Why choose WordPress for my website?

WordPress is the industry leader in CMS, powering over 40% of websites worldwide. As one of the best content management services out there for businesses, its flexibility, scalability and ease of use make it very manageable for brands of all sizes. As your business grows, so can your WordPress site as it offers an array of customisation options, integration of third-party tools (such as CRM systems, analytics and tracking platforms), extensive security as well as built in SEO features.
For SEO, WordPress allows for full control with tools like Yoast SEO which allows you to refine meta titles, descriptions, schema as well as internal linking for better rankings. And if blogging is your thing, WordPress has a built-in blogging functionality that can drive up to 55% more traffic to your site!
We build all our WordPress websites with a block-based structure making it super easy to edit, add pages and maintain your website. For high traffic sites, we can implement a headless WordPress setup, allowing for millions of sessions all while maintaining speed and performance.

How do plugins affect my WordPress website?

Plugins are a great tool to enhance your website’s functionality, anything from social media, ecommerce stores to appointment scheduling tools and security optimisation can be installed. With the largest plugin and extension library, WordPress makes it incredibly easy to integrate third party systems which reduces the need for custom development.
As useful as plugins are, we select plugins that have been rigorously tested and that we deem high quality to prevent code bloat and any performance issues, as in not doing so could result in a slower site and security risks. We recommend custom development for any features such as pop-ups or sliders to maintain this high level of performance and security.

What are WordPress best practices?

WordPress best practices focus on security, performance and long term maintainability. Lets look at these in a bit more detail:
– Security: We implement strong firewall protection, bot mitigation and two-factor authentication for admin access. We also use additional security tools to safeguard against bots, hackers and any other vulnerabilities that there may be.
– Regular Updates: Ensuring the following elements are regularly updated is crucial for security and performance: WordPress core, plugins and themes. We highly recommend a WordPress care plan to handle all updates proactively.
– Reducing Plugin Usage: We focus on only using essential plugins which in turn prevents unnecessary code bloat and any security risks.
– Custom Development: We stay away from bloated page builders such as – Elementor, which can slow down sites and bring forward usability issues. Instead, we like to build WordPress sites with clean and efficient code for better speed and security.

How does WordPress handle SEO?

WordPress is built with SEO at the forefront, being one of the best CMS’s for this particular task as it offers built in tools and plugins like Yoast SEO to help optimise meta titles, descriptions, focus keywords, schema and Open Graph data.

To add to this, WordPress also creates optimised blog content which has proven to be a key factor in improving search engine rankings and driving organic traffic.
