Crispy Div builds with self-hosted WordPress (wordpress.org), not WordPress as a service (wordpress.com).
Let's Talk Benefits
There are several reasons why WordPress is a great choice for your project. Many of those reasons become clearer over time as you use the platform. Remember, you can scale if you have a solid foundation.
Ownership & Responsibility
When you own a website using the WordPress script from wordpress.org, everything about the website belongs to you, including the data. This stands in stark contrast to many other modern platforms. You maintain complete control.
That also makes every aspect of the website your responsibility. This can be scary, but it's a good thing. Your organization's needs will change over time. When the time comes that you need to pivot, control is essential.
Flexibility & Customization
All WordPress websites look quite similar after installation. Where you go from there is up to you. WordPress Plugins are snippets of code that affect the functionality of your website. WordPress Themes use the template engine to control the structure and design of your website.
Together, Plugins and Themes differentiate your website from others. You can take it as far as you'd like or keep it simple. Again, you have complete control.
Selective Scalability
The beauty of Plugins is that they add only the functionality that you need if you choose them wisely. It is simpler to add necessary functionality when you need it than it is to navigate around unneeded functionality that just sits in your admin dashboard.
A WordPress website can just as easily be turned into an e-commerce platform as it can be transformed into a community forum. You choose the functionality with intent.
Community Activity
Perhaps the best part about WordPress is its community of enthusiastic users and developers. Everything from bustling, unofficial support forums to million-dollar businesses has been built within the WordPress ecosystem. It's a world of its own.
WordPress is tied to the livelihoods of many individuals and families around the world. Your success as a user is often tied to the success of the community. If there's something you need, there's a chance someone is ready to provide it.
Does that mean WordPress is a Crispy Div requirement? 🤔 Absolutely not! Crispy Div is a web development agency. WordPress is an option, not a requirement. Take a look at a few Crispy Div websites that don't use WordPress. Whatever your preference or need, we can help you build it.
