The idea behind WordPress was to provide a user-friendly platform for blogging without coding skills. In less than two decades, WordPress has evolved into a content management system on which it is possible to build a wide range of online services, from social media platforms to large online stores.

Wide User Base

WordPress has millions of users and developers. As a content management system, WordPress is definitely a long-lasting and reliable solution. When you need help and guidance, there are countless active support forums online, such as wordpress.org and WordPress groups in social media platforms.

Open Source

WordPress is open source and WordPress plugins and themes are developed by thousands of different parties. No matter how imaginative your web service is, no one will say that WordPress code cannot be modified and overwritten to make it happen.

WordPress Updates

WordPress and add-ons are coming up with new updated versions at a rapid pace. The code stays up to date with the new versions of PHP and Javascript, and security stays up to date with hackers' expertise. Transparency and constant competition among the developers of WordPress add-ons maintain high quality.

I ♡ WordPress

WordPress is only getting more and more versatile and user-friendly, and it's nice to jump on its sled.

Yes you can do it yourself. Using WordPress's product themes really isn't any rocket science, and if you got the time, they make it relatively easy to get your site up and running without any previous experience. You'll learn using WordPress admin panel in a day or two, and it's easy to start building based on ready themes.

Naturally, custom-made websites cost a little more than those made with Elementor and product themes. The number of working hours is calculated in tens and hundreds anyway.

If you are aiming for a 5,000-20,000€ website budget, custom coding is the right approach. Also note that from Metsosivut you will definitely get value for the buck. The user experience, functionality, sales funnels, search engine optimization, and user interface will be honed for all the money.

When the goal is to get a low-cost basic website for a small business, all of this can be oversized. Website that meets the essential needs can very well be made on the basis of a ready-made WordPress theme.

Price of WordPress Plugins

In WordPress, many things work through free or paid plugins. Usually I use paid plugins atleast for contact forms and SEO settings. You can choose to use my agency licenses for free with them or whether it is better to obtain own licenses. (Gravity Forms $59/year and SEOPress $49/year.)

Woo online store requires a little more plugins than regular website to run. They can still cost less than 100€ a year combined.

Additional Features

Most of the WordPress plugins have a free stripped-down version, but you should be prepared to obtain paid licenses for certain functionalities, such as the online course platform or event calendar. We'll figure out which one it the most viable option depending on the situation.
