WordPress is fine, but it’s not always the best way to build a website.
Even though WordPress is the most popular platform for building websites, it was made for blogging, and not all websites that use it have been as successful as they could be.
Here are four reasons why you might not want to use WordPress or another open-source platform.
It is expensive because it is free.
Today, nothing is free.
And, most of the time, “free” services end up being very expensive.
For example, if you have everything planned for your new business, the last thing you need to do is create a blog for marketing purposes.
You are aware of the costs associated with content creation, but not those associated with:
Hosting
Plugins
Themes
Paying for support and developer ( when something goes wrong)
While this may appear to be fine at first, as your business grows, those lists will drain unplanned funds from your business budget.
The cost of creating and maintaining a WordPress website can range from $72.99 per year to $33K per year.
However, most people spend between $800 and $1000
WordPress Itself Is Free, But No Support Comes With It
It has bugs like any other software, and sometimes even small changes, like updating WP, the theme, or a plugin can cause the “White Screen of Death.”
When this happens, you will probably need help to fix the problem. But since WP is free open-source software, there is no real customer support that can help you get your website back.
To get your website back, you will have to use forums and user groups or pay someone with advanced knowledge.
Because of this real problem, many WP site owners have lost their sites.
Designing Your Website
One of the most important parts of building your online brand and presence is how your site looks.
Today, there are many tools and builders that help you make some parts of a design. If you are not a designer, it is almost impossible to give your website the touch that will turn visitors into customers.
So, no matter what, you will have to learn how to design websites or pay someone else to do it for you.
