Why We Use WordPress

If you have been in the market for a website, you may have noticed that there are TONS of website builders and website services out there, such as Wix, Square Space, GoDaddy Site Builder, and too many others to keep track of. And while some are free or at budgeted costs, you get what you pay for.

So for us, it’s easy…we use WordPress® as a website building platform and content management system (CMS) because our experience has been nothing short of awesome time and time again!

Plus over 75% of the world’s top Brands trust WordPress, like Sony®, Disney®, and Meta® (formerly Facebook), to name a few.

So why a WordPress® Website?

Since our introduction to WordPress in 2013, we found it to be more secure, faster and more intuitive to learn as compared to competitive website building platforms. Plus WordPress is free and open source, which means there are millions of contributors around the world that add features and functionality to WordPress to make it better every day.

Then you add the scalability of WordPress through its ability to change your website’s look and feel with new themes and the ability to extend the functionality of your site with tens of thousands of Plugins, WordPress is hard to beat.

In our humble opinion, the biggest benefit of a WordPress website for you, the business owner, is that you will be able to easily edit your page content and manage your website on your own, without having to hire and depend on a web developer.

The intuitive WordPress CMS, coupled with Visual page builders (like the free plugin: Elementor – which is what we use to build all of our websites) allows you to edit a webpage just like you would edit a Microsoft Word document. You can even drag and drop new widgets on to your page like a video or image, a checklist with colorful icons, a contact form, an interactive Google map, and much, much more.

And if you want to take further control of your website’s content and functionality, you can leverage Plugins, most of which are FREE.

WordPress Plugins extend your website’s potential and can allow you to turn your website into anything you want it to be, like an eCommerce online store, an online menu / ordering system for your restaurant, a portfolio of your work with the ability to add payment captures like PayPal and Square, and so much more.
