One of the probably first decisions you have taken, especially if your business is digital was about your website. You probably hired someone to create your website following your requirements, and shortly after you have received the end product.<\/p>\n<p>Great! But what now? How to change this old heading or add a page about that new product you are developing? How to change or add images to your products&#8217; galleries? Is your website SEO friendly? Is it secure?<\/p>\n<p>These and many more, are the subsequent questions that will hit your mind like a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Death_Star\">Death Star<\/a> especially if the developers did not leave you with any documentation. You will have to rely solely on them to make the changes you need costing you more time and money.<\/p>\n<p>Are you in such a situation already? Why not migrate your existing website to a website-building platform that will allow you with little to no web development knowledge to easily build and further maintain your website?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there are many great website-building platforms, one of them stands at the pinnacle of this industry and, without a doubt, is the best option if you have little to no knowledge of how to build and maintain your website.

Still, if you have not &#8211; WordPress is a free, open-source content management system (CMS). It allows anyone to manage the most essential aspect of their website &#8211; the content, without any IT background. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, it&#8217;s the single most popular website-building platform as over 42.9% of all 2 billion websites worldwide are powered by WordPress. On average, it&#8217;s estimated that a new website built with WordPress goes online every <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/website\/wordpress-stats#:~:text=In%202021%2C%20it%20was%20estimated,every%20day%20of%20the%20year.\">2 minutes<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manaferra.com\/wordpress-statistics\/#:~:text=In%202022%2C%20WordPress%20has%20a,than%2010%25%20over%20the%20years.\">14.73 percent of the top 100 websites<\/a> worldwide are built with WordPress. Among them are: BBC America, The Next Web, The Walt Disney Company, Fauna and Flora International, The official website of Sweden, Harvard University Gazette, Realtor, and many, many more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If this is not a good enough motivation to immediately migrate your website to WordPress, here are six reasons why WordPress is the right choice for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"WordPress_is_Free_mostly\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WordPress is Free<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0(mostly)<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most significant advantages of WordPress is that it is mostly free. Of course, there are some themes and plug-ins that are paid for, but as a whole, if you have little budget when migrating your website, using WordPress is what you need.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other website-building platforms have subscriptions or paid services, and many of them insist on using their hosting. With WordPress, you can choose your hosting company and decide where to store your website&#8217;s data based on quality and price rather than the builder you need to use. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, WordPress works fantastic with our Fast, Secure, and stable <a href=\"https:\/\/hostarmada.com\/pricing\/\">Cloud Web Hosting<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. With it you will get everything your website will ever need:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Optimized Web Hosting service for WordPress<\/li>\n<li>Static and Dynamic Caching<\/li>\n<li>FREE WordPress Optimization<\/li>\n<li>FREE SSL certificate<\/li>\n<li>FREE Website Transfer<\/li>\n<li>24\/7 Technical Support<\/li>\n<li>WordPress Management Panel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"WordPress_is_extremely_easy_to_use\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WordPress is e<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">xtremely easy to use<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image5-1024x661.jpg\" alt=\"Image of a laptop with coffee at the side\" width=\"1024\" height=\"661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image5-1024x661.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image5-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image5-768x496.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image5-1536x992.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image5-24x15.jpg 24w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image5-36x23.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image5-48x31.jpg 48w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image5.jpg 1999w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Admin Interface &#8211;<\/strong> Another significant advantage of WordPress over manually built websites is its user-friendly admin interface, which allows people with practically zero experience in website building to create a genuinely good-looking website. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The admin dashboard is easily navigable, and even if that&#8217;s the first time you visit any admin page, you will easily find everything you need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Customizations &#8211;<\/strong> Through customization, you can effortlessly change your website&#8217;s look by only choosing predetermined options such as a visual theme. Yes, that&#8217;s rather basic, but if you need an easy-to-manage website, you have no budget, and you need it functional and live yesterday, that&#8217;s more than a good choice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a completely operative and eye-pleasing website, all you need is to install a premium visual theme and, if required, add a page builder like Gutenberg, Elementor, or WP Builder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most importantly, WordPress is the perfect place to learn about website functionalities and gradually expand your skills to the point where you won&#8217;t need the predetermined customization but instead make your own changes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Publishing &#8211;<\/strong> If the goal is to create a content-driven website, WordPress has absolutely no competition. Adding blog posts, galleries, pictures, videos, and anything in between is done with just several intuitive clicks, regardless of your previous experience.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"WordPress_is_expandable\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WordPress is expandable<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking of personalization and expandability, WordPress, without a doubt, has no rival. With over <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/website\/wordpress-stats#:~:text=There%20are%20over%2031%2C000%20WordPress,available%20for%20download%20or%20purchase.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">31,000 visual themes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and page templates, the platform is at the forefront when it comes to customization. The best part is that most of them are free, or at least have a free version. Naturally, if you want to reach the full potential of a visual theme, you&#8217;ll have to purchase it, but even so, the prices are rarely something that one can&#8217;t afford. The average price comes at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.codeinwp.com\/blog\/wordpress-theme-cost-analysis\/#:~:text=WordPress%20theme%20pricing&amp;text=And%20yet%2C%20when%20taken%20as,prices%20came%20out%20as%20%2459.