Is WordPress the Right CMS Choice?
When it comes to working on a project with one of the most popular content management systems in the world, WordPress, there are two different paths you can take. The first option is to use a pre-built WordPress theme, while the second is to go for a custom WordPress theme design. Each of these paths comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages, which I’ve discussed in detail in the WordPress Development section.
Why Choose WordPress?
What are the benefits of using WordPress? Why should we choose WordPress? Here are some features offered by WordPress, a globally renowned open-source content management system:
- Ease of Use: Tasks like updating sites, adding new pages and posts, updating existing ones, and managing comments can all be done easily through a user-friendly interface.
- Advantages: WordPress stands out as a platform that is user-friendly, flexible, SEO-friendly, secure, and fast. With thousands of plugins available, it can be easily customized to fit your needs.
- Speed Advantage: A well-structured and optimized site can run at high speeds thanks to clean code. Speed is crucial for both user experience and search engine rankings.
- SEO-Friendly Websites: WordPress is a platform that continuously updates to meet the current requirements of Google and other search engines. When configured correctly, these sites rank higher in search results.
- Security: By nature, WordPress is a secure platform. However, the themes and plugins you add are also important for security and should be chosen carefully. At this point, working with an experienced WordPress expert can significantly impact your project’s success and reliability in the short and medium term.
- Cost-Effective: Compared to custom software, WordPress is quite cost-effective. Its open-source structure allows the project to progress without being tied to a single developer.
When it comes to WordPress consultancy, I can offer you the following services:
If you’re thinking of starting a new WordPress site or transitioning to WordPress, I can help you explore the best options for your site before starting the design and development process. This early evaluation can save you both time and money in the long run.
Before you begin working with a design agency, you can discuss your website’s requirements with me. I can help you plan functionality, explore various options, and create a clear and structured brief for your new website project.
At this stage of the project, you need to consider much more than just how your website will look. Planning the creation or migration of a website takes time. Failing to plan your site properly can result in a great-looking site that doesn’t work as it should.
I also recommend avoiding pre-built themes and plugins as much as possible.
With niche digital services now often offered by smaller agencies or freelancers, having a comprehensive plan for action, content, functionality, and SEO is more important than ever.
