Because it is unrivaled in user-friendliness, adaptability and its active developer community!

What is the advantage of WordPress?

The Advantages of WordPress

Websites created with WordPress can be cost-effectively and promptly implemented.

Once the assembly process has begun, WordPress administration is uncomplicated and requires very little programming knowledge.
WordPress is simple in it’s operation and requires very little technical know-how to administer it. The insertion of images, videos and text content can be inserted per drag & drop. The design and addition of new pages, can be done without editing a line of code.

A good choice for managing online shops.

Use WordPress to manage your company e-commerce online shop. Expand your website by adding an online shop using nothing more than WordPress plug-ins. There’s no need to learn about or use any new tools. Amending Access rights, customers Data, shopping baskets, price structures or products can be managed directly in the systems backend – in the usual intuitive WordPress manner. It’s also possible to link your online-shop to Amazon, eBay or price search engines and export data to each inteface. Company data management can be centered in your WordPress instance.

Easy to use

WordPress is unbeatable when it comes to user-friendliness. Not only the download and installation are easy, but also the user interface: From the dashboard to the customizer, the back end is designed very intuitively, which makes it attractive for every user.

Scalability

Though it started out as a small CMS for blogs, WordPress is now scalable for websites of any size and can easily be technically extended with plugins to meet higher requirements.

No programming knowledge required

If WordPress needed a slogan, it could be something like this: WordPress – a CMS for everyone! You don’t need a degree in computer science or to have completed a WordPress crash course to use the software – whether for the easy «5-minute WordPress installation» or for its operation.

Support from experts: WordPress agencies

If you don’t have the time to handle your website yourself, you can opt for a WordPress agency that will take care of the technical handling for you from the outset.

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.

Web hosting with PHP

PHP is the scripting language used by WordPress. This is continuously developed and updated with new PHP versions for the content management system. To stay up to date, web hosting with PHP is recommended so that your host regularly rolls out the new PHP updates on your system. Just remember one thing: Each new PHP version brings an improvement in performance and security. Incidentally, WordPress itself recommends using version PHP 7.4 or higher for your software.

MYSQL database

Every website, irrespective of the CMS behind it, requires a database for operation. It's incredibly important because it stores all the information required for websites to function, as well as any changes that are made in the backend. WordPress uses the database management system MySQL, which is simply called the MySQL database for short. As soon as data is changed, saved or deleted, WordPress sends a MySQL query to the database. This is stored on your website's server. To access it, you have to go through your hosting provider. Alternatively, you can also use an interface called phpMyAdmin.

wordpress software

Last but not least, you will of course need the WordPress software. You can download the original version from the official website. The system has provided step-by-step instructions for this. Simply click on "Start now" on the interface and enter your email address. Then choose a user name and password and create your account. You can then conveniently download the CMS.

optional: own domain

After you have reserved and verified your own domain with your hosting provider, you can easily connect it to your website. To do this, click on "Upgrades" in your dashboard and select "Use my own domain" from the dropdown. Then enter your domain name and click on "Use a domain I own". And now your WordPress site is online under your URL!

What is the difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org?

As a WordPress agency, we can say: WordPress is always a safe bet as a website building software, as millions of reviews can attest. Once you have decided on the software, you can choose between two options: wordpress.com and wordpress.org. These two variants differ in their scope of services and cost factor.

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.
