\nAfter its earliest inception in 2003, WordPress quickly took over the internet, and only six years later in 2009 was concluded to have the best brand strength of all open-source content management systems by the Open Source CMS MarketShare Report.
\nNot to be confused with WordPress.com, the personal publishing system counterpart, the software package free to download from WordPress.org is a fully-fledged CMS that can be coded in absolutely any way you want. It\u2019s now successfully shaken off its misinformed reputation of being only \u2018blog\u2019 software.\n<\/p>\n
\nAs of early 2017, it\u2019s known that 58.7% of all websites, whose CMS are known, are powered by WordPress \u2013 no mean feat.\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nHere, we\u2019re going to list just how exactly WordPress has gone from strength to strength, its best features and its testimonials, to convince any of you who may be doubting that WordPress is the CMS you should be using for your site.<\/p>\n
Since so much of the internet is based on WordPress, it\u2019s integral for developers to know how it functions. You can safely assume that 99% of all professional developers (and equally as many hobby\/amateur ones) know their way around WordPress software. \nYou don\u2019t have to be a coding prodigy to pick up where your original developer left off. With your template in place, you can easily work out how to add posts and tweak your site. What\u2019s more is that if you ever need to hire a different developer from the first, they\u2019ll be able to read the code and work from it much better than if it had been hand-written.\n<\/p>\n \nThere\u2019s a ton of YouTube videos, guides and online courses available to train you up in WordPress should you want to learn a new skill yourself. It\u2019s an insanely useful thing to know and you can learn as and when you like \u2013 why not make it a New Year\u2019s Resolution?\n<\/p>\n \nThis is a huge point that many people raise when sceptical about using WordPress to build their site. However, Automattic, the company who own WordPress, state that they employ over 25 people whose sole job is to keep the system tightly secure from hacks and viruses. \nThe latest Google algorithms value new and original content, which they put straight to the top of search engine results. WordPress makes it easy to add content whenever and however you like, and supports hundreds of (free) plug-ins that help developers in optimizing SEO.\n<\/p>\n \nWordPress knows that most websites are viewed via mobile these days; its sites are completely and instantly mobile-ready, configured for the best view on any device. This includes tablets and any phone software too. WordPress is totally responsive and up-to-date with the times.\n<\/p>\n \nSomehow, this godsend software is still open-source and free for anyone to use. Where\u2019s the catch, you ask? There has, amazingly, never been one. \nThere are plenty more reasons why WordPress<\/a> is the web\u2019s go-to CMS, but we hope we\u2019ve dispelled a few myths here. The most important point remains that WordPress is the most user-friendly platform after it\u2019s been initially coded by a developer, to make sure your site is water-tight secure, and its design is in place. After this, ultimate flexibility is yours.
