There are so many good website builders out there, but is WordPress the best?
WordPress gives you limitless design and integration capabilities at a lower cost.
Why Choose WordPress?
At Mura Digital, we’ve been providing WordPress website support and SEO services for local businesses for years.
The reason we choose to build on WordPress is simple – we want to empower our clients. WordPress websites give you the flexibility of an entirely custom, SEO optimized website while still having a useable interface that can be transferred between agencies or individual people.
It's The Most Popular Website Builder In The World
WordPress is a popular website builder that has many advantages. In fact, about “43% of all websites on the internet are built on WordPress” according to Colorlib Statistics.
Relatively Easy To Navigate
WordPress as a platform offers a simple way to build a website and with less manual coding. There’s still a big learning curve and many times some “pay walls” to achieve certain designs.
The Integrations Are Endless
There's Always A Catch...
To really get a fully customized WordPress website you need certain skills, the help of expensive software subscriptions and even some web development and hosting experience.
This sounds like a lot because, well, it kind of is.
Save Yourself Time & Money
We always recommend hiring a professional WordPress designer.
Doing this allows you to leverage their premium designs and plugins so you get a fully customized website. On top of that, it’s all done for you (correctly) in a fraction of the time and you remain on a platform simple enough for you to take over if you ever need to cut ties with your developer, for whatever reason.
Maintaining Ownership Of Your Website
In our opinion – this reason wins the decision right here. WordPress has user credential management so you can create other users that can edit your website, like your web developer. You can create new users and delete old users whenever you want.
We have met far too many business owners that have lost ownership or control of their website to some shady website company.
If setup correctly, WordPress solves that problem.
Our Final Thoughts On WordPress
At Mura Digital, we have always been supportive of ownership rights over your own website and the intellectual property you purchase.
We build our websites on WordPress because it’s a platform that’s simple enough to ‘hand over the keys’ if our client ever needs to part ways with us.
Now, we’re not saying you should make updates to design elements of your site or make changes that you don’t know how to reverse (some are irreversible). But we are saying that you should have your own user credentials, be able to delete your old developer’s credentials and create new ones for the next developer you work with.
WordPress is a great option that even most professionals are building on today (including us).
If you’re looking to build a site yourself, it’s a great option. If you’re looking to have a website professionally built – it’s the best option.
