Do web agencies use WordPress?
Why agencies back WordPress as a CMS
As one of the most popular content management systems (CMS), WordPress is used by a range of businesses, including web agencies.
They use the platform because it is easy to use and allows them to create websites quickly and efficiently. Not just for their own business – but as a shop window to impress potential clients, too.
Also, WordPress is an agile offering, with lots of plugins and themes available to customise a website, to meet the specific needs of a client.
But, most importantly of all, if a web agency has built their own site in WordPress, it means they understand and trust this CMS to really deliver online results for them – and for you.
Why WordPress is a popular choice for web agencies
As WordPress continues to grow in popularity, it now accounts for 43% of websites, it does appear as if more web agencies are using the platform to build websites.
Not only is WordPress easy to use and has a wide range of features, but it’s also an ideal choice for web designers wanting to impress a client who wants a stylish and responsive website.
It helps that the platform has many plugins, which are small programs that add functionality, and themes, which are the site’s ‘face’, available and these can be used to customise a website to meet the specific needs of a client.
Put simply, WordPress is a popular choice for web agencies for:
- Ease of use
- Enables them to create websites quickly and efficiently
- Plugins boost effectiveness
- Themes can change the look and style of the site easily
- WordPress is frequently updated with the latest features and security patches.
The bottom line for anyone asking whether web agencies use WordPress – such as XIST2 – is yes, because the CMS makes it a reliable and secure platform for businesses – ANY business – to use.
How WordPress can be customised to meet the specific needs of a client
Not only will experienced web agencies understand how to create sites using WordPress – but how to create a site to impress.
They can use designers to generate a unique look for your site but there are a huge number of themes available to make customisation a cinch.
However, the biggest attraction of using WordPress is that the process to create a custom website from scratch has been simplified.
It is this flexibility that makes WordPress an ideal choice for businesses and web developers who want a site that is tailored to their specific needs.
The advantages of using WordPress over other content management systems
There are several advantages to using WordPress over other content management systems.
We’ve mentioned already that WordPress is a great way to create websites quickly and efficiently, and that the plugins and themes make it easy to deliver a unique website that meets a business’s needs.
But it is also a reliable and secure platform for businesses to use.
And there are thousands of developers beavering away around the world to make WordPress better – it is continually being developed.
As a CMS, WordPress is the best platform – which is why so many household names also use it! Check out the sites for PlayStation and Beyonce to see what this platform is capable of.