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">about $59.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To go a step further, you can install a functional component like a drag-and-drop website builder. With it, you can create a unique page entirely according to your vision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The real customization, however, comes through the plug-ins. With nearly <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manaferra.com\/wordpress-statistics\/#:~:text=In%202022%2C%20WordPress%20has%20a,than%2010%25%20over%20the%20years.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">60 thousand<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plug-ins at your disposal, you can achieve every functionality you are after. Furthermore, the plugins allow you to optimize your website&#8217;s performance and offer you seamless integration with essential SEO, SMM, and other digital marketing tools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/justin-morgan-ZjX-z2Q5zrk-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Image of WordPress Admin Area\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/justin-morgan-ZjX-z2Q5zrk-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/justin-morgan-ZjX-z2Q5zrk-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/justin-morgan-ZjX-z2Q5zrk-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/justin-morgan-ZjX-z2Q5zrk-unsplash-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/justin-morgan-ZjX-z2Q5zrk-unsplash-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/justin-morgan-ZjX-z2Q5zrk-unsplash-24x16.jpg 24w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/justin-morgan-ZjX-z2Q5zrk-unsplash-36x24.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/justin-morgan-ZjX-z2Q5zrk-unsplash-48x32.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While many plug-ins will enhance your website&#8217;s features and make it more interactive, some are instrumental to your website&#8217;s performance. Such is the analytics plug-in, which will connect your website to Google Analytics, the contact form plug-in, and the SEO plug-in. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, among the top <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/most-popular-wordpress-plugins\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10 most popular WordPress<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plug-ins, there are two contact forms, one analytics, three security, and two SEO plug-ins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transferring your website to WordPress will allow you to seamlessly connect it with all other platforms your brand uses, upgrade your security, boost your SEO efforts and add new functionalities to your pages.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"WordPress_is_SEO_friendly\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WordPress is <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> SEO friendly<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can you imagine almost half of the world&#8217;s websites to be using a platform that&#8217;s not SEO friendly? WordPress is beyond that. Thanks to one particular plug-in, you can not only take instant care of your on-site SEO, but you can also learn more on what are Google&#8217;s guidelines for reaching the number one spot. Yoast SEO is the most popular and widely used plug-in of all time. It has been installed on over <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/website\/wordpress-stats#:~:text=There%20are%20over%2031%2C000%20WordPress,available%20for%20download%20or%20purchase.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5 million websites<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and its functionalities tell you exactly how to change your content to better your chances of becoming Google&#8217;s favorite.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image3-1024x597.png\" alt=\"Image of a list of SEO and other plugins\" width=\"1024\" height=\"597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image3-1024x597.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image3-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image3-768x447.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image3-24x14.png 24w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image3-36x21.png 36w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image3-48x28.png 48w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image3.png 1236w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, you can boost your website speed by minifying the CSS, and JS codes, optimizing the images and controlling your website&#8217;s cache, all via one plug-in. What&#8217;s even better, there are at least a dozen that can do the job just perfectly. However, despite this boost, plug-ins can only bring you so far if you don&#8217;t have good enough hosting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, Search engines love security, and WordPress delivers some of the best in the business. The platform is well-known for its top-notch security protocols, and for 2021, it prevented over<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 86 billion<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> malicious attacks on passwords. In addition, it blocked more than 18 billion attempts to steal data in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">June of 2021 alone,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> so WordPress is always one step ahead of hackers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if your SEO is not suffering at the moment, with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/google-seo-news-google-algorithm-updates\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google&#8217;s constant changes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you need to be always on top. With WordPress plug-ins constantly updating, you can just follow their advice and stay in the number one spot forever. And even if you&#8217;re not that interested in SEO, the sheer boost in security is enough of a reason to switch your CMS.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"WordPress_is_highly_scalable\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WordPress is highly scalable.<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scalability is one of the most important aspects of your business. So naturally, when your business grows, your website should too. WordPress is perfect for the job, as its flexibility, easy use, and effortless implementation of new features make it ideal for a fast-growing business. Even if you decide to add an online shop on the side, there are plug-ins that will allow you to do it smoothly and securely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, your website&#8217;s page amount and capacity of your content are only dictated by your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hostarmada.com\/pricing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hosting plan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and not by secondary fees on the website building platform, additional hidden clauses, and other tedious factors. Finally, no matter how big your website gets, WordPress, with some plug-ins&#8217; help, can optimize it well enough, so its user experience won&#8217;t suffer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"WordPress_Support_is_beyond_outstanding\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WordPress Support is beyond outstanding<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Undoubtedly, the best WordPress advantage over any other CMS or website builder is its community.
