WordPress Features That Make Website Development Simple
WordPress has come a long way as a CMS platform from when it was first founded in 2003. Statistics say that it is the most preferred platform for website development. It powers 26% of the world’s websites which is approximately about 75 million websites.
When compared to other CMS platforms, web development experts rank WordPress, a CMS platform based on PHP, at number 1. This is mainly because the whole platform is selfcontained in itself and does not require any HTMLediting or FTP software for setting up a blog, posting an image of designing a web page.
WordPress development services are provided by almost all web design and development agencies . The platform has to offer a huge array of free as well as paid features to cater to the simple or complex needs of the website development world and thus, today, there are WordPress hosted versions of websites catering to every type business models.
One may be questioning whether the rise to glory of WordPress is merely a stroke of luck or not. Let me tell you - luck had no role to play in this success story. Such an impressive and rapid growth of this CMS platform has several reasons that lie solely in the services and features it has to offer.
I have listed down the unique features that make WordPress a home to 59% of all the CMS based websites:
Open source with a room for expansion:
WordPress can be installed as a mobile app or used on a PC according to the users’ convenience and the setup takes less than 5 minutes. Also, with new standard features constantly being added to it, one can keep upgrading to the latest website development trends.
Simple to use and easy to manage:
One can learn to start using WordPress as a CMS platform in a jiffy as it has a simple UI. For some complex websites, one may need to outsource WordPress development to set it up, but once that is done; its management requires zero coding and programming skills.
A wide scope of customisation:
WordPress has to offer a large number of themes, layouts, templates and plugins for the users to use. Many of these are completely free. One can try out several web page templates and layouts before finalising the most suitable one.
Custom WordPress development services offered by several companies also can develop, create, or modify layouts of plugins or come up with usergenerated extensions, to customise the website as the developer wishes to.
A large community:
The one benefit of WordPress being the go-to CMS platform for 29% of the websites in the world is that every member gets to be a part of a large support community that consists of web developers, consultants, and professionals of various fields. This community is considered to be one of the largest communities on the web.
Signing off with facts that would impress you even more
When compared to other CMS platforms, WordPress has to offer more than double themes and templates for the users to explore. Most surprisingly, WordPress is run and managed by the parent company Automatic Inc., which does not have any physical headquarters.
There are over 600 employees from around 60 countries across the globe in this company and all of them work remotely. With such appalling features that WordPress has to offer for web development, how can it not be the go-to CMS platform for every enterprise owner? Originally posted by : http://bit.ly/2FUxzgO
