Why We Recommend Wordpress to Our Clients

Wordpress is the easiest CMS (Content Management System) platform we, and the rest of the world, could find. It is also open source, so anyone can download, install, modify, extend and use it for free, for personal or commercial purposes. It is easy on people and resources, for technical and non-technical teams alike.

Clients can change their own site

We recommend it because we love you and value you. Really. Brands keep changing, and a website represents the brand, so the site has to change with it. Wordpress lets clients make the changes they want from the minute their website launches, without needing a third-party service to do it.

It is simple, but it is also highly customizable. Websites built on Wordpress can be customized to reflect the business's brand and present its message in creative ways, like the one we built for GeeksOnAPlane.

Geeks on a Plane is a tour for startups, investors and executives to learn about high-growth technology markets worldwide.

Easy for non-technical teams

Because Wordpress is easy to use, clients can update content right away without highly technical staff or people dedicated to the job, which saves you time and resources once the website is up.

Megaworld is a good example. We built their Mactan Newtown website on Wordpress, which gave them a platform where adding new content is easy. When they have an announcement to make, they can write a blog post so visitors to the site see it, and with a few plugins Megaworld and its visitors can share it on social media.

Wordpress also allows customizations like the tooltip map in the image above, which our team built to present the real estate developer's projects in an unconventional way.

More than show and tell

When we worked with Glory Reborn, a non-profit organization, we ran into the problem almost every non-profit has, which is the need for financial support. One credible way to help is an easy way for donors to give through the website, connected to payment gateways that handle the transactions.

The organization also had to post regular updates so donors know where their donations are going. So we added a blog and connected it to an email marketing service (Mailchimp, Campaign Monitor and so on), so the month's posts are collected at the end of each month and sent to subscribers automatically.

That kind of setup is possible because Wordpress has a large library of extensions and plugins, which bring in current website features and customizations that keep the user experience easy and unique.

Wordpress works for us too

To be honest, Wordpress also lets us, the developers and designers, do our job more efficiently. We have a team of designers and developers who are dedicated to mastering the platform.

Wordpress gives us a solid foundation, so we spend more time designing the interface and less time building, from scratch, the standard setup every website needs. That means faster implementation and turnaround than the usual custom-built site. For clients, it means you can skip boring, templated designs and stand out from the competition at a lower cost.
