In a recent client meeting, we were asked why WordPress remains our preferred platform for clients’ websites. While we’ve discussed it before, here’s an updated look at key statistics and benefits that explain why this leading platform maintains its top market position.
Key Statistics
WordPress powers 43-44% of all websites worldwide, rising to about 62% among sites using a content management system (CMS).
Flexible Customisation
WordPress suits any site type – from blogs and corporate pages to e-commerce stores, portfolios, membership sites, and directories. Its open-source structure fosters worldwide developer collaboration for features and bug fixes, unlike locked proprietary systems. Over 60,000 plugins and 25,000 themes (many free) enable endless functionality and stunning designs with minimal coding.
Beginner-friendly yet Pro-ready
WordPress balances ease for non-technical users with power for developers handling code, performance, and integrations. This means that our clients can be pretty much self-sufficient (if they choose to be) once their site is live, managing content updates and other site changes in-house.
SEO
WordPress has a built-in SEO-friendly structure, boosted by plugins like Yoast SEO, Rank Math, or All in One SEO. This drives higher Google rankings with less effort.
Scalable Growth
WordPress handles business expansion by adding features as needs evolve and managing
higher traffic as your audience grows.
Robust Community
As open-source software, it benefits from global input with ongoing security updates, tutorials, forums, and experts. There’s no vendor lock-in – your site is yours.
