At the time of writing this post, and most likely for the years to come, WordPress remains at the top of the list of the most widely used platforms for building websites. It has not earned the title “king” of the web space for nothing. The list of benefits that come with using this CMS — Content Management System — is long. Here are some of them.
WordPress is free software. This means you can freely download it, install it, use it, and modify it to suit your needs. You can use it to create any type of website.
While the WordPress software itself is free, you need a domain and web hosting in order to install it. For this purpose, take a look at our basic hosting packages, which are optimized for WordPress.
A domain is the address of your website on the internet — what your users type into the address bar of their browser to access your website, for example, zemi.mk.
Web hosting, on the other hand, is server space available 24/7, where all the files and databases of your website are stored.
Although it is one of the most flexible and powerful platforms, WordPress is quite easy for beginners to use.
It comes with a simple dashboard with different options listed in the sidebar. You can easily create posts and pages, change the appearance of your website, add navigation menus, and much more.
- WordPress can be fully adapted to your needs
Most WordPress users are neither web designers nor programmers. In fact, most people start using WordPress without any previous technical background.
WordPress is the perfect solution for beginners because it offers thousands of free themes — ready-made designs for your website — to choose from. There is a perfect WordPress theme for almost every type of website, whether it is a blog, corporate website, or online store.
WordPress themes are easy to customize because many of them come with their own options panel, allowing you to change colors, upload your logo, change the background, create beautiful sliders, and truly adapt the design to your needs without writing any code at all.
WordPress is seriously developed with the security of your website in mind.
However, there are many plugins that can further increase the security of websites built with WordPress, such as Wordfence, Sucuri, and others.
Behind WordPress stands a strong community of thousands of users, developers, and small businesses. As a community, they all ensure that WordPress is here to stay for the long term.
