WordPress; Looking Towards the Future

If you are considering building a new website, WordPress is most likely the answer you are looking for. WordPress continues to rise in popularity and powers nearly 35% of the internet’s content or roughly 455 million websites. With cutting edge plugins, speed and options – there is no end in site. “Considering that the number of total active websites is estimated at over 1.3 billion means that around 455,000,000 websites are using WordPress today.” via digital.com

That said, you are not alone in researching the efficacy of WordPress, or whether or not you should use it. Depending on the size and scope of your business, heavy customization may be both warranted and needed. Consumers are looking for content to be clear, concise, easy to find and easy to digest. Every website created should be built to thrive on mobile/tablet experiences first, then desktop. There are few things that will leave a negative impression on a possible customer than a ‘bad’ website. People need reminding that “www” stands for “world wide web” – simply because their website is the first thing people will see before a human is brought into the picture. Imagine that, before you even speak or shake hands – you’ve been sized up.

This is part of living, thriving and surviving in the digital age. Your website and each of your digital assets must be up to date and maintained at all times if you are to remain relevant. In addition to this, your website must solve a problem, and do so quickly and effectively. How many times have you visited a website and had to click around to understand just what it is they offer. It’s not fun and wastes valuable time. With the aforementioned 1.3 billion active websites floating around, we each simple don’t have the time to figure out if a business can or can’t solve our problem with their service. The future of WordPress looks continually bright, and we’re happy about that.
