In the fast technology world, everyone wants to do everything fast with quality without investing so much money. Website design is also like that. People want to create the best website fast with high quality and performance optimization without investing a lot of money. And for creating a website fast people’s first choice is CMS(Content Management System). Using CMS you can create a high-quality, Performance optimized amazing website.
CMS is the first choice to start a new business. Almost 80 million websites are run by CMS. Almost 65 to 70% of websites utilize a CMS. In 2023, the global CMS market reached 19.38 million dollars; by 2028, it is expected to reach 27.30 billion.
For choosing the right CMS, there is no confusion that people love to choose WordPress CMS. WordPress is the most popular CMS in the world right now. 43.3% of websites using WordPress. You can create any type of website using WordPress and WordPress will give you a security, high-performance, SEO-optimized website.
There are so many CMS in the market like Wix, Shopify, Joomla, Drupal, BigCommerce, Magento, Blogger, Hubspot, Webflow, etc. In the market, there are 800 CMS platforms. But there are 10 to 20 popular CMS in the market and the leader of the CMS is WordPress. Without WordPress, you can also create your website on other CMS. But other CMS is not best like WordPress. For specific needs, other CMS can be great.
For example: For an eCommerce dropshipping store, Shopify is a great platform for you but still you can create your dropshipping store on WordPress WooCommerce. But Shopify is the best for dropshipping store creation. So other CMSs are good but WordPress is better than other CMSs.
WordPress is free. You can easily create your website on WordPress but you need to buy a hosting. Almost every hosting provider has plans for WordPress hosting and WordPress hosting prices are very low. Even you will get a free domain and a big discount for the first year. There are so many popular WordPress hosting providers like Hostinger, Bluehost, Godaddy, Namecheap, Siteground, etc. So you can buy WordPress hosting and install WordPress, set up WordPress with a free theme and free plugins, and create your website. That’s it your website is ready. On WordPress, there are so many free themes that give you premium features with high-quality website templates and also there are many types of free plugins that help you to design your website and add the features and functionality without any cost. And every free theme and free plugin is popular, secure and performance optimized. Free plugins also have premium features, if you don’t need any complex thing in your website I don’t think you will need premium plugins. I made more than 400 WordPress websites with a free theme and free plugins. But on the other side, with other CMS you need to spend a large amount of money for your website and also spend money for hiring someone as well. So if you are talking about budget, then WordPress is the best choice for you.
There are over 30000 themes and over 70000 plugins available on WordPress. And every day new plugins or themes are released on WordPress by WordPress Developers. For any type of website, you can get a theme. So many themes for created for the specific requirements that will help you to make a perfect website with your requirements and you just need to replace the theme content with your original content. Also, there are so many popular themes that are created for top industries’ website design, and this type of theme is use for multipurpose. If you need to create a website for real estate website, you just install a real estate theme, and 70% work is done. By the way, for the premium theme, you need to buy it upload it, and install it.
Also, if you need any features or functionality you can easily do this using the plugin. Even for one specific thing, you will get so many popular plugins. For example, if you want to create a form then there are plugins called contact form7, wp form, ninja form, forminator, formidable, etc and every plugin has a free and premium version.
So on WordPress, you will get large resources for themes and plugins. You don’t need to worry about any specific requirements. WordPress for everyone. Also, the theme and plugin support is outstanding. For other CMS, it’s a dream. You can’t imagine how many businesses are running by creating themes and plugins. Also, themes and plugin development is a great career on the internet, right? So there is no chance to defeat WordPress by other CMS.
In WordPress, you can do anything that you want for your website. WordPress is flexible to customize your website design with WordPress block editor and also in WordPress there are popular page builders like Elementor, Visual Composer, and Divi builder that help you to customize your design very easily. Also, you can customize the theme, and plugin with some basic coding. WordPress is the first choice for flexibility.
WordPress is an open-source system that means anyone can use, modify, and modify, redistribute the website code. The themes and plugins that add functionality to your website are all made possible because WordPress’s code is public. If you don’t like the design for your advanced website then you can still create your custom-built website by coding. But most of the websites are possible to create using page builders.
WordPress offers practically limitless opportunities and is extremely flexible. Over the last 21 years, an extensive group of dedicated developers has worked hard to build and improve WordPress. Its ever-growing popularity and position as the top CMS on the web are proven that this has made it the most flexible and scalable CMS today.
