With over 75 million WordPress websites on the internet as of December 2016*, why is WordPress so popular?
USER FRIENDLY EDITING
Once your site is professionally built out using WordPress, its backend is very user-friendly. By that I mean that if you want to add new content or images to the site, you can most likely, easily do it.
ACCESSIBLE FROM ANYWHERE
You can manage your website from any computer.
LOVED BY SEARCH ENGINES
The WordPress software caters to search engines. This is a huge reason why WordPress is easily the most popular Content Management System software on the internet.
ALLOWS YOUR WEBSITE TO BE CUSTOMIZED
You are not held captive to a certain ‘template’. You can customize your website to look and function the way you need it to!
EASILY EXPANDABLE
As your company grows, your website can too. New information, functionality and pages can be added at anytime.
ALLOWS YOU TO OWN YOUR WEBSITE
This is a big one! Don’t build years of search engine ranking, only to be held captive by your web building/hosting company. Many quick fix website builders, such as Wix, do not allow you to take your website with you if you ever leave Wix. Your WordPress website is yours for the taking, and you have full control.
