Why You Should Build Your Website with WordPress

Here at Diace Designs, we love to build websites using WordPress—and so do millions of other people. According to Forbes, it is “the most popular [content management system] in the world and is used by nearly 75 million websites.” WordPress is software that allows you to create a website, blog, or app with minimal cost and maximum creative flexibility. You don’t need to download an application to use WordPress; you can use the software to build and maintain a website right within your web browser.

There are so many reasons why you should build your website with WordPress, but the top two reasons are: it’s easy to use, and it allows you to build highly-customized websites.

WordPress is User-Friendly

The WordPress mission is to provide “software designed for everyone, emphasizing accessibility, performance, security, and ease of use.” This “ease of use” is the number one reason why you should use this software. In today’s fast-paced world, it is critical that companies have access to their own website content. Updating basic information about your organization should never require you to call a developer. Even the most complex sites we’ve created with WordPress are easy for our clients to update thanks to the user-friendly WordPress interface.

WordPress is Flexible

WordPress websites can be as simple or as elaborate as you’d like. The open-source software never locks you into a template. There are minimal limitations to the design of WordPress websites; if you can code it, then you can build it. (And if you can’t code it, you can usually find a plugin that will get the job done for you.)

But WordPress is flexible in more than just design. It also allows for highly-customized functionality and integration. Take for example a landing page the Diace team created for a client. We built the landing page to capture lead data for our client’s sales team, send it to our client’s CRM system, and then assign it to the appropriate sales pipeline. This integrated functionality saved our client precious time and resources when they had none to spare.

Thanks to the user-friendly interface and the flexibility of the software, you can create a simple WordPress website yourself. If you’d like to have a professional design or advanced functionality built into your site, contact us. We love to create websites with WordPress!
