When we first started this business, over 11.5 years ago, we built all our websites with HTML and CSS. If you look really hard, you can probably still find some of those websites online. However, along the way we discovered WordPress and since then, have completely switched to offer only WordPress sites. If you’ve had a website for a while, there’s a good chance that you have had or still have a basic HTML website. If your site is one of these, it’s time to think about updating and converting it to WordPress.
WHY CONVERT? Let me count the ways.
- Easy to update: A WordPress site is super easy to update, and you don’t have to pay a web designer to do it. Just login to your Dashboard and go.
- Search engine ready: That’s right, search engines love WordPress. WordPress comes out of the box SEO-friendly, but you can add plugins to really maximize your potential for visitors in the search engines. Less effort and more volume.
- Plugins: Thinking of expanding your website? With WordPress, you simply add some plugins and boom, your site can do whatever you want it to. No redesigning, no need to seek out expensive developers. Just a quick look in the repository and you can find what you need.
- Easy: Things that are hard to set up and maintain on an HTML website are easier on a WordPress site, because developers have done all the work for you. It just works and works well.
Over 25% of websites on the Internet now are using WordPress. It’s the biggest Content Management System out there, and that’s for good reason… it’s the best! We now use it exclusively for all our clients. If you already have an HTML website and need it converted to WordPress, contact us today. We can do that for you. We’ve helped a number of clients convert their dated websites to WordPress, and usually you can even keep your same design.
