What is WordPress?
WordPress is tops when it comes to popularity and flexibility. Attracting the most traffic to your website can be accomplished with the help of a correctly optimised WordPress website.
Just how popular is WordPress? According to a survey conducted by W³Techs, WordPress is used by 63.3 percent of all websites with known content management systems. This accounts for 43.2 percent of all websites. It is also one of the most popular site builders and content management systems that users can download and install for free, and much more, it is open source.
Open-source software is free to use, modify, build upon, and redistribute in any way. Its unique community which keeps building new features and plugins for it makes it the most popular content management system in use today.
Although it was originally designed to support only blogging and other related types of online publishing, its huge developer following now helps WordPress power a wide range of sites with all kinds of purposes and within all kinds of industries.
New to WordPress? The good news, its use is not limited by the skill level of its users. Even a new user not familiar with WordPress can absorb how its interface works by simply playing around the dashboard for a few minutes.
However, if you have no time to spare, our expert WordPress designers and developers can lend you a helping hand to develop responsive web design solutions that produce real-world results for your company.
Whatever your requirements, its core package, combined with a variety of basic and premium plugins, is sure to create a suitable combination to match the requirements of your site. All in all, WordPress is highly adaptable to meet your company’s needs.
How Can WordPress Support Your Serviced-Based Business?

Being an open-source software, it gives you the flexibility to move your content between hosts with ease. A WordPress-designed and built website is not tied to the platform and gives you the freedom to migrate your content anywhere.
With service-based businesses being put up in all shapes and sizes, namely:

You’d need a website platform that can showcase and capture what it is you do. With our expert digital marketer’s help, we can differentiate you from your competitors, highlight who you are, and what you can do to solve your customer’s and/or audience’s pain points.
Another quality WordPress gives you is its scalability. This means, that as your business grows, your website can grow with it too, sparing you the need to move your site’s content somewhere else.
How Can WordPress Support Your eCommerce Based Business?

WordPress technology has vastly improved over the years, from originally being built for blogging, it can now be used to build fully functional and elegant web shops.

To summarise
WordPress is a well-known website platform if you want to be found online. Its flexibility gives you the power to improve your on-page SEO. Working in the backend of the platform, you can easily customise your metadata descriptions, and title tags, and choose keywords to optimise your site for SEO.
Being around and popular for quite some time, the WordPress platform is being used to create more and more websites daily. Yes, there are other newer website platforms out there that may be more user-friendly, but they can’t beat the stability and community support WordPress has.
And because of this, the community continues to build around WordPress amazingly. There are thousands of community forums, developer groups and WordPress tutorials you can tap if you want to learn more about the platform. Even better, there are experts on WordPress available, like us here at Accentuate, to help you out if you get stuck.
In our opinion, WordPress is the best website platform for service-based businesses, and great for eCommerce businesses as well. With our expert team behind you, you’ll get the support you’ll need to get up and running quickly.
Either way, you get a customised and optimised website, built professionally, that your clients will love.
