WordPress is now used by 41 percent of all websites
That WordPress is popular won't be new information to most, thanks to the latest report from W3 we can now see the extent to which it is being used. A website without a content management system is often unthinkable. And the go-to solution for many remains WordPress for now. Let's take a closer look at that in this blog post.
WordPress was one of the first blogging systems to emerge in 2003. With the goal of making blogging and creating blog websites possible for everyone. With its evolution over the years, it has become much more than just a way to blog. Everything from corporate websites to brilliant portfolio websites to web shops are now done with it. Based on PHP and MySQL, it has become so popular because it can be run on almost any web hosting. Of course also at MijnHostingPartner.nl. By using these methods the costs for the annual hosting costs stay low. For example, no additional licenses are required to run a WordPress website.
A CMS you can build with
A CMS or content management system always has a limit beyond which it cannot go unless it can be expanded quickly. At WordPress, we've worked hard to make it extensible for almost any business and need. Whether you need a separate module for a registration system, a web store, or want to create a blog for your website. With WordPress as your content management system, it's all very easy. It doesn't matter if you are just starting to create a WordPress website or if this is already your 50th website. A WordPress website is quick and easy to set up. For the beginner, there is a wealth of information available from free sources. Think of other websites where tutorials can be found, our own knowledge base, and in video format like on YouTube. No question is more unique to WordPress, so there is an answer for every possible problem you have.
At the same time, it's easy for even experienced users to set up a website for a new purpose. With a simple installation of less than five minutes, it's easy to set up. And then immediately turn it into a production website.
WordPress can be used in combination with a theme to give it a completely different look in one fell swoop. And the design of your website can be changed instantly. This has the advantage that most of these themes are free to use. And to install with the click of a button. There are also many paid themes available that can be installed in a similar way. And so a unique website can be created for often little cost. Many a theme can be had for around 40 euros. Not a big deal for most startups or webmasters.
Besides themes, there are thousands of plugins that add more features to your website. From a contact form to a complex registration system, everything can be integrated into your website.

WordPress is used by many different users. From a sole proprietorship to a portfolio website for a freelancer.WordPress hosting makes it easy to set up a website for any business. And even employees who have no experience using the web can use it with ease.
Moreover, the functionality can be easily extended thanks to various plugins, and developers can easily create custom work for it. This way, it's always possible to scale up as needed. Without having to take a detour to do so.
Easy to work with and put the content first
What I personally find to be one of the great things about WordPress is the ease with which you can write content for a website. Of course, this is no surprise to anyone who is primarily into content writing. But WordPress makes this a particularly enjoyable experience and has an easy learning curve. On top of that, it looks clean and crisp. With experience with a wide range of content editors, it has always remained an easy favorite. Of course, many people will find it nicer to write in bare HTML, prefer Markdown, or use some other method. But there is a strong argument to be made for the WordPress content editor. It's a "what you see is what you get" editor, which means you don't have to look at the front end to see what it will look like. But you can see it right from the editor.
Freedom for the webmaster
What WordPress also gives you is the freedom to choose the website you want. The WordPress website can be picked up and moved to another hosting. It can be exported and imported to other content management systems to your heart's content and you are always free to host it. Even for commercial purposes. This gives you a lot of freedom as a webmaster that is not always a given with other content management systems.
