WordPress is the most popular content management system (CMS) in the world. It is used to create and manage a website, blog, e-shop or similar. WordPress offers developers many options in the form of plug-ins. These allow them to create thousands of special solutions specifically for the client. Thanks to these additional tools, creating a website with WordPress is the preferred solution for developers. However, for the client, a website created in this content management system offers a convenient and fast way to add and edit content, which even complete beginners can handle.

What is the WordPress phenomenon?
WordPress was created in 2003 by American Matt Mullenweg and Englishman Mike Little. It is open source software that is free to use and modify according to your wishes. It is precisely the free part of using it that has made it extremely popular around the world. Thanks to this, it is possible for anyone to create a professional and high-quality website. It should be noted that in the case of WordPress, only the software part is free, many plugins come for a fee. These same plugins or plug-ins are another reason why creating a website with WordPress is as popular as it is. Currently, you can choose from thousands of plugins to develop exactly what you want for your website. Be it a simple booking system, a customer management application or an e-shop add-on WooCommerce. Plugins that contribute to the popularity of a website in search engines, or establish SEO (Search Engine Optimization), are also extremely popular. Plugins such as Yoast’s WordPress SEO or Semrush’s SEO Writing Assistant are paid, but thanks to them you will see an increase in both the number of visits and ultimately the number of customers.
Southwestern Consulting is a US company with an annual turnover of approximately 40 million euros. The previous development partner abandoned the project and we took over and completed the design and development in two months! The client is very satisfied and we are currently developing the digital transformation of our sister company Southwestern Advantage.
Does WordPress have any disadvantages?
With all the positive aspects that we can point out about WordPress, there are also some disadvantages. For example, the same plugins that add so many great features to websites can also be a real headache. For example, because each of them has a different developer and logic. It can be very difficult for a beginner to navigate their world. Downloading plugins and setting them up on a website takes time and knowledge. In general, we recommend leaving this work to professionals and rather enjoying the result yourself. Even when plugins are set up on a website, they do not always work as expected. Almost all of them need to be updated from time to time. During this process, however, they can start to behave hopelessly differently or even “break” the website for a while. It is in this situation that we often receive requests for help from website owners, because while tinkering with them, everything has suddenly crashed and the website can no longer function. Of course, we will be happy to help and help the website work again.
The largest employer in Raasiku, Mistra-Autex, received a new website from us, for which we also made a decent video introducing the production building and the production process. Mistra produces carpets for the world’s largest car manufacturers, e.g. BMW, Mercedes Benz, Volkswagen, Jaguar, Volvo, Škoda, etc.
Making a website with WordPress seems easy, I’ll do it myself!
We have indeed heard this sentence from clients. Yes, for us developers, creating a website with WordPress is generally a pleasant job. And indeed, if you are a hobbyist and have a lot of time to learn, you would probably be able to set up a functioning website yourself. The question is rather whether this time expenditure is justified. This time could be spent developing in your field and increasing the company’s income in it. Outsourcing a development service offers extra time. In addition, you can be sure that there is always support if something stops working, crashes, or the entire site goes down the drain.
How to find the best website builder for you?
You have to take the first steps yourself and find companies that offer a service for creating a website with WordPress. Be sure to check out the provider’s references on the website. What do the pages they create look like? Do they have experience in a similar field to what you are looking for? Do the pages look nice and offer special solutions? If you can’t find any completed work on the company’s website, it is more of a red flag. Once you have found a provider whose handwriting suits you, contact them and describe your wishes as precisely as possible. By the way, since you will have to communicate with them a lot in the future, the level of customer service is also important. Find out about the service, ask questions and clarify all the details. Communicate fluently and expect the same from the developer, because only through cooperation between the client and the developers will a great website be created in the end.
