If you’re a web developer and you’re not sure if you should use WordPress for building websites or you should code them by yourself. Read this article to learn if web developers should use WordPress.
This article can be useful not just for web developers, but also for people who are looking to make a website or hire someone to make it for them but don’t know anything about coding and web development.
Pros
1. Cheap Templates
WordPress has a lot of cheap templates and themes, which are easy to integrate and can save you money if you find a good YouTube tutorial. Just take a look at the websites like ThemeForest, which sell templates and themes for under 20$.
So if you are a beginner who doesn’t have experience in web design, you can get a WordPress theme for 30$, change some content and you have a website ready to go, without coding.
2. Beginner Friendly
One of the biggest pros of WordPress is that almost anyone can learn how to use by just watching a couple of YouTube videos, where it probably takes a couple of months to learn to code.
WordPress has its UI, which allows you to quickly change something, install or update plugins add images or anything you want, which decreases the time that it takes to make a website. So if you’re a good web developer, but you need to build some basic website, like a blog, it may be faster to just use WordPress. In fact, this blog is built on WordPress, because it was easier for me to use WordPress and quickly create a blog that spend more time coding to create the exact same thing. I would rather spend that extra time creating content like this.
3. Plugins
Plugins are one thing that can be sometimes very good and also very bad. It’s good because of all the features that you can get, but it’s also bad because they need to be updated very regularly, which can get very annoying if you have 20 plugins installed.
Plugins can be used for adding things like login forms, subscription forms, tools for analytics and also some SEO tools which can greatly improve your website’s ranking on Google. On the other hand, if you create your website with code, you don’t get features like this, you win some and you lose some.
