Building a WordPress website
“The World” has been wanting to build its website on WordPress for the past few years.
If so, what happened to all the common website building platforms that disappeared from the map?
Joomla, Drupal and the like, where have they gone?
The main reasons for the WordPress system taking over the website building market:
1. There is a demand for an open source system, independent of a closed source website building provider.
2. There is a demand for a system with a roadmap and consistent version upgrades.
3. There is a demand for simplicity and the ability to add functions/plugins/extensions to the website relatively easily.
4. Ability to easily choose a theme/design for a WordPress website.
5. An independent content management system in any language, including Hebrew of course.
* It turns out that the WordPress website building system provides all of the above.
What does a WordPress website building system provide:
Building a WordPress website is done on an open source system that can be copied from server to server relatively easily.
It is not up to the person who built the site to keep the closed source code.
The website belongs to the website owner and he can move it wherever he wants.
In addition, the WordPress system is updated consistently and frequently to prevent security breaches, advanced functionality, and the like.
Additionally, WordPress will give you the ability to add functions to your website easily and quickly through thousands of plugins for almost every need, such as:
Shopping cart
SEO website promotion improvement system
Inventory management systems and more.
WordPress also has flexibility when it comes to website design through many different themes.
Additional benefits of building a WordPress website:
Building websites today will give you a crazy content management system that is easy to operate, reliable, and stable.
A WordPress website can be maintained relatively easily and there is a lot of information on the Internet on the subject.
WordPress has security plugins that protect your website.
Also, the innovative and spectacular design of WordPress websites that have been invested in cannot be ignored.
You’d be surprised, but there are huge leading websites that are built on WordPress, such as the New York Times and BBC, and more…
Disadvantages of building a WordPress website:
- This excellent system called WordPress also has disadvantages.
The fact that so many websites are built on this platform gives hackers the incentive to develop tools to hack WordPress.
This way, hackers could break into many websites.
In fact, this is what actually happens.
2. Another disadvantage stems from not upgrading versions over time.
Failure to upgrade versions for too long may lead to problems in maintaining product integrity, both in terms of security and functionality.
3. WordPress gobbles up resources, so the site is sometimes slow and does not respond as quickly as is appropriate for a good browsing experience.
Especially the Woocommerce plugin, which gobbles up processing power and memory – RAM.
4. Changing a domain to a WordPress site requires tinkering with the system and reconfiguring the domain.
What can be done to overcome the above disadvantages of the WordPress website building system:
- Install a good security plugin, for example Wordfance, preferably a paid version.
- Perform system updates regularly.
- Sit on a powerful server that has plenty of RAM resources and adequate CPU processing power for fast and optimal performance.
- Usually, a professional hosting company that knows WordPress will do this for you, sometimes for a nominal additional fee.
