Why WordPress?

Chances are you already have some sort of web presence for your business but maybe it’s time for an upgrade.  A site that may have looked fantastic just a few short years ago can start to look dated and come up short on key, must-have features.

Maybe you’re thinking of launching a brand new site?  There’s no shortage of options to consider, but navigating the tangled web of options can be overwhelming, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the pros and cons of different approaches and how the various technologies and tools work.

Upgrading an existing site or starting out new, you probably want to build your site on WordPress.  Here’s why:

A billion design options

OK, maybe shy of a billion, but thousands of templates and themes are available to jump start your design process.  Choose from themes built to support specific types of businesses or more universal themes that can be customized for any type of business.  Show off your portfolio, set up an online store or build an online magazine.  There is a dizzying array of beautiful options.

Easy, easy, easy

Most WordPress themes can be set up and customized with zero coding required.  Many themes come with page building tools and easy administrative interfaces.  The Bluehost team is here to help should you have any questions or need additional support as you get your site up and running.

Updates

Things change in the digital world.  Software gets updated and new features are released.  Wordpress and Bluehost make it easy to keep your site up to date with the latest versions of software without the administrative hassles.

Plug and play ecosystem

One of the biggest advantages of building your site on WordPress is the massive ecosystem of plug-ins and add-ons available.  Virtually any kind of solution you might need is out there in the WordPress world.  Maybe you need something simple like an easy way to build forms or tools for featuring video, improving your search results or integrating social media.  There is no other website product ecosystem as broad and varied as what you’ll find with WordPress.

Responsive

A website not designed to work well on a mobile device may as well be invisible.  With WordPress, you have a multitude of options for sites featuring responsive design, a design structure that seamlessly optimizes your website to work well on multiple types of devices.

Ready for growth

WordPress can scale with your business as you grow.  The combination of WordPress and Bluehost provides a combination that can adapt as your needs get more and more sophisticated.  

Do a little of your own research and you’ll find a wealth of information about the power and flexibility of building your site with WordPress.  Combine the power of WordPress with the hosting and other services from Bluehost and you’ll have a firm, flexible and fantastic digital foundation for your business.
