WordPress is an open source website solution

Because WordPress is open source, it can be downloaded and installed COMPLETELY FREE. This makes the overhead of your web design project much lower, and saves you money in the end.

WordPress has a massive user community

Due to the popularity of WordPress as a CRM, there are huge amounts of support resources available. If you have a question or issue, chances are someone else has had it as well. By searching WP support forums (and Google) you are sure to find an answer to your question.

WordPress continuously updates their platform

The popularity and widespread use of WordPress means that it is going to be around for a long time. Ongoing updates and patches are constantly being published, and just like the platform itself, they are all free!

There are tens of thousands of plugins available for WordPress. This means that WordPress can be customized to fit your needs as a business. Whether it be paid or free, these plugins create a huge amount of flexibility in the way you are using your website.

SEO Friendly

Because of the widespread use of WordPress, Google and other search engines index WordPress sites easily and consistently.
