Isn&#8217;t my old site good enough? Why do I need to switch to WordPress from another platform? How can I convert my <a href=\"https:\/\/acclaim.agency\/psd-to-wordpress-conversion-services\">PSD file to WordPress using a professional service<\/a>? If you are asking these questions, you are in the right place. In this article, we will share 6 important reasons explaining why to use WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#1 WordPress is Completely Free<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress is a free program. This means that you are free to download, install, use, and modify it to suit your needs. You can use it to create any kind of website you desire without paying any royalty fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although WordPress is free, you need a domain name and web hosting to install it. The domain name is the address of your website on the Internet. This is what users type in the browser&#8217;s address bar to access your website (for example, wpbeginner.com). Web hosting, on the other hand, is the place where all your website files are stored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#2 WordPress is easy to customize with templates and plug-ins<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A large portion of the people who use WordPress is not web designers or programmers. In fact, most people start using WordPress without any prior knowledge of web design at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For people who are not technically knowledgeable, WordPress is the perfect solution. This is largely because there are thousands of free website templates (themes) that you can choose from. There is an ideal template for WordPress for all kinds of websites (be it a blog, commercial site, or online store).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#3 WordPress is SEO Friendly<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress is written using best practices and generates easily parsable websites. In layman&#8217;s terms, this makes Google and other search engines love WordPress. This is why WordPress sites tend to rank higher than other sites on search engines. By design, WordPress is a Very friendly SEO out of the box. You can also use <a href=\"https:\/\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/2018\/04\/25\/top-3-seo-tips-you-need-to-know\/\">SEO<\/a> plugins to further improve your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/man-using-stylus-pen-for-touching-the-digital-tablet-screen-6335.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/man-using-stylus-pen-for-touching-the-digital-tablet-screen-6335.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/man-using-stylus-pen-for-touching-the-digital-tablet-screen-6335.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/man-using-stylus-pen-for-touching-the-digital-tablet-screen-6335.jpg?resize=150%2C100&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/man-using-stylus-pen-for-touching-the-digital-tablet-screen-6335.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/man-using-stylus-pen-for-touching-the-digital-tablet-screen-6335.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#4 WordPress is Easy to Manage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress comes with a built-in update management system. This allows you to update your plug-ins and themes from within your WordPress admin dashboard. WordPress will also notify you when a new version of WordPress is available so that you can update your site with just a click of a button. To protect your data from any accident or hacking, you can easily use a backup plugin in WordPress to automatically create backups and store them safely in a remote location. All of this combined makes WordPress extremely easy to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#5 WordPress is Safe and Secure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress is Safe and secure. WordPress was developed with security in mind and is a very safe platform for running a website. However, like real life, the internet can be an uncertain place. There are hackers who want to get their hands on the private information of as many sites as they can. You need to make sure you\u2019re protecting your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#6 WordPress can handle all kinds of professional media<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress is not just about writing text. It comes with a built-in media manager to handle image, audio, and video files.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most asked questions asked online is \u2018Why should I use WordPress?\u2019 What if I need tech support?
