10 Reasons You Don’t Need WordPress Website at All
The past year has seen a surge in the use of online platforms for just about anything – from selling to teaching to learning – you name it, there’s sure to be a website just for it! All this time quarantined indoors has given people the time to explore their creative sides, and the outcome has been a slew of websites that have been conjured up during some mandatory at-home corona stay. But with many of the creatives behind these websites being unskilled at web design, they turn to platforms that would aid them in this journey, namely the likes of WordPress.
But is a WordPress website really a necessity? Or are there better alternatives that exist within our world today? Well, we sure believe so, which is why we’re big advocates of not needing a WordPress website at all!
Not convinced? Here are ten reasons that might change your mind and make you let go of the WordPress craze:
1) Editors
Website editors can make or break your website, and our platform’s editors far surpass others in the market – WordPress included! Not only does it incorporate the classic drag-and-drop interface, but it does so while providing a range of superior features. And the best part is how easy to use it is, making it a great pick for amateurs and those that are skilled alike!
By simply clicking on the 'new section' option users can choose how to customize their website – either from a preexisting selection of pages or by adding user-specific ones – and that too in a matter of minutes. On the other hand, WordPress offers comparatively fewer options with a more complicated interface that does not fare well with the average user who is just starting out.
2) Costs
No matter the purpose of the website or the number of people backing it, there’s always a concern that comes to mind: the costs. Big names like WordPress charge anywhere between $25 to $5000 in monthly maintenance costs depending on the type of website that you are running. Whereas our platform falls in the range of $14 to $22 a month with an additional $7.25 to $39 for ecommerce add-ons, a feature not included in WordPress’ monthly maintenance charges.
So, our platform clearly comes out as the more pocket-friendly option!
3) Google PageSpeed Insights
Google PageSpeed Insights are a key tool for evaluating the performance of any website in terms of its optimizations and processing speed. With WordPress, the average Google PageSpeed score places around the 90 mark, whereas our platform produces a score that falls in the 90+ range, clearly making it come out on top.
4) Value-Added Features
Once you’ve got the basics of your website set up, it’s time to add some much-needed features. And when it comes to this, there’s just no beating all that our platform has to offer. With a wide range of value-added features available to users easily – including URL geo-targeting, automatic backups, and ecommerce features – the features provided by WordPress pale in comparison, especially when taking the price into account.
5)
Growth
While a website may start out small, there’s always an inkling to grow. And to do so effectively and efficiently, users need the right platform that will support them every step of the way. You’ve guessed it – that’s just what we do! Our platform not only arms users with unlimited resources, but it also lets users practice ecommerce at an initial rate that is much cheaper than what competitors such as WordPress offer.
6) Ease
No one wants to run a website that just adds to their stress, which is why our platform doubles down on making sure that all of our users experience the utmost ease in their web design endeavors. Our platform has a consistent ranking of 90%, 92% and 91% compared to WordPress’ 83%, 85%, and 84% for metrics of ease of use, admin, and doing business with, respectively – making us better in every way.
7) Development Time
Development times are of the essence to any and all web design creators, and with our platform you can operate twice as fast as on WordPress. Not only does this boost margins, but maintenance also ends up being more efficient.
8) ROI
Of course, little much can survive without financially sustaining itself, and this holds true for websites, whether they be of a commercial nature or not. Our platform has proven to generate and increase a positive ROI in a period of fewer than twelve months. This is achieved by none other than a reduced cost owing to more efficient hosting, widgets, templates and SSL.
In comparison, platforms such as WordPress take a more prolonged process to achieve the same level of ROI as that given by our platform. So, we’re bound to be your number one choice!
9)
Customer Support
Customer support is of great importance, especially to users who are just starting out in the web design arena. Our platform offers dedicated customer support thanks to our extensive customer service and care unit that operates over email and live chat. So, any problem you face can be solved in no time; all you have to do is reach out!
On the other hand, WordPress lacks an integrated customer support system due to its nature as an open-source platform. This makes it more difficult for users to get through any issues that they may face.
10) Flexibility
Any good web design platform requires flexibility, and this is exactly what we deliver to our customers. Not only do they have the option of choosing from a wide range of features to add to their website, but customers can also choose from multiple website plans according to their needs.
Other platforms, such as WordPress, do not allow users quite the same degree of freedom due to their more structured nature.
So, if you’re looking to build your own website, there’s no better option than us – gone are the days when your go-to was WordPress!
