Are you wondering why you should use WordPress for your website? Why would you ever switch to WordPress from another platform?<\/p>\n
WordPress is much more than just a blogging platform. Although WordPress was originally designed as a blogging tool, it has evolved over time into a powerful website builder and robust content management system (CMS). However, the main reason why WordPress has become so popular is its ease of use and flexibility to build different types of websites.<\/p>\n
According to a recent survey, WordPress powers 43% of all websites on the Internet. It's also used by many top brands to power their websites: Time Magazine,\u00a0 Facebook, The New Yorker, Sony, Disney, Target, The New York Times and more.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
1. WordPress is completely free<\/h4>\n
WordPress is free software. This means you can download, install, use and modify it to suit your needs for free. You can create any website with it. Although the WordPress software itself is free, you need a domain name and web hosting to install it.<\/p>\n
Domain name<\/strong> is the address of your website on the Internet. This is what your users type into their browser's address bar to access your website (for example, wpbeginner.com).<\/p>\nWeb hosting<\/strong> it is like your website house where all your website files are stored.<\/p>\n2. WordPress is easy to use<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n
Although WordPress is the most flexible and powerful platform, it is quite easy to use. It comes with a simple control panel with various menu options listed in the sidebar. You can easily create posts and pages, customize your website design, add navigation menus and more.<\/p>\n
WordPress regularly releases core WordPress updates that you can install with the click of a button. The same goes for WordPress plugins and themes that release their own updates.<\/p>\n
Finally, there is security. With some basic security best practices, you can make your website even more secure.<\/p>\n
3. WordPress is fully customizable<\/h4>\n
WordPress is the perfect solution as you can choose from thousands of different website templates (themes). There is a perfect WordPress theme for almost any website (be it a blog, business site or online store). WordPress themes can be completely customized to your wishes and needs.<\/p>\n
You can also add custom functionality to your WordPress site using plugins. WordPress plugins are like apps for your website that you can use to add advanced features like analytics, contact forms, calendars, and more. Just like themes, there are thousands of premium plugins available for you to use. In addition to adding additional functionality, some WordPress plugins can allow you to transform your website into a completely new platform.<\/p>\n
There are a few essential WordPress plugins we recommend for any website: a contact form plugin so your visitors can contact you; analytics plugin so you can see how many visitors you get; search engine optimization plugin so you can get more traffic from google.<\/p>\n
4. WordPress is SEO friendly<\/h4>\n
WordPress is written using high-quality code with semantic tags. This means that Google and other search engines love WordPress. This is why WordPress sites tend to rank higher in search engines than others.<\/p>\n
5. WordPress is secure<\/h4>\n
WordPress is developed with security in mind and is a very secure platform for running a website. But there's still a lot that can be done to make your website even more secure from hackers, malware, and other threats.<\/p>\n
6. WordPress will be around for a long time<\/h4>\n
Open source software is much more likely to be around for a very long time because it is not maintained by just one person or company. Even if WordPress goes away, anyone can easily fork its code and run it under a different name within minutes. One of the lesser known facts about WordPress is that it does not have a CEO. The WordPress name is protected by the WordPress Foundation, a non-profit organization that ensures WordPress continues to grow. Behind WordPress is a strong community of thousands of users, developers and small businesses.<\/p>\n
WordPress is used by millions of users worldwide. It is available in more than 53 languages and also supports thousands of multilingual websites.<\/p>\n
