Building your website with WordPress is a smart idea. Why?<\/span><\/p>\n

For anyone who has tried to get into the \u201cwebsite world\u201d, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve noticed the labyrinth of tools, coding languages, web platforms etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

It all can get very confusing<\/strong>, quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is where WordPress shines. It’s simplicity<\/strong> & intuitiveness has made it one of the most popular web platforms (over 30% of sites online run on WordPress).<\/span><\/p>\n

Ease of Use<\/b><\/h3>\n

WordPress has a great user experience. It takes a little bit to learn the entire system – but to get the basics and manage your website, you won\u2019t find anything easier.<\/span><\/p>\n

The correct term for WordPress is a CMS; Content Management System. <\/span><\/p>\n

Basically, it\u2019s built to help you manage all of the content on your website<\/a>\u2026 From your logo, website theme<\/a> to your blog articles etc.\u00a0<\/span>It\u2019s all there in one location, helping even beginners at all things computers\/technology run their own site.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are also \u201cthemes\u201d which give you super simple drag-and-drop<\/strong> page builders, so you can build awesome looking webpages without knowing how to code at all.<\/span><\/p>\n

Flexibility<\/b><\/h3>\n

For most budding website owners – there are usually a list of functionality that you want built into the site.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you want to have something to pop-up and get the information of people on your articles, get them to share or put your YouTube video on the site?<\/span><\/p>\n

Any \u201cfeatures\u201d you could ever want are available in the WordPress Marketplace<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span>All you have to do is download a \u201cplug-in\u201d that automatically sets your website up with new features.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can get free plug-ins for almost everything but there are also great paid solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n
