Website Requirements

Solopreneurs and businesses need a website to interact and transact with prospects and customers online.

An effective website needs:

  1. A clear niche and a focused message
  2. SEO optimized content
  3. Mobile 1st design
  4. Features that make it easy for your site visitors to connect and engage with you
  5. Features that enable you to measure the effectiveness of your site

Why WordPress?

WordPress is the best website choice... “When how it works matters.”

Example 1: You have an Appointment Booking feature on your website, but the way it works doesn’t work for you.

Example 2: You have an Events Registration feature on your website, but you want to change the display layout.

Everything is customizable with WordPress.

Here are the Pros and Cons of using WordPress:

Pros

  • Open Source - It’s free. And you own it.
  • Add Features Easily - There are thousands of feature plugins available. Or, you can code your own.
  • Customizable - Everything is customizable in WordPress.
  • Instant Web Design - Hundreds of Themes available. Or, code your own.
  • SEO Features - Advanced SEO features are available for WordPress websites.
  • E-Commerce - You can use WordPress to sell Physical Products, Digital Products, and Licensed Software Products
  • Integrate - A full-featured API and Webhooks support makes it easy to integrate with thousands of Apps.

Cons

  • Poor Admin Experience - The default WordPress administration interface gets busy and confusing.
  • Complicated - WordPress is complicated. Period. It’s flexible and portable. But it’s also complicated.
  • Plugin Compatibility - While there are thousands of feature plugins available, you must select the right ones for your site. A single plugin conflict can take down your entire website.
