10 good reasons to use WordPress

1. WordPress is now equipped with standard features

Although WordPress is intended to be easy and simple to use, the list of features has grown exponentially over the past several years. Menu configuration and media handling are two good examples of new possibilities that are not complicated. The small improvements in WordPress are what have evolved the platform into a great CMS for all types of websites, not just a platform dedicated solely to blogs.

2. The learning curve is just right

Creating a post and managing images is so simple that technophobes will manage without frustration. However, there are tons of features within reach that you can learn to use gradually over time and according to your needs. In contrast, systems like Joomla and (especially) Drupal have simple basics, but offer complex documentation to implement what WordPress can do with your eyes closed!

3. Theme selection is just as simple

There are thousands of WordPress themes available, and some of them are free (but generally poor in features/design and not updated). Everyone can find a theme (site structure and design) that suits their activity. Some premium WordPress themes essentially work as web design building kits and give you the ability to create professional websites quite simply.

4. WordPress allows you to make money online

WordPress can do everything: sell products online from your site, monetize through ads and affiliate offers. Ads are easily inserted using widgets, and e-commerce can be managed through various modules, with WooCommerce being the most popular.

5. There are some great plugins

WordPress offers a giant library of plugins thanks to its very active community. These plugins are often free and comprehensive, but you will also find more complete paid plugins (depending on your needs). The main advantage is the ease of installation and configuration.

6. Regular updates

Because WordPress is popular, technical work on the platform never stops. Even if it sometimes means that technical maintenance can seem like endless work, WordPress is a system that is constantly evolving and therefore improves over time, with new features, bug fixes, and security patches.

7. An active community

As you might expect, a popular and free platform invites developers to work on it and help each other. You will therefore surely find an answer to your question and/or a module that meets your needs. If you never find one, nothing stops you from posting on the WordPress forum!

8. SEO made accessible

WordPress is inherently very SEO-friendly. However, with the addition of dedicated plugins, such as Yoast SEO or All in One SEO Pack, you will increase your chances of achieving proper SEO if done with discipline and rigor. Add to that the ease of using plugins to integrate and share your articles on social networks or simply to like them.

9. Setting up a WordPress site is inexpensive

WordPress is open source, so if you want a visually nice site, nothing prevents you from downloading WordPress and getting your hands dirty! However, be careful not to think you are a developer! A complete site can quickly become complicated, and downloading a plugin won't change that.

10. WordPress remains the best blogging platform

Because yes, that is still its original service: creating blogs! It is the undisputed champion in the field, and other CMS no longer try to compete with it on this point. Your site will therefore easily include a blog or news section that is easy to administer and pleasant for internet users to read.
