Why We Develop Websites On WordPress

WordPress is the world’s most popular blogging and content management system (CMS). WordPress powers a third of all websites on the internet, and it is widely used by leading brands such as Sony, Disney, and Facebook. WordPress is our platform of choice for a number of reasons:

WordPress readily lends itself to search engine optimisation (SEO). It is SEO friendly out of the box, allowing you to inform search engines about your content through meta descriptions and title tags and sitemaps that are automatically generated to boost your rankings and index your page.

It has been an open source platform since 2003, meaning that it continues to be developed by a group of contributors. Beware of becoming tied into a proprietary CMS platform, as you don’t technically have full ownership of your site and content. 
This means that you’re effectively renting your website, so when your subscription or payment plan stops, your files and pages belong to the company or will be lost entirely. With a WordPress site, the files are your property, and can be migrated to other hosts.

It provides a solid foundation for bespoke development satisfying both simple and complex requirements. Although WordPress was initially developed as a blogging platform, numerous updates over the years mean that blogs, forums, ecommerce sites, job boards, knowledge bases and more can be created using WordPress. 
This also means that WordPress has an excellent range of tools and plugins to assist you in your content marketing efforts, with quick and simple tools to write up and publish posts.

It has a great user interface which is intuitive and easy to learn. WordPress is customisable and flexible, and its basic functionality doesn’t require years of technical skills to get to grips with. 
In the days before WordPress, an in-depth understanding of CSS, compliance standards, and HTML coding was essential to building effective websites. WordPress is designed to be straightforward to use, with layers of plugins and themes available to those who want to get more technical.

There is a huge developer community that surrounds and supports future WordPress development. This means there are always new features being developed and our in house support team can help deal with any issues that pop up. In addition, the majority of our websites are hosted through WPEngine, which uses Google Cloud to store data. Google aims to run their business on carbon-free energy everywhere, at all times, by 2030.
