WordPress is perhaps the tool everyone uses for their website. Despite how there are plenty of other choices for hosting a website, many flock to and suggest WordPress. First starting out as a blogging platform, WordPress has evolved into one of the most well-known website platforms today. In fact, at least 20% of all the newest websites were built on the WordPress platform. So why become a WordPress user? This article lists 5 reasons why you should switch to WordPress for all your website and blogging needs.
1) Support
One reason why you should become a WordPress user is because of the community. Seeing as it is one of the most popular blogging platforms today, WordPress has a very large community of bloggers that continue to talk about WordPress. More likely than not, some of them would have the answers to any questions you might have about WordPress. The WordPress forums are likely to have all the answers you would need, allowing you to better maintain your blog or website.
2) Usability
One of the most difficult things about running and hosting a website is that it usually requires extensive knowledge on programming and coding, which can turn off a lot of people. WordPress, however, eliminates that problem. It’s one of the most popular reasons why everyone uses WordPress: it is very easy to use, utilizing a content management system that is user-friendly, allowing even the non-technical-savvy to add content to their website without any problems.
3) Customization
Aside from being so easy to use, WordPress is capable of accommodating a number of themes and plugins for your website, allowing for many options to customize your website with. There are plenty of nice looking themes to choose from, giving your website a nice and clean look. At the same time, there are plenty of plugins to choose from, each with different features that can add to or enhance the overall performance of your blog. Just be wary as having too many plugins will not help your blog go any faster and would in fact, probably serve to make it worse; in this case, having more does not mean being better.
4) Search Engine Optimization
SEO is essentially how your website can rank in search engines, which can be a deciding factor in determining how many people will see your blog when searching. WordPress is great in this regard as it is a rather SEO friendly platform. With plugins that can enhance your website’s SEO, you can be sure that people will come across your site in search engines.
5) Options
The fifth and last reason why you should become a WordPress user is because of the many options you can get. Regardless of whatever your business objectives or budget you have, you can be sure that you will be able to create, design and host a cost-efficient website that people can flock to with WordPress. This is good for those that intend to create a website for business purposes.

Hi Liza , Your guide about WordPress is pretty straight forward . The fourth point in your article about search engine optimization is going to be one of my favorite . I believe that WordPress is far better than any other blogging platform . In my case , I have been using WordPress for the last two months and first time in my blogging career . The results are pretty good because I am getting organic traffic day in and day out without any hard SEO efforts .

Undoubtedly WordPress is one of the best platform out there…and it has it’s own advantages.. Though after training few new users, I realize people who are not so technical always hesitate to start with WordPress.. as Self hosted WordPress requires one to do few technical things, which may be beyond their limit.. but once you get accustomed with….It will get easier..
