What exactly is WordPress?
Today, over 20 years after it was founded, WordPress is one of the most widely used portals for website creation. Why is this? Because it is unrivaled in user-friendliness, adaptability and its active developer community!
Who's behind WordPress?
Is WordPress still up to date?
There has always been some level of criticism of WordPress: The handling is rather technical; the user interface is outdated and the responsibility for the system lies entirely with the user. Moreover, it is so widely used that it has long since become a popular target for hackers.
Most of this criticism, however, is the result of outdated clichés, because it isn’t for nothing that WordPress continues to be extremely popular. And for a multitude of reasons!
Who works with WordPress?
The good thing about WordPress: Everyone can work with it! Whether private individuals, the self-employed or companies – anyone can create their own individual website with the content management system.
Besides these groups, however, it is primarily specialized WordPress agencies that work with the software. They are focused on developing websites with WordPress: Regardless of whether a new website is to be completely created from scratch or an existing website is to be optimized – a WordPress agency provides customers with comprehensive support in the development of their projects.
The range of services covers WordPress development, WordPress design, search engine optimization, hosting, installation and maintenance of plugins as well as plugin development, reporting, maintenance and support, including security checks and updates – 360° support for everything!

What is the advantage of WordPress?
Alongside the huge developer community, where a wealth of expertise comes together, WordPress offers a wide range of functions, as explained at the beginning. At this point, our discussion of this could get a little out of hand, so we’d like to present the 4 top advantages of WordPress that clearly set the software apart from other competitors.
The Advantages of WordPress
What is needed to run WordPress?
But, despite all the advantages, some technical requirements must first be met before digitization with WordPress and the design of your website can begin – including PHP and server requirements.
What is the difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org?
WordPress.com: Free blogging service with limited functionality
And although everybody is always talking about one WordPress, the range of functions and features must be differentiated.
You can think of wordpress.com as wordpress.org’s little sister. It is a website builder from the company Automattic, which was launched by WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg in 2005. This building kit is based on open-source software and is a service for hosting WordPress websites. In other words, the provider wordpress.com takes care of the entire handling of the installation as well as the maintenance of the website. At first glance, this offers you a tremendous technical simplification. But as soon as it comes to customizing your website, you quickly reach the limits of its functionality.
You can therefore only use the themes approved by the provider. You can only install plugins as an extension to your website if you select the higher-priced “Business” tariff from the provider – and even then, some plugins are not suppo
WordPress.org: Unleashes the full WordPress power when self-hosted
With wordpress.org you are the master of your website and have full control over your content management system. This is because it is the original open-source WordPress software that you can install with your own web hosting. The result: You can control everything, from the appearance to the functions of your WordPress website.
At wordpress.org you can download the latest version free of charge and use the software for your own domain and web space.
This gives you many more possibilities to customize your website according to your wishes.
In addition to a huge selection of themes with different designs (and the corresponding responsive design), you also have unlimited access to all free and paid plugins to expand the functionality of your website according to your needs. For all creative minds, you can even create your own WordPress theme design.
Besides the unlimited availability of email accounts, you are also the master of your database, where you can access and edit all WordPress files via an FTP program.
How can a WordPress agency provide support?
As you have already read, WordPress is exactly the right CMS to help you take care of the creation and maintenance of your website yourself. Despite this, it is still advisable to seek the support of a WordPress agency: The extensive experience and knowledge of a WordPress agency ensure that the potential of WordPress is exploited to the full.
A WordPress agency is also often the best decision in terms of your time and personnel resources: This means that none of your employees have to spend a lot of time familiarizing themselves with WordPress and can fully rely on the support provided by the WordPress agency. By having a professional partner at your side, the system is always up to date with the latest changes and developments in the market in terms of design, WordPress SEO and the associated online marketing and content marketing, and of course in terms of web development. As you can see, a professional WordPress agency takes care of everything to do with the software and takes a lot of work off your hands.
