Why do I use WordPress over Wix or Square Space?
With Elementor or Beaver Builder for WordPress, you get the ease of use, flexibility, strong SEO capabilities, mobile-friendly design, and scalability. It’s a no-brainer…
WordPress is a powerful and versatile content management system (CMS) that has become increasingly popular among businesses of all sizes. In this blog post, we’ll explore why WordPress is a great choice for businesses and highlight some of its key benefits.
User-Friendly Interface using a page builder like Beaver Builder or Elementor
One of the key benefits of WordPress is its user-friendly interface. This makes it easy for business owners and employees to create and manage their own content without needing extensive technical knowledge or skills. With an intuitive dashboard, users can add new pages, create blog posts, upload images and videos, and much more.
But using a page builder plugin like Beaver Builder and Elementor, it allows businesses to create custom layouts and designs for their website without having to write code.
Beaver Builder is an excellent option for your WordPress site
Beaver Builder is a drag-and-drop page builder that allows users to create custom layouts and designs for their WordPress website. With Beaver Builder, businesses can easily add new elements like buttons, images, and forms to their website, and customize the look and feel of their website to match their brand. I design directly with Beaver Builder in 90% of all my websites.
Elementor is another good option
Elementor is another popular page builder plugin for WordPress. Like Beaver Builder, Elementor offers a drag-and-drop interface that makes it easy to create custom designs and layouts for a website. With Elementor, businesses can create responsive designs that look great on all devices, and can add advanced features like animations, pop-ups, and more. I do find that most users prefer Beaver.
Both Beaver Builder and Elementor are highly customizable and offer a wide range of features and functionality. By using a page builder plugin like Beaver Builder or Elementor, businesses can create a truly custom website that meets their specific needs and goals.
I recommend WordPress design with Beaver Builder
At Web Design Mike, I personally prefer to use Beaver Builder as my go-to page builder plugin for WordPress. I find that it offers an intuitive interface, a wide range of features, and excellent performance. However, I also have experience working with Elementor and can integrate both page builders into a WordPress website, depending on the needs and preferences of the business.
I offer training videos on how to edit your site
That’s why I offer training videos for every website that I design, ensuring that my clients are equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to easily edit and maintain their website on their own. By using their own website, my clients will gain a deeper understanding of how it works, allowing them to make updates and changes with ease. Of course, I am always available for the “heavier lifting” tasks such as template design, reformatting the site, and SEO optimization. With my training videos and ongoing support, my clients can rest assured that their website will always be up-to-date and running smoothly.
Your business needs Flexibility and Customization
WordPress offers an unprecedented level of flexibility and customization for businesses. With thousands of plugins and themes available, businesses can easily add new features and functionality to their website without having to write code. Additionally, WordPress websites can be customized to reflect the unique branding and messaging of a business, which can help to increase brand recognition and user engagement.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) using Yoast or Rank Math
Yoast SEO and Rank Math are two popular SEO plugins that can be used to further optimize WordPress websites for search engines. While WordPress already comes with built-in features like clean permalinks, meta descriptions, and title tags that help to optimize websites for search engines, Yoast SEO and Rank Math offer additional features that can enhance SEO even further. These plugins provide tools for keyword optimization, content analysis, XML sitemap creation, and much more. With Yoast SEO or Rank Math, businesses can ensure that their WordPress website is fully optimized for search engines and has the best chance of ranking highly in search results.
Mobile-Friendly – Google now gives priority to mobile versions
It’s super important to make sure your website is mobile-friendly not only for your visitors but also for your search engine ranking. With so many people using their phones and tablets to browse the internet, Google now gives priority to mobile versions of websites in its search results. This means that if your website isn’t mobile-friendly, you might be missing out on potential customers who can’t find you on Google. But don’t worry – with responsive themes and page builder plugins like Beaver Builder and Elementor, you can easily make sure that your website looks great and works seamlessly on any device. By taking the time to optimize your website for mobile, you’re taking an important step towards improving your search engine ranking and attracting more visitors to your site.
