Why Do We Use WordPress Website Builder?
We use WordPress to build and design websites for many of our clients. In fact, the website you’re on right now is built with WordPress. We chose WordPress primarily because it is the best platform on the market for SEO, which aligns perfectly with our focus as an SEO agency. Additionally, its customisation capabilities allow us to create unique and personalised websites for our clients, helping their brands stand out in the digital marketplace.
WordPress Training
Compared to other website-building platforms, WordPress tends to be more challenging to use. To help our clients navigate this complexity, we offer comprehensive WordPress training as part of our services. This training equips clients with the skills needed to update content, add products, or manage blogs, ensuring they can maintain and grow their digital presence successfully.
WordPress Pricing
WordPress offers a range of pricing plans to suit different needs. The starter plan begins at just £3 per month and includes a custom domain name, access to dozens of premium themes, and SSL.
The most expensive plan is £51 per month, but it justifies the price with features like the free Yoast SEO plugin, isolated site infrastructure, unrestricted bandwidth, and 24/7 priority support. Additionally, there are many plans in between these price points, allowing you to pay only for the features you need, helping to keep costs down.
WordPress Website Themes
WordPress themes control the overall design and layout of your website, determining how it looks and feels to visitors. They offer options to customise colours, fonts, layouts, and other visual elements, with some advanced themes including page builders for more detailed customisation.
