Key Benefits of Wordpress Websites

There are several benefits to choosing to go with a CMS website and you’ll find more the deeper you go.

With a CMS you can utilize templates that give you a head start in the development process, and you can also add, delete, or edit the content on your pages through a convenient user interface. With static HTML pages, it’s much more difficult to express yourself as a developer because it requires a great amount of skill to match the quality of a CMS-generated page.

CMS can be improved and expanded upon infinitely because they are open-source software. Well-known CMS systems such as WordPress have several thousands of plugins available, all of which extend the functionality of the platform – allowing you to perform tasks that were previously impossible, or simplifying tasks that are currently mundane.

One interesting factor that is not seen until a company has owned a CMS for a period of time is the capability to easily scale and adapt the site’s functionality. For instance, a CMS can be completely re-purposed, as a directory site or a download site. A major function such as a forum or blog can often be added without much difficulty. This is impossible with a flat HTML site, which would have to be totally rebuilt.

A basic CMS with an advanced design is faster to implement than an HTML site with an equally adventurous design. Custom coding for either comes out at the same timescale, but if there are many pages then the CMS wins out. A large site is much faster to build on a CMS than by hand-coding. A ‘skinny’ CMS handling basic publishing only, with no fancy frills, could be online within 2 hours from the get-go.

We develop WordPress websites that capture and retain your audience’s attention.

Investing in a website has become a necessity. But not any website will do the trick. Consider building your website with WordPress, the most popular content management system in the world.

Your WordPress website can be a small online brochure or it can be an enterprise-level platform – but no matter what, it can only support your business success if you treat your website like it’s the storefront of your company. With the right design and features, you have a great opportunity to positively influence the consumers’ perceptions of your brand, and in turn, affect their purchasing decisions.

A content management system, or CMS for short, is essentially a database-driven, web-based application that lets you design, organize, and manage your websites with ease.

As a non-technical user, you can add, manage and edit all content areas based on the individual user’s role-based permissions in the system. It gives you complete control over the direction of the content of the website and, as a result, you will no longer be dependent upon others to make updates quickly.

With minimal training, your will be able to change text and image elements of the pages on the website and add new pages using a simple web-based browser. If you have experience using Microsoft Word and surfing the web, you will find the CMS especially convenient for keeping your website updated and current.

Your website will have full content management capabilities in addition to your specified functionality requirements, including:

  • Web-based system
  • Ability to add, edit and modify pages and navigation
  • Ability to automatically display other site content, and snippets of news and events Ability to schedule content
  • File upload capabilities
  • Approval/post workflows

There are a number of differences between a custom CMS and an open-source CMS platform.

Open-Source CMS

In an open-source CMS such as WordPress, the platform’s source codes are publicly available and editable. They can be redistributed, copied and modified into a number of applications.

These CMS solutions are typically maintained by a broader online community of expert developers, who frequently make updates to the software to patch glitches and extend its functionality.

Custom CMS

A custom CMS is a proprietary platform with closed source codes. They are created almost exclusively for bigger, more complex websites that require custom functionality and tailored workflows. They can be adapted to any business requirements.

Custom CMS solutions are typically maintained by the business or service firm that built it and they have control over the platform’s functionality, interface and updates.

There is no right answer to choosing between a custom CMS and an open-source CMS platform as it depends on what your business needs from a CMS solution. However, at Kika, we believe that WordPress offers the most choices to meet your business requirements. Here’s why:

  • WordPress is the most widely used CMS and is frequently maintained by a number of developers from all over the world.
  • There are multiple off-the-shelf design templates available for WordPress for those that aren’t really interested in what custom web design offers.
  • WordPress is plug-and-play in many cases; many web hosting providers offer it as an auto-install option.
  • With a custom CMS, you run the risk that the web development company who built it for you may close shop and discontinue the CMS.
  • Custom CMSs are usually proprietary so you are stuck with the same web development team for the entire lifespan of your website.
