WordPress, a leading content management system (CMS), pioneered the no-code website building movement. Conceived in 2001 and launched in 2003 by Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little, it was initially developed as an improvement upon discontinued blogging software. Over time, WordPress has evolved, adding features that make posting, writing, and publishing web pages effortless. At Dirox, our WordPress development team leverages this powerful platform to create diverse and user-friendly websites for our clients.

The advantages of WordPress are extensive and varied. Its easy setup, simplicity, and user-friendly interface have made it one of the top website builders. Creating a basic website on WordPress is free, and maintaining it, even with a custom domain, is very cost-effective. Its SEO friendliness is a huge advantage for businesses, driving leads and revenue. As most websites are visited through phones, WordPress' responsive and mobile-friendly design is crucial. Website security, endless design options, and flexibility are additional benefits that keep WordPress at the forefront of CMS platforms.
Yes! While WordPress is self-hosting, it is entirely possible if you are already on another web hosting plan and would like to build your website with WordPress. In fact, WordPress is compatible with all hosting web companies, such as WPEngine, Siteground, Flywheel, GoDaddy, HostGator, BlueHost, Media Temple, and other third-party hosts. Actually, Wordpress is so popular that most hosting providers have specific scripts for fast Wordpress installations, and sometimes develop their own plugins to optimize the use of Wordpress with their servers.
The vibrant WordPress ecosystem is made up of a community of contributing developers, designers, and providers who constantly evolve the platform. These participants include WordPress Theme Shops and Marketplaces like Envato ThemeForest and WooThemes that provide diverse website designs. There are also plugin developers who create tools like Gravity Forms and Ninja Forms to add functionalities, and finally drag-and-drop page builders like Elementor and Divi that help you design professional looking websites without code. Our WordPress developers can also work with all these tools.
The WordPress community is vast and supportive, with numerous contributors improving the platform in every release. Hundreds of volunteers dedicate their time to enhancing WordPress’s functionality. Additionally, WordCamps (annual WordPress conferences) and local monthly meetups gather organizers, speakers, and enthusiasts.
WordPress is slowly becoming the standard for building a website, even with the rising competition, with 43% of all websites in the world using it! It is cost-effective and time-saving, which is why many famous organizations use it. Those names include the official White House website, the Microsoft official blog, the Rolling Stone website, Techcrunch, and so many more.
WordPress’s security is managed through a combination of core updates, security plugins, and best practice recommendations that the user must follow. These mechanisms protect against various vulnerabilities such as SQL injections, DDoS attacks, and cross-site scripting (XSS) among others. Regular updates and proactive security measures are crucial for maintaining a secure WordPress website, making it as secure as other platforms.
