WordPress currently powers an astounding 26% of the entire web. Although it may not seem like a large number, there are an estimated 4.75 billion web pages among thousands of website frameworks. These numbers add up. Why is WordPress so popular? Answer: it is best for the business that it represents. Here are a few reasons why WordPress websites are the best option for serious businesses.

WordPress is a Secure Content Management System

WordPress is free and open source, which means that thousands of developers contribute to the code on their own free-will. Some developers focus on design and aesthetic. Others focus on functionality, compatibility, and security. WordPress will release a security update for all of its users to apply when a security hole is discovered and verified.WordPress users can receive these security updates quickly and automatically with built in background updates.

Regular security patches means that your business website is being updated and secured from hackers. Obviously, having your site hacked is bad for business.

WordPress Websites Are Content Focused

WordPress is first and foremost a content management system. WordPress provides website developers with a guide on designing around the main content. A properly designed WordPress website will allow for businesses to focus on their message and content.

The design of WordPress websites are also easily updated. Web designers can use the existing content on a website and apply a new theme or design without having to start over.

WordPress Works on Most Web Hosts

If you need to move your website away from an unreliable web host or web designer, chances are that it will work on another one. There are plenty of low quality hosting companies out there, but they can still handle your website. This is beneficial to businesses because they can keep their website and content if they are unhappy with their existing service provider. Websites like Shopify, BigCommerce, Wix, and Squarespace essentially keep content hostage. If a business decides to cancel with one of these services, then they would need to build a new website from scratch.