SEO is a very important thing in the website. Without SEO you will not get visitors to your website and it’s very difficult to get customers without SEO on the website. So for SEO optimization WordPress already made their CMS SEO friendly.
But yeah, definitely, you need to optimize your website for SEO. WordPress has the most popular plugins called RankMath, Yoast SEO, etc plugin for ranking your website on search engines. For SEO optimization you can easily optimize your website using those plugins. Those plugin options and features are very easy. You can optimize your pages, and posts for SEO.
So, for SEO optimization no other CMS can do better than WordPress. For SEO optimization, considering how easy and resourceful WordPress is, there is no chance to beat WordPress for SEO by other CMS platforms.
Website speed is really important for a website’s performance. If the website performance is not good then the website is nothing. If your website is slow, there is a chance that your business will stop very soon. So for that WordPress is a good choice for website speed. If someone comes to your website and your site takes a long time for lading then the visitor will not come again and the visitor will be unsatisfied.
In WordPress, it’s already optimized for fast speed and it’s secured. Most of the basic to standard websites are running fast without an extra level of speed optimization. But for an advanced website where the website has a lot of pages, posts, images, plugins, etc then you need to optimize your website manually.
For Optimize your WordPress website, this is very easy. There are so many articles and YouTube videos about how you can optimize the speed of your WordPress website. Using an optimization plugin you can easily optimize your website. For optimization, WpRokcet is the best plugin for you. After the optimization please check the score on Google page speed and GtMetrix.
For easy-to-speed optimization processes, WordPress has an outstanding reputation for optimization. So website speed is another point where WordPress will win against other CMS.
Website security is the most important thing that most website owners forget. If you create an outstanding website for your business and the business running massively but somehow you see your website is hacked! Even if it’s not hacked someone can get your data and will do something wrong that will be very harmful for you and your business. So security is must needed requirement for every website and WordPress always maintains its security with regular updates.
WordPress is a trusted CMS right now but still, the WordPress team working on security because of the technology update. WordPress is always up-to-date and secure. But still, there are guidelines for you to make your website highly secure by using a secured plugin. So use a secured plugin and WordPress is not recommended to use themes and plugins that are unknown, have bad reviews, no updates and support systems.
Other CMS is also good for security but WordPress has the power to create a custom security for your website.
WordPress resources on the internet more than you imagine. For WordPress, there are a lot of articles, videos, and courses. For WordPress, there are so many social media community groups, and forums. You can learn anything about WordPress very easily because of the resources. You just need to search topics on Google, YouTube even on forums or social media, you will get a solution.
For non-techy people also can learn WordPress very easily. There are so many WordPress free courses available on YouTube. If you search for specific problems with the WordPress website you will get the solution. And any type of WordPress articles and blogs are top-level.
But for other CMS, Resources are very limited. So if you want to learn something it’s difficult to find and learn the selected topic. Also if you get a problem then you will get the pain of finding the solution on the Internet. Some of the other CMS have resources like Wix and Shopify but they still do not like WordPress. So, WordPress is the king of the Resources if you ask me about the one CMS resource.
There is no other community like the WordPress community. The biggest community of WordPress will help you to learn WordPress, solve your website problem, guidelines about WordPress, and give you the best tips and tricks. The WordPress community is active and thousands of people join the WordPress community regularly. WordPress also has a specific community for specific themes, plugins, tools, etc.
In other side, other CMSs have also a community but not like WordPress have. Other communities are the CMS’s own community and it will take a long time to fix any issues if you need any support. Because Like WordPress there are not so many people that can help you. So you will get the best community support from WordPress.
For creating an eCommerce store, WordPress WooCommerce is the best option for every new eCommerce business. Using the Just WooCommece plugin you can easily add eCommerce functionality. YOu don’t need to be an expert to use WooCommerce for your online store. YOu will get everything for your eCommerce store by using the WooCOmmerce plugin. 93.7% of eCommerce stores hosted on WordPress use the WooCommerce plugin. Almost 7 million live websites use WooCommerce, and 5 million online stores have actively installed free WooCommerce plugins to improve their website functionality.
So, you understand how the WooCOmmerce plugin helps people with their e-commerce business. You can also create an eCommerce website on other CMS but you will not get support, features, functionality, or resources like WordPress. So, WooCommerce makes the difference between WordPress with other CMS.
