Why We Use WordPress for Website Development

Glen Hall • February 17, 2025

If you’re a small business owner looking for a website, you’ve probably heard of WordPress—but you might not know exactly what it is or why it’s a good choice. At OSiM, we choose WordPress because it gives small businesses the best balance of affordability, flexibility, and ease of use.

What is WordPress?

WordPress is a website platform that allows us to build custom websites without starting from scratch. Think of it like a solid foundation for a house—you can customize everything from the layout to the features, but you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. It’s used by millions of businesses worldwide, from small startups to big brands, because it works well, is easy to manage, and grows with your business.

Why We Choose WordPress for Your Website

1. It’s Cost-Effective Without Cutting Corners

Many small business owners worry that getting a professional website will be expensive. With WordPress, we can build a high-quality site without the massive price tag of a completely custom-coded website. This means you get a great-looking, functional website at a cost that makes sense for your business.

2. It’s Easy for You to Use

Once we build your site, you’ll have control over your content without needing a developer every time you want to make a change. WordPress has a simple, user-friendly dashboard where you can update text, swap out images, or add blog posts with just a few clicks.

3. It’s Built to Grow With You

Your website isn’t just a business card—it’s a tool to help your business grow. Whether you need a simple site now but plan to add an online store later, WordPress makes it easy to scale up without starting over.

4. It’s SEO-Friendly (Which Means More People Find You Online)

A great website doesn’t do much if no one can find it. WordPress is designed to work well with Google and other search engines, helping your business show up when people search for the products or services you offer. We also build in SEO best practices from the start, so you have an advantage right away. Yes, it is set up to show on ChatGPT as well!

5. It’s Secure and Well-Maintained

WordPress is constantly updated to keep up with security threats, meaning your site stays safe. Plus, at OSiM, we offer ongoing maintenance services to keep everything running smoothly so you don’t have to worry about technical issues.

Real Businesses, Real Results

We’ve built WordPress websites for many small businesses, helping them attract customers and grow online. Here are a few examples:
