Yes, WordPress is the perfect platform for a Business Website.
WordPress is an open-source Content Management System with a large community of developers and supporters behind it. Currently, WordPress is used in approximately 32% of all websites, big and small. While WordPress got its start as a blogging platform, its flexibility led to wide scale use. Even large corporations such as Sony Music and The Walt Disney Company use WordPress as their website platform.
Here are the top 6 reasons you should use WordPress for a Business Website
- Easy Access – If you have access to an Internet browser, you have access to your WordPress website. This means you can login to your website from virtually anywhere. It’s mobile responsive dashboard allows you to manage your website at your home, office or while on the go.
- Flexible – With the use of plugins, you can do what ever you want to do with your WordPress website. Plugins are software that can extend the functionality of your WordPress website. They can be downloaded from the WordPress repository or purchased from a reputable developer. For example, the WooCommerce plugin can be added to your website to create an online shop or a BLOOM optin plugin can be added to encourage newsletter signups on your site.
- Easy to Add Content – No need to learn html or know coding. Using the WordPress Code editor, any novice can add content to their website. If you are comfortable using a word processing programming, you should have no trouble using the text editor in WordPress.
- No Problem Adding Multiple Users – You can assign multiple users to add content to your website. Each user can be assigned a different role depending on their need. Not everyone needs to be a admin, so keep admin access to a minimum.
- Not Committed to One Hosting Provider – WordPress website files are portable. They can be zipped up and moved to a new web hosting provider whenever the need arises. Unlike sites such as Wix which do not allow you to download your content and move it elsewhere, you are not stuck with one hosting option. WordPress does require that you purchase web hosting separately, but this is to your benefit since you should always be in complete control over your businesses’ most valuable asset, your website.
- Become Part of a Large Community of WordPress Users – Because WordPress is so widely used, it is easy to find support groups or help when you need it. The WordPress community includes innovative developers looking to make improvements to WordPress. There are also local WordCamps and WordPressTV where you can learn everything and anything you want to know about WordPress.
While WordPress is the perfect platform for small business and large businesses, it is essential to make sure everything is set up correctly so your business website will properly show up in website results. You will also want to make sure it has the proper security and backup software installed.
