Why WordPress?

Did you know that as of 2022, WordPress is utilized by just over 43% of all websites on the internet? The platform has been known to have a 12% increase in usage per year since 2011. If you aren’t familiar with WordPress, you are probably wondering why we, and many other businesses, choose it as our preferred content management system (CMS) over other platforms.

Here are a few things that we believe make it stand out from the rest:

  • Customization – With capabilities, WordPress websites can be completely customizable to your brand.
  • Mobile-friendliness – All WordPress sites come with a mobile-compatible version to them, making it easier than ever to have your content present on all device types.
  • Speed – If you keep your WordPress website up to date, it should perform at an optimal speed that is guaranteed to generate qualified leads.
  • Plugins – WordPress also has several plugins to further add to the overall functionality of your website.
  • Ease of use – As one of the easiest content management systems to use and learn, you and your team will be able to easily publish content, as well as update existing content on your website.

4 Things to Keep in Mind When Redesigning Your Site

If you plan on partnering with a local web design firm, consider adding these items to your wish list:

1. Improving Site Speed

Did you know that nearly 86% of web developers say that a website with a slow load time is the main reason that visitors will choose to leave a website? That is why it is essential to have your website quickly, with 83% of all consumers expecting your website to load in 3 seconds or less.

With that in mind, it is important to make sure that the speed of your website is performing swiftly and efficiently. Some of the ways that you can ensure that is the case include analyzing your Google PageSpeed Insights, as well as assessing your Google Analytics account to see your website’s current speed and load time.

2. Creating Mobile Compatibility

As of Q1 of 2023, nearly 46% of website traffic in the United States comes from mobile devices. To accommodate the versatility of all traffic that comes to your website, it is important that your website’s template can also be accessed by desktops, mobile devices, and even tablets. It is also important to note that 67% of mobile users are more likely to purchase from a company that has a mobile format.

When working with WordPress, their design templates can adapt to mobile and desktop views, making it easier than ever to navigate your website’s content.

3. Incorporating a Blog

Including a blog on your website is a great way to share your industry-related expertise, as well as create content that can drive links back to your website. Google values content that is on brand with your company’s overall goal and niche, as well as content that is helpful and easily accessible to the customer.

Luckily for you, WordPress includes a built-in blog with all of its templates, making creating and maintaining a blog simple and sufficient.

4. Structuring Your Site to Deliver Results

Stylistically, your site’s design should be easy to navigate from the first visit to fulfilling your call to action (CTA). That is why we recommend formatting your website to create a clear and effective flow, as well as showcasing CTA buttons so they stand out clearly on your page. This will allow for customers to complete goals, such as requesting a quote, contacting your team, or even making a purchase, without having to search for what they are looking for.
