    of WordPress developers all around the world working day and night to improve the system. And none of what they do costs you a penny. Open source also means that WP is 100% FREE for you to use on any of your projects. Visit opensource.org #1 fromwixtowordpress.com 2

  3. +45,000 Extensions Given the popularity of WordPress, it’s not surprising

    that a lot of developers have created extensions for it. In the WordPress world, those extensions are called “plugins”. They’re pieces of code — very often free — that extend the core functionality of your website (which saves you money and time). Visit wordpress.org/plugins #3 fromwixtowordpress.com 4
  4. Easy To Use Most users just can’t believe how easy

    it is to publish articles and change content. Because WordPress is so incredibly popular, one recent benefit for you is that a lot of people have experience with using it, so it becomes much simpler and faster to train new employees or editors when they join your company.

  5. Beautiful Designs There are literally thousands of beautiful designs for

    you to choose from. Some are generically themed, while others are designed to specifically meet the requirements of a profession. Most simplistic themes are distributed for free, while the more features rich designs are sold at a premium (average price ranges between $19 – $59). Avada WordPress theme #5 fromwixtowordpress.com 6
  6. Easy to Customize WordPress can be customized in two ways.

    The first way, which does not require coding knowledge, is through the WordPress customizer. The second way (coders love it) is to edit the code directly. There is really no limit to customizing WordPress, you can even create your own theme and plugins. WordPress Customizer #6 fromwixtowordpress.com 7
  7. Talented Developers One of the things you will realise is

    that you’ll never be locked down to a particular provider again. You will never have to go through the same “hostage” situation where your website is developed on a unique, bespoke system and you can’t move it to a new provider. With WordPress, you have access to an almost unlimited pool of developers. We recommend visiting codeable.io #7 fromwixtowordpress.com 8
  8. Multilingual Functionality If you have offices in more than one

    country, you probably need localised sites for every one of them. WordPress sites are easy to duplicate and customise so managing various different sites in a variety of languages and time zones is a piece of cake. Consider visiting WPML.org #8 fromwixtowordpress.com 9
  9. Trusted By All Businesses #9 WordPress is the world’s most

    popular content management system (CMS) in the world powering 26% of all the websites in the world. It is loved by big and small businesses. One of the benefits of the platform is that it can scale as your business grows. Did you know that TIME.COM runs on WordPress? TIME.COM runs on WordPress fromwixtowordpress.com 10

    devoted community, WordPress is evolving day by day to improve its user friendly interface and features. With the passage of time, WordPress enhances its system every time the platform updates.
