WordPress is free<\/h2>\n

WordPress itself is completely free to download, install, use, and modify. Moreover, it is Open Source, meaning you can access and adjust the source code as needed. Currently, WordPress offers nearly 4,000 free themes and over 55,000 free plugins.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

Many (free) plugins<\/h2>\n

Plugins are pieces of code that add extra functionality to your WordPress website. A large number of these plugins are also free. In many cases, the lite versions of plugins are sufficient for your website, though premium paid versions are often available.<\/p>\n

The advantage of paid plugins is the availability of email or chat support. If you encounter issues with configuration or conflicts caused by the plugin, support can assist you in resolving them.<\/p>\n

Be cautious of outdated plugins! The plugin library contains many plugins that are no longer maintained. Such plugins can cause data leaks. Before activating a plugin, make sure it is up-to-date.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

Thousands of themes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For every type of website, multiple themes are available, allowing you to set up a website quickly. The same caveat applies as with plugins: outdated themes can pose security risks. Always ensure the theme you activate is up-to-date.<\/p>\n

<\/div>

Easy to Use<\/h2>\n

You don’t need to be a web developer or designer to work with WordPress. Almost all actions are intuitive, which is one of the main reasons for WordPress’s popularity. Did you know that 35% of all websites on the internet are built with WordPress?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

SEO-Friendly<\/h2>\n

WordPress and Google are best friends. The foundation of WordPress is SEO-friendly, but this doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ll rank at the top of Google right out of the box. A good setup is crucial, and factors such as your template, structure, and content play a key role in achieving strong SEO<\/a>. Using the Yoast SEO plugin, you can further optimize your website.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

Versatile<\/h2>\n

WordPress originally started as a blogging platform, allowing users to publish blog articles easily. Over time, as the demand for additional functionalities grew, WordPress evolved into a versatile CMS. Today, it\u2019s a system capable of creating fully-fledged websites, ranging from corporate sites to communities, forums, and news platforms.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
