An increasing number of our clients are asking us if we can help them update their website. The answer is of course yes. We build websites using WordPress.

WordPress is an open source content management tool. In layman’s terms that means it’s a tool, available free of charge to developers that allows them to produce exciting and interesting websites quickly and easily.

Almost 25% of the world’s websites are built using WordPress but perhaps more interestingly almost 50% of the world’s 10,000 most popular sites are built using WordPress!

Ok Why WordPress?

Well firstly, because it’s easy-to-use, so developers can produce interesting and exciting layouts and formats quickly, embracing the latest technologies (such as making your website automatically scale when viewed on a mobile phone or tablet) or include the latest style of animations on drop-down menus or images making the site looks slick, professional and interesting.

And secondly, because it’s so ridiculously easy to maintain in many instances clients can make simple changes themselves.

WordPress started life as a tool for bloggers, who would repeatedly post articles to their own blogs. Consequently, creating a “post” or page in WordPress is pretty much like typing the documents using Microsoft Word. If you’re confident with word, your only a few clicks away, from being able to post to your website!

We’ve also taken it upon ourselves to dismiss the notion that website hosting can be expensive. It’s amazing how frequently we come across clients who are paying perhaps £40 a month for “hosting services” whereas in truth, the costs associated with hosting can be more like £40 a year. We encourage users to pay for their hosting services directly (typically via credit card). Presently our business package, which includes two domain names (that is website addresses) and 500 email accounts is listed at just £4.16 per month!

And the choice of layouts, look and feel of the site is virtually endless there are literally 1000’s of themes – here are a couple of links,  theme costs range from free to just a few dollars https://themeforest.net/?ref=marketermatt, we are able to offer all elegant themes free; https://www.elegantthemes.com/
