What is WordPress?
WordPress is one of the most powerful content managed systems (CMS) available. Around 1 in 4 websites on the web are built using WordPress. The beauty is that once built you can manage the content yourself without the need for a developer. You can create and manage blog posts, pages and any new content yourself without any knowledge of code or programming.
WordPress is used by individuals as well as big businesses, and everyone in between. Its popularity has risen since 2003 due to the ability to add plugins and themes to personalise your website. It was originally built as a blogging platform but over the last few years has become much more than that and is now used for all types of websites.
You can also integrate WooCommerce with WordPress. This allows you to have your own online store and sell your products worldwide with ease. You can add, edit and delete your products anywhere at anytime. In fact, there are a lot of plugins already written for WordPress, so should you wish to extend your functionality you can normally do so very easily.
WordPress sites are SEO friendly out of the box which means you can work your way to the top of Google with some good content. While we do recommend some extra security steps with WordPress it is a secure platform, constantly updated to patch any vulnerabilities.
