WordPress is flexible, SEO-friendly and secure if you maintain it properly. It is used for everything from small business sites to large online shops.
What does this mean in practice?
WordPress is open-source software, a so-called CMS, that powers a large share of all websites worldwide: from blogs to large portals and online shops. With thousands of extensions (plugins), almost any feature is possible.
Why does this matter for your business?
Thanks to its popularity, there is a large community and plenty of specialists, and you are not tied to one company. That same popularity does make WordPress a target for attacks. Without updates and security, it becomes risky.
Examples and best practices
- Update WordPress itself, your theme and your plugins regularly.
- Only use reliable, well-known plugins.
- Use a firewall, backups and strong passwords.
- Don't overload your site with dozens of unnecessary extensions.
