Why WordPress?Â
Your website should be a marketing asset, not another server you manage
When you think of WordPress, you probably think about blogging.
Although WordPress was initially designed as a blog platform, it's evolved into so much more than that. Now you can use WordPress to build a gorgeous website and employ a powerful content management system (CMS).Â
Whether you're building an MSP for the first time or looking for a new platform, WordPress is the way to go for seamless development. Let's take a look at eleven reasons you should use WordPress for your MSP.
Flexibility and Adaptability
Your WordPress site can become anything you want it to be. Website owners have used the platform to create business websites, portfolios, online stores, forums, eLearning modules, non-profit donation collections sites, business directories, knowledge bases, and more.
If you have an idea in mind for a multi-functional website, you can bring it to life with WordPress.
Open Source Software
WordPress is an open-source software crafted by a variety of contributors. Like most open-source platforms, the basic WordPress software is free, but you'll have to pay for web hosting.Â
You Have Full Control
Another perk of WordPress's open-source configuration is that it gives you complete control over your website, unlike many other website builders. The best part is that you don't have to be a coding genius to customize your site. With a few clicks, you can play around with everything from fonts to color palettes to widgets to menus. And if you are a coding wiz, implementing code snippets is a breeze with WordPress.
WordPress also gives you the advantage of not relying on anyone else to update your site. The system is so easy to use that you can make changes yourself.
User-Friendliness
WordPress is easy to use for beginners and experts alike. The platform is intuitive, so you can set up new pages, add blog posts, or swap out images within seconds. Say goodbye to getting frustrated over formatting.
Themes Offer Multiple Options
If you want to work off a template, WordPress offers over 90 themes to serve as a jumping-off point. This feature is beneficial for first-time site builders.
Extensive Functionality with Plugins
You can harness advanced features with WordPress plugins. Plugins enable everything from contact forms to analytics to customer profile creation.
Mobile Responsiveness
Modern consumers need to be able to look at your website on their mobile phones. WordPress streamlines the process of making your site mobile-friendly for your customers on the go.
Higher SEO Rankings
WordPress sites often rank higher than websites created through other platforms. Using the software helps boost your rankings and increases people's chance to discover your page.
Huge Community Support Network
Because WordPress is an open-source software, it comes with a massive support network and community. Since so many people have used WordPress, users have access to numerous blogs, forums, online courses, seminars, webinars, and books on the system.
High-Level Security
Especially if you collect sensitive information from your clients, you need to know that your website is secure. WordPress was built with security in mind, making it an extremely safe option for building your website.
Your Blog is Built-in and Ready to Go
Since the platform was initially built for blogging, you can instantly start blogging on your new website if you want. Additionally, you can seamlessly add in RSS/email subscription options, commenting capabilities, and post spotlights.
