Why Choose WordPress?

WordPress is the most popular site builder and CMS (Content Management System) platform on the planet, powering more than 33% of all websites on the internet. What started out as an online blogging platform in 2003 has now evolved into a powerful CMS and application development framework. 

WordPress Site Cost

Unlike Wix, Weebly, and SquareSpace, WordPress is a 100% free, open-source software. While the core of the software is free, how much you actually spend on your WordPress website depends largely on the size of your WordPress website and the scope of your design.

Like all websites, you will need to register a domain name and web hosting.

Easily Customizable

WordPress is known for being easily customizable even by those who don’t have design or programming experience. Since WordPress is open source, you have access to thousands of free and premium custom WordPress themes and custom WordPress plugins.

For non-developers, WordPress offers thousands of free templates that are mobile-responsive and appropriate for whatever industry you operate in.

Similarly, there are hundreds of free and premium WordPress plugin and functionalities to add custom features to your WordPress site. Between the hundreds of template options, the easy-to-use interface, and WordPress admin panel, you don’t need development experience to make your WordPress site as unique as your business.

WordPress has a large market share — 60% of all CMS. If you’re having an issue or needing questions answered, WordPress Support and Developer Forums can help. 

Security & WordPress Plugins

As an online business owner, keeping your customers and website safe from hackers and data thieves needs to be a top priority. WordPress is constantly updating their software to prevent data breaches and keep your personal information safe. These software updates are automatic, in an effort to keep your website secure, and you can choose whether you want your own WordPress plugins to update automatically as well.

FAQ - WordPress
Development

WordPress website development is buying, customizing and maintaining a domain for a particular website. It also means organizing every aspect that goes into creating and implementing a website: choosing a host, a domain name, WordPress theme, content, and the plugins you need. 

While the startup process has an end, subsequent maintenance doesn’t.

In short, WordPress development prioritizes streamlining all the elements you need for a strong presence on the Internet. It also means constantly updating and maintaining the website. If you don’t pay for the domain name or your server, then the page goes down. No page means no Internet presence, and frustrated customers as a result.

There are thousands of free WordPress themes available for your website. With convenient filters, you can pick the perfect design that fits your needs. The one thing that makes WordPress so user-friendly is its ability to be tailored for any individual.

Yes, to at least know the basics. The reason why dozens of stores use WordPress is that it has a user-friendly interface, a low learning curve, and many customization options.

WordPress provides dozens of free templates that you can use for your website storefront or blog. This takes away the learning curve of needing to code or implement graphic design. You can implement WordPress plugins to track visitors. The blog option allows you to create, schedule and post custom content without needing to edit in code constantly. In fact, the basic blog is easy to use and comes with formatting so that you can add italics, links, and videos even.

If you want to go into more complicated aspects, such as directly editing Javascript or PHP, then WordPress becomes more difficult. You can keep it simple, or leave it to the experts for more advanced features.

When it comes to learning WordPress, you have a lot of options.

You can easily learn the basics in just one or two hours but becoming an entry level professional will take much longer than that and involve classes, books podcasts blogs etc.

WordPress theme development is a competitive market and many individuals are fighting for their marketing share.

If you decide to develop or sell themes, it’s important that understand how the industry works because there will be other companies trying just as hard.

Technically, it costs nothing to use WordPress. Creating a domain name with “WordPress” as part of the URL means that you won’t even have to pay for the domain name. This is the basic level, on the level with student blogs and such. There are even free plug-ins you can use if you want to avoid paid ones. 

You may want to spend money to purchase your domain name and attach it to the WordPress host. Or you may want to pay for web development, for another site to manage the server itself and the nuts and bolts. In short, costs can run the gamut if you want to pay, so it’s best to set your budget ahead of time.

There are flat fees and recurring costs. Flat fees can include doing audits, and offering to redesign a website; these can run up to $1600. 

A domain name can cost between five and twenty dollars annually while using an external company to manage the site can cost up to several hundred dollars a year. If you want to add extra features, like more space for hosting, marketing services and such, then costs increase. If you want to use your site for eCommerce, then you need an SSL certificate to ensure that customer data transfers safely, without being exposed to potential hackers.

There are four coding languages that WordPress uses and two solely for programming: PHP and Javascript. While you don’t need to learn coding or programming languages necessarily, it can be a good tool on hand.

You may recognize Javascript from when you click on pop-ups or videos; it helps run your browsers. Javascript also increases interactions between website visitors and the site itself. It serves as a neural network of sorts.

PHP is the programming language that runs servers. WordPress practically runs on PHP, which is its backbone and spine. It automatically will convert your webpages into HTML and set that as the coding default. Knowing it is like knowing the anatomy of the human body when you’re a doctor or nurse. 

If you learn WordPress development languages you can edit WordPress database and create WordPress plugins. When you start using your coding skills, you can serve as a WordPress developer. In order to be a plugin development expert you should learn these programming languages.

No, unless you want to modify the backdoor. By that, I mean changing the HTML elements directly, rather than working with the automatic blog format. Alternatively, you can learn about the programming languages discussed above.

HTML is a good starting place. It is the coding language that can determine colors for backgrounds and font, text size, and text type. You can also use it to designate website headers and footers. Most websites use HTML for their elements, so you can transfer the skills to other domains.

Specializing with experts means that you don’t necessarily need to follow this step, since learning HTML can take time. Even though there are free resources like Coding Camp, you have to keep learning since it’s like learning a foreign language. People who specialize in HTML can save you time in learning the code and can prevent any website frustrations.
