WordPress is the most convenient CMS to create your blog, flooring website design, or news portal. The main advantage of this platform is that it is available for free with all its features. With the help of special plug-ins, you can expand the capabilities of WordPress.

Plugins allow you to edit your templates, adjust the markup of pages, display news, a social media block, widgets, etc. Most of the additional extensions are free. To download and install the desired plugin, the user can simply use the convenient search engine built into WordPress in the control panel.

 

 

Advantages of WordPress

Here are some things that make WordPress so good:

• It has the most convenient, simple, and functional admin panel (it will take 2-3 hours to master it).
• A huge number of free templates are available for it.
• It boasts constant free updates and additions.
• Gutenberg editor is available for it.
• It boasts a well-developed user community and appropriate knowledge base.
• It allows users to download additional extensions.
• It allows users to modify the template code.

Thanks to all these advantages, WordPress has found great success and popularity in many countries worldwide. With the help of this platform, you can easily run a personal blog, news site, and even video hosting with open access. Your success will largely depend on the desired results, on what you want to get from this completely free CMS.

Another advantage of WordPress is that it’s easy to use and easy to install on any standard hosting with basic settings. Even the cheapest hosting will do for a website based on WordPress. Despite all these advantages, however, this CMS has certain shortcomings.

Shortcomings of WordPress

Here is a list of things that make WordPress not perfect:

• duplication of pages and images;
• a large number of extensions and themes with bugs;
• a limited set of basic features;
• decreased performance of your web page if you have installed many plug-ins;
• no official customer support;
• vulnerability to hacker attacks.

Arguably, the most terrible shortcoming is that the user can not contact customer support because there is no customer support. The vulnerability of this CMS is also a huge drawback. No one wants to be successfully attacked by hackers.

However, if we compare the pros and cons of WordPress, we’ll have to conclude that this content management system is an excellent start for many large and small projects, with a sufficient number of tools for editing content and relatively minor shortcomings in management and security.

Drawing Conclusions

WordPress is ideal for creating simple business websites, portfolios, advertising campaigns, news, and information blogs. At the same time, to develop your business at its initial stages and gradually reveal its potential while not having any framework for improving your CMS is not that great — not to mention the vulnerability to hacker attacks. That’s why it might be a good idea to entrust the development of your site to professionals. Whatever its shortcomings, WordPress is still a suitable tool for website owners and developers, and it’s up to you to decide whether or not you want to use it.
