WordPress is used by over 75 MILLION websites which accommodate over 30% of all the websites in existence today. I don’t know about you, but that seems like a lot, and that’s because it most certainly is!

2. DOCUMENTATION

With the popularity of WordPress growing each year, so does the increasing amount of documentation and online tutorials. It’s almost a guarantee that if you are looking to do something using WordPress be it creating entire landing pages, online stores, or just simple things like embedding a contact form on your website, you should have no problem finding helpful content from 100’s of different sources.

While it is possible to build a WordPress website for free, there are many premium plugins and themes that can be used to extend the functionality of WordPress allowing you to achieve great things.

4. EASE OF USE

While many would consider WordPress easy to use, It’s not without a small learning curve even for the technically minded. But let’s be honest with ourselves, when do we ever try something new and become instant experts? I know I can say not very often! The old saying “practice makes perfect” is exactly what I’m getting at here. If you put the time and effort into learning your way around WordPress and how it ticks, you will be a whizz in no time, and all for the better!
