WordPress Market FAQs
WordPress is a powerful website Content Management System (CMS) that is often used to design websites and blogs. In fact, it is the most popular CMS platform, with 43.3% of all websites using it (that is, over 470 million websites), and has a CMS market share of 61%. The next closest CMS is Shopify with 4.8 million websites. WordPress is written in the PHP programming language and is paired with a MySQL or MariaDB database, making it a rock-solid choice for most websites.
A CMS is a Content Management System, or web application, that enables website owners to add pages to, edit pages, and manage a website without having to learn HTML or other web coding. Essentially, it’s the backend of the website where updates can be made and content can be added or deleted.
Yes. We strongly believe that WordPress is the best content management system available, and currently, around 43.5% of the websites on the internet use it. We traditionally build a new website on WordPress as we have found that it is one of the most secure and stable CMS platforms out there, plus it’s very user-friendly, flexible, and easy to build upon.
WordPress is closing in on having a 50% share of websites on the internet. Many of the top 100 blogs and websites in the United States use WordPress. It also has a huge developer community where they design and develop free plugins and themes to extend the capabilities of WordPress. And WordPress is open-source content, meaning that you can review every piece of code that makes up the system.
Taking control of your online presence enables you to put the best possible image of your business before the online community. You will control what people see when they search for you, your brand, or your business, and help potential customers see you before your competitors. It also protects you, should any unwanted negative content be published online, as it will be much harder for this to rank on the first few pages of Google. Even if you don't sell online, people will Google your company or brand to ‘check it out’.
Nothing is 100% secure, especially when it is online. However, WordPress is updated with 3-4 major updates per year, and dozens of minor updates per year, which is more frequent than most types of software. The regular updates continually increase the security of WordPress websites and ensure the very latest version is in use.
Yes, WordPress is free to download and use; however, you will need a place to host your installation of WordPress. If you want a customized installation of WordPress with custom features and functions, then you will need to pay a developer like Simply Web Services to develop it for you.
Very much so, in fact, we find that achieving better Search Engine Results Page (SERP) placement with WordPress is easier, more straightforward, and often results in quicker results than other Content Management Systems that we have used.
WordPress.org is where all the applications, plugins, and official themes for WordPress are stored; think of it as the hub for all things WordPress. WordPress.com is where you can go and purchase hosted installations of WordPress. There isn't anything unique or special about hosting a WordPress installation with WordPress.com compared to hosting it with another web host. WordPress.com is not affiliated with the WordPress project.
Natively, WordPress supports e-commerce; however, its capabilities depend on your WordPress development and the plugins you use. Simply Web Services can convert your WordPress website to support e-commerce so you can sell merchandise on your website.
Updates can include features, code updates, or security updates. If you skip security updates, then your website will become vulnerable to bad actors who have the intent of stealing data or defacing your website. For that very reason, outdated versions of WordPress and plugins are a security liability.
