Why do we use WordPress to build websites?
There are numerous reasons why WordPress is the perfect choice for integrating into a website including:
- Ease of use for clients
- Intuitive to develop with
- Security
- Backups
- Scalability
- No restrictions
Below we will go into each of these in a little more detail.
A CMS (Content Management System) MUST be easy for you to use.
If it’s not then then:
- You’ll end up on the phone to us continuously and will, well…fucking hate us.
- Stop engaging with your website altogether.
Your website becomes a headache, content is stale and more often then not the website will be scrapped and a new one will be built.
Fortunately WordPress allows us to build a highly intuitive CMS.
Absolutely no technical knowledge required whatsoever, just the ability to use a mouse and keyboard.
Intuitive to develop with
Selfish alert! But, a CMS MUST be flexible for us as developers to use.
What it means for you
Clients always ask us what their website can or can’t do, how their website might look.
With our vast WordPress experience we can make it do absolutely anything that you want it to do and look any way you want it to look.
Zero restrictions.
That could be a shop, a one page site, a blog, a portfolio or a highly complex bespoke piece of functionality that we’ve never heard of yet.
Having invested numerous years in development terms using WordPress, we know how to get the best out of it.
Security
WordPress like any other CMS (Content Management System) requires occasional updates.
These updates protect your website and are very helpfully flagged up when you login to your CMS.
All of our clients are on a monthly update schedule, so you can relax knowing your website is secure, your visitors are fully protected and the functionality of your website is maintained.
Zero headaches, just peace of mind guaranteed.
Backups
A successful backup strategy is vital to any online presence.
You want to be 100% certain that when you are investing your time in creating content for your site, that your content will always be available.
If things do go wrong, which is extremely rare, a backup gives you the peace of mind that you can restore everything.
WordPress offers a vast range of backup strategies and your host may also as part of a managed WordPress solution offer backups too.
The key message is that your data is safe when you are entering it into WordPress.
Scalability
A WordPress website will grow alongside your business if necessary.
It works just as well with small websites as it does for large sites with hundreds of pages.
So you’ll never need to replace WordPress, just extend it.
We see scalabilty as covering three main areas:
- Content growthWordPress manages large amounts of content with ease.No restrictions on the amount of pages, blog posts or case studies that you can add and this never affects the performance of your websites.
- New featuresAfter your website goes live, your needs can evolve.You might need a booking system, membership functionalty of a shop.These can easily be introduced without disrupting the existing site.
- Performance and trafficWith a modern hosting solution that uses caching and optimisation, WordPress powers some of the worlds largest websites and can do exactly the same for your business too.
In summary, you don’t need to do anything drastic as your needs inevitably change. WordPress will easily grow with you.
No Restrictions
Completely flexible content insted of rigid templates
For our clients who want a website refreshed, one of their biggest issues with their existing website is the lack of flexibility.
When we think of templates we think of pre-defined layouts.
So when a client wants to do something even slightly different, they can’t.
Our approach is to create a series of flexible LEGO like content blocks.
Use them in any order that you like.
Need to rearrange them, just drag them around with your mouse.
Now if you happen to create a layout for say a case study page that you really like and want to reuse that layout for all your case studies, you can simply duplicate that page and edit the content.
Whilst we want to have an ongoing relationship with you, we never expect you to contact us about something that you are not able to do.
