WordPress has been around for over 20 years, but somewhat recently has become so ubiquitous and an almost industry standard for all types of website. This is because it has become very powerful on its own, easy to use and manage, and allows open-source plugins (small programs) to be created by hundreds of thousands of companies that extend the power of WordPress even more!
Most of these plugins are completely free and can greatly expand what your website can do. Such as the Woocommerce plugin which can turn your website into a full featured online store, which in turn can be integrated with Paypal, Stripe, Square, or other payment processing services. Woocommerce can also be integrated with Fedex, UPS, and other shipping companies to provide real-time shipping rates right on your website!
Powerful Editing Tools
Somewhat recently, the Gutenberg Blocks system was created to make editing pages within WordPress easier than ever. This system understands every element on a webpage as a “block” and each block has a predictable and easy set of options and settings. When you click on a block, it will provide you multiple ways to edit it.
Editing Your Site Yourself
Because of the easy with which changes can be made to a website using WordPress and especially the Gutenberg Blocks, we always train our clients to manage every aspect of the website they think they may change in the future. This puts our clients in control of their own content, and website which they appreciate.
