Out of all platforms available to build websites, we choose WordPress for designing websites. Here’s why…
WordPress is the biggest.
Hands down, WordPress is the largest content management system powering websites. With it being the largest, there are so many resources available to continually learn about the platform. A big chunk of the websites in the market published today are powered by WordPress. It’s no wonder that most of our new clients needing our content marketing implementation services already have a WordPress site.
WordPress is highly flexible.
WordPress is an open-source platform which means that it is highly flexible. Skilled programmers create free and/or paid versions of themes and plugins specifically for the WordPress platform. This makes it much easier for us, non-programmers, to create a beautifully designed and well-functioning website without the cumbersome coding.
WordPress is where we have experience.
From the creation of Scrivener Solutions, we decided to build our website on WordPress because of the reasons above. Over the years, we’ve gained quite a bit of experience in the platform. We have helped many clients with their WordPress sites, figuring out solutions as problems arise.
Our primary service offering is implementing our clients’ content marketing plan, we rarely take on one-off website design projects. However, we have been known to design some websites from the ground up. If we accept a one-off website design project, we will design it in WordPress because it’s a no-brainer… it’s what we know and have the most experience with. For us to better serve our clients, we use the systems we know best.
There are plenty of content management systems (CMS) like WordPress, SquareSpace, Wix, Weebly, etc. with user-friendly interfaces so we may avoid complicated HTML coding. That means that it’s easier than ever for anyone to build their own website. This is FANTASTIC! As a coach or consultant, if you’re building your own website, our advice is to go with what feels right to you. It’ll be the system that makes the most sense to you. When you are ready to invest in delegating website design duties, you’ll find the professional most familiar with the platform you chose.
