen. Chances are you’ve come across a website. That wasn’t easy to navigate on your smartphone screen. When that happens, we are likely to leave the site and look elsewhere. This is a big problem for businesses. Mobile search is continuing to grow. Potential clients expect to be able to navigate websites on their phones and tablets. Many WordPress themes are mobile responsive. They change how a page is displayed depending on where it is being accessed. This makes it easier for mobile users to clearly read your site. You can make a custom website and have it be mobile responsive, but it will cost you a lot more than a WordPress site.
Versatile
Your business is unique, and your website should be too. Thanks to different themes, your WordPress site can help capture your brand and share it with the world. WordPress developers have created themes to showcase images, products, services, and more. Some are meant to be online magazines. Others function as online curriculum vitae. With numerous developers constantly creating new themes, there’s bound to be one that resonates with you.
In addition to the various themes which can craft the layout of your site, WordPress allows developers to create plugins. These plugins can help you ensure you are using good SEO methods, make it easy to tweet your latest blog posts or help you build a custom contact form. Plugins can help you unify the different services you use to reach your target audience.
Easy to Use
All of the benefits of a WordPress site wouldn’t mean much if they were hard to use. Even if you’re not a tech expert, WordPress makes building a site simple. At its most basic, WordPress allows you to choose a theme and then start uploading content such as images, copy, and blog posts. For businesses that prefer a customer solution, WordPress also allows customization. This often requires more technical knowledge as coding is required.
WordPress sites can be edited from anywhere. You can write a blog post from your phone while waiting for appetizers and run updates from your home computer. The interface is user-friendly, as is the mobile app. Plus, if you can have multiple users so your team can access the site as necessary to make changes or upload new content.
Your website is a vital part of your online presence. Make sure it represents you and your brand. Whether you’re in the market for a new website or considering revamping your current site, consider trying WordPress.
