What is WordPress?

Wordpress is an open-source publishing platform popular with bloggers and a content management system. The appearance of a Wordpress site and many of its functions are managed through themes, and further customizable through altering code, though altering code is not required; templates and plugins to expand its capabilities are plentiful. Wordpress features integrated link management, and a search-engine friendly permalink structure. WordPress now allows multiple blogs to exist within one installation. Websites may host their own blogging communities, controlling and moderating content from a single dashboard.

Wordpress is popular due to its simplicity and modifiability. Furthermore implementing Wordpress costs only time. Two paid versions exist. The $99 premium plan allows a user an ad free custom domain with 13GB of space and advanced customization. The $299 Business plan allows unlimited space and supports eCommerce as well.

I feel like WordPress is great for a mix of experience levels. It does require some basic knowledge of management programs, but with some assistance in getting it set up and a tutorial of how to navigate it, I personally prefer WordPress over any of the other tools that limit your ability to customize and change things, like Squarespace or GoDaddy's builder. For folks without the ability to be trained, it might not make sense to use, as there could be a large learning curve. For us Millennials, blogging was our jam in the early 2000's with LiveJournal and Blogger. That prepared us well for a world where WordPress can do more than simply act as a blog.

A world of functionality, all available on one backbone web builder.

WordPress is super customizable which makes it perfect for any type or style of website. Although, this is also an invitation to get lost in the small details of your site. Building a site in WordPress is also fast - If you can stay focused on the most important aspects of your site, you'll have it up and running in no time.

Great!

Wordpress is super easy to use and update your website. Creating the CRM has been more challenging, but will be worth it. I also really wish Wordpress had a better chat or support feature to guide me through basic updates or changes I'd like to make so I don't have to ask our web developer for help. Wordpress integrations are also great.

Best site builder out there..

WordPress websites is well suited for sites like: - Blogs, Content Publishing, Small to Medium Business, Informational Websites, Non-profits, Informational and Non-profits webistes. Conversely, there are scenarios where WordPress might be less appropriate - Highly Customized Web Applications, Large-scale Enterprise Solutions, and Specialized E-commerce Platforms with over 2000 products listed.

I have used several web platforms, and WordPress is by far my favorite. With all of the customization options, it was a must have for our more complex store platform. I love the ability to add plug ins to give a plethora of capabilities from customizable shipping options, to customizable cart options, to everything between!
