While this may have been true a decade ago, this understanding of WordPress is completely false. In fact, of the top 100K websites in the world, Builtwith shows that WordPress owns about 28% of the market.<\/p>\n<p>Why does this matter? Well, because it creates other benefits of WordPress (like support) that I\u2019ll talk about more down the list.<\/p>\n<p>WordPress is Widely Supported by Agencies<\/p>\n<p>Another great benefit of WordPress, because of it\u2019s market share, is that many, many, many agencies providing professional web design services use WordPress to develop their client websites; or have at least used in the past. Now, don\u2019t get me wrong, this doesn\u2019t mean that all agencies will do an amazing job with WordPress, but at least you aren\u2019t having to travel far and wide to find someone who can help.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, there are great resources out there like Codeable for finding a WordPress developer in a pinch.<\/p>\n<p>Great Hosting Options<\/p>\n<p>As WordPress has evolved over the years, a few great hosting providers have decided to specialize specifically in WordPress. For instance, WPEngine, as its name suggests, does precisely this and their offering is amazing.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever a business chooses to niche it makes it easier for them to become superior in their market. WPEngine is one of the best options on the market for WordPress hosting simply because they made their business much simpler by not hosting other platforms. Here are some features I love about WPEngine:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Automatic daily backups with one-click restore<\/li>\n<li>Incredible security \u2013 they\u2019ll even notify you if any of the plugins your website is using have known vulnerabilities. It\u2019s easier for them to keep their hosting secure because they really know the WordPress platform.<\/li>\n<li>Speed \u2013 with WordPress being their only platform, WPEngine has been able to hyperfocus on speed and even has caching software ready to use out of the box<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You Can Create Custom Themes on WordPress<\/p>\n<p>In addition to purchasing a theme, organizations can also hire an agency to build a custom WordPress theme. By going this route, you\u2019re still using a sophisticated framework with innumerable features built in, but you\u2019re also extending it and creating a design that\u2019s on brand.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of asking \u201cwhat can this theme do and can we make this work?\u201d you can ask \u201cwhat do we want to do with our website?\u201d. With custom WordPress theme development, there really aren\u2019t much for restrictions\u2026 you can pretty much do anything and that\u2019s a huge benefit of going with WordPress.<\/p>\n<p>WordPress can be made Really Secure<\/p>\n<p>Though it\u2019s true that WordPress sites can be hacked \u2013 after-all, the bigger the market share, the bigger the target \u2013 but another benefit of WordPress is that there are many fairly easy-to-implement strategies for making your WordPress site very secure.<\/p>\n<p>In general, strong passwords, keeping your software up to date and choosing a solid hosting company will remove the lion\u2019s share of risk for your company. But after that, there\u2019s still a plethora of security measures you can take.<\/p>\n<p>WordPress is Search Engine Friendly out of the Box<\/p>\n<p>In addition to creating content easily, another benefit of WordPress is that it has great Search Engine Optimization (SEO) out of the box. This is important because more than just creating quality content, you want to make sure that your content can actually be found by search engines like Google.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more details on our products and services, please feel free to visit us at <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.webigg.com\/\"><strong>Best Online Marketing Company India<\/strong><\/a><strong>, <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/webigg.com\/internet-marketing-services-company.html\"><strong>Online Marketing New Delhi<\/strong><\/a><strong>, <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.webigg.com\/\"><strong>Search engine marketing India<\/strong><\/a><strong>, <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.webigg.com\/\"><strong>Online Marketing India<\/strong><\/a><strong>, <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.webigg.com\/internet-marketing-services-company.html\"><strong>Internet Marketing Company India<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WordPress has Market Share Have you heard the rumors that WordPress is just for \u201cblogging websites\u201d?
