We Understand You Have Questions And We Want To Help You Get Answers

Why do big brands like The New York Times or Sony use WordPress to power their website? Well, it is precisely because of the platform’s excellent customisation options. That is why web developers also use WordPress as their preferred platform. The main reason to choose WordPress is that it allows you the freedom to do exactly what you want and realise the vision you have for your audience. WordPress is a platform that is easy to use and well-documented. It is customisable and is well-known by web developers. Along with using standard programming languages (PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript), WordPress is safe, secure and flexible when it comes to your budget resources. It is also frequently updated and is SEO-friendly. Not only that, but it is also mobile-friendly and accessible to a broad audience. 

Moreover, WordPress’s popularity is also what makes it such a great platform. The better WordPress gets, the more people use it. And the more people use it, the more global resources the platform can draw upon to keep improving. It is a virtuous cycle. As long as WordPress remains the most popular website-builder out there, it will remain your best option to create a website that is precisely what you want and serves you effectively.

The most common (non-technical) way to start a website would be to set up a WordPress site and apply a WordPress theme. As far as WordPress themes are concerned, a broad range of different types of website templates are available for free or with a purchase. Not all of the themes/templates are 100% responsive, though. There are also services like Wix or Squarespace that provide themes and allow you to edit within the website frame. These can help you get a website up pretty fast and easily. However, there are limitations on the available options for more complex features, such as forms or eCommerce functions. On the other hand, a custom website will have a completely unique design that will effectively incorporate your company’s branding. Custom Websites are based around the needs of your business, and they are adaptable to your company’s requirements or brand. 

A Custom Website is a site built using WordPress or another CMS platform where it is made entirely from scratch for a particular company to fit its needs and brand. Custom built websites tend to take longer to create as everything is built and catered for a specific business. However, custom websites can save time in the long run because when it’s built from the ground up, making it a lot easier to customise the site to ensure your site does exactly what you need it to do. Custom designs also allow your site to be responsive across all devices (such as phones, tablets, laptops) and browsers.

To create a WordPress website, the steps you need to take can roughly be the same as all other projects. However, the execution can vary, depending on the nature of your site and its scope. In general terms, we start by planning what your site will include and how it will look. Next, we move on to getting the technical elements in places, such as a domain and hosting. Then, the real work on the website begins, and we start creating its pages, writing the content, building and customising a theme, and more. Even after the website is done, it may require some tweaks and revisions until it looks and works just like it needs to. Depending on the scoped requirements, our efficient team at WEBO Digital can create a fully-loaded custom medium-sized WordPress website within a few months.

The WordPress software is free, you can download a copy of WordPress for free, and it is yours to use or amend as you wish. The software is published under the GNU General Public License (or GPL). This means it is free not only to download but also to edit, customise, and use. It is a software model that is known as open-source. Features include you using WordPress in whatever way you like with no restrictions. You can also customise, add, or remove anything in WordPress with no limits. Most importantly, you can take WordPress, alter it, repackage it, and sell it to other people at a profit, as long as you apply for the GPL license. In other words, clients can pay for the code, but they need to have access to it so they can modify it themselves.
