Building a WordPress website – advantages
If you have a business of any size, you must have a website. “If you’re not there, you don’t exist,” someone once said, and it’s a phrase that’s especially relevant to the world of marketing.
Today, every business has a website, and those who do not have an online presence not only miss out on customers but also send those who are looking for them straight into the arms of their competitors.
What is WordPress?
So why every business needs a website is already clear, and now the question arises on which platform it is worth building the site. The most popular platform (over 30% of all websites in the world – which means many millions of sites) is WordPress. Building a WordPress site means building a site with a convenient and easy-to-operate management system, a system that is based on open source, which means that there is a large community that develops the system and helps each other improve the system’s capabilities.
Here are some advantages of building websites on WordPress:
A simple and user-friendly content management system
The first and perhaps main advantage of WordPress is its simple and convenient management system.
You don’t need to learn programming or take long courses in website management. This is a user-friendly management system with an easy-to-understand and navigate management interface, so after a brief explanation you can add content to the site, add images, change settings, and do quite a bit on the site.
This is a system that is suitable for almost anyone, and all that is needed to work with it is a basic orientation to computers and the Internet.

Security updates
Hosting a WordPress website includes protecting the server where the website is stored, but the system itself also provides the appropriate security. WordPress has relatively frequent security updates, which means that the website can be protected from various cyber threats.
Beyond what WordPress provides, there are also plugins (which we will explain shortly) that can be installed to add additional layers of protection.
Additives
Remember we talked about a community that constantly develops the system?
So, among other things, it also takes care of more and more plugins. Plugins are a type of software that can be added specifically to each website, and there are plugins for every field and interest.
Each plugin takes care of a different function, and it can be a security plugin, an online store plugin, a plugin that helps promote the site (SEO), a plugin that can be used to create designed forms, a page design plugin, and tens of thousands of other plugins.
A significant portion of these plugins are free, and even those in their premium version are paid, still significantly cheaper than a programmer’s hour.
Design kits
Building a WordPress website also doesn’t require you to be a graphic designer.
There are a variety of designed templates that come ready to use, and switching between one and the other to change the appearance of the site is simple and in many cases does not even require any changes.
Here too, there are free design kits and there are paid design kits.
Organic promotion ( SEO )
Building websites in WordPress will allow you to promote your website on Google relatively easily compared to other systems. The Google search engine loves WordPress websites because they are clear to it and have various tools that allow the website owner to promote the website effectively.
Most website promoters in Israel and around the world recommend WordPress as the best website building system.
In conclusion
If you are faced with building a website, don’t settle for less than the best system, which means you have nothing to hesitate about – WordPress is the system you should use to build your business’s website.
Good luck to everyone,
