Why Wordpress?

Why WordPress?

If Opportunity doesn't knock, Build a Door !!

The self-hosted version of WordPress is a force to be reckoned with, powering millions of websites. We think it offers the best balance between usability, functionality and ease of development for most website requirements. 

Because it’s:

1.Powerful – WordPress is a Content Management System (CMS) that gives you the power to update your site without the need for further involvement from a developer

2.Extendable – we can usually find off-the-shelf plugins and themes to add functionality that is not provided by WordPress core. It’s straight-forward for us to write custom code in the form of plugins and/or themes to extend that functionality further.

3.Supported – with hundreds of millions of people using WordPress constantly, there’s a how-to, tutorial, support forum or guide for almost anything you want to do. Whether it’s a step-by-step guide to adding an image to a blog post, or learning how to build a theme – it’s all there for you to learn and access. Most of it’s published on WordPress sites!

4.Free, open source software (FOSS) – WordPress is developed, tested and supported continually. No other web CMS has anywhere near the number of man-hours invested in it – we think that’s one of the best signs that WordPress is a good choice for the future as well as here and now.

Don’t just take our word for it. The WordPress.org site itself is very well-documented and we advise you to review some of the features and capabilities of WordPress. We can’t cover all possible features, functionality and limitations in this document.

Potential limitations - We try to be clear about the benefits, limitations and risks of using open source software. Here are some things you should consider:

1.Ownership – WordPress and much of its software ecosystem are free and open source. We can’t control its future development or the impact that updates might have on your website or business.

2.Updates – it’s essential that your website is kept updated to current versions of WordPress, plugins and themes. Find out why we say this here. We’ll never compromise your ability to update your WordPress site, plugins or commercial themes without informing you specifically about the implications.

3.3rd party code – we can’t be responsible for other people’s code – that means we won’t modify or extend WordPress, plugin or theme functionality unless that’s specifically included in a scope of work we agree. You should be aware that where functionality or design is provided by off-the-shelf software, future changes can be easy to make. In the future, if you request changes that are outside what off-the-shelf software is able to provide (or you’re unwilling to use that software) then costs may increase significantly.

Theme and plugin development

When undertaking WordPress theme and plugin work, we deliver ready-to install packages containing files and templates developed from PHP, (X)HTML markup, CSS for styling and unobtrusive Javascript for feature detection and behaviors.

WordPress is the best-used and best-supported open source Content Management System used in the world today. Whilst it is impossible to predict future requirements for something as complex as a website, WordPress is an extremely versatile, capable and extensible platform. We believe that WordPress is a safe choice for future-proof websites.
