WordPress has changed into a popular choice for the development of real-estate websites. However, can it be the best content management system (CMS) for your real-estate website? We’ll examine why it may possibly not be your best option for website owners.
With WordPress as an open source and free platform, it has become the popular choice for website providers and developers. If you are building a residential district website or a store with shopping cart application, the availability of third-party themes and plugins lets you achieve almost anything you’d want.
WordPress gives website developers a good starting point and tools to construct a website. Back in the first years of our company, our website developers developed websites from scratch with the code using NotePad. WordPress now allows people to build websites even though they’ve no knowledge of coding. In fact, many who know how to build websites using WordPress now call themselves “website developers” even though they have no understanding of the actual website coding.
When you yourself have little or no familiarity with website development, the WordPress learning curve will soon be steep. Hosting and installing WordPress can be an intimidating and daunting task. Despite the option of installation guides, the installation of just WordPress itself could be a nightmare when you yourself have no understanding of the hosting lingo. Whenever you do get WordPress installed, you have an universal website that requires the installation of third-party themes and plugins. This is where we see most users just throw in the towel and contact us. They’ve a task they wished they never started, and the time they’ve spent trying to launch their website has been spent towards growing their business and getting more clients.
Even although you have somebody build your website for you using WordPress, we still see many users visiting us for help. They still feel their website content is hard to control and the change of their design nearly impossible. The key reason is that since WordPress was made for everybody of most industries, there is so much in the backend so it becomes overwhelming. Most website owners only require a small percentage of the features obtainable in WordPress.
WordPress can build beautiful and attractive real estate websites with many real-estate themes open to install. Themes offer you a great starting point, but they still require customization to attain the web site you truly want. A WordPress theme comes generic, requiring a great deal of customization to personalize it for the business. From our experience, a WordPress theme will only allow you to get about 50% of where you actually want to be with your website. The other 50% requires stripping the loaded theme to only the items you need, adding your own personal relevant content and images, installing plugins, and design customization.
With the popularity of WordPress comes many struggles for real-estate website owners. One such major and vital struggle is website security. Once a hacker finds one vulnerability in WordPress, all WordPress websites become available to an attack. In November 2014, a vulnerability was learned that left almost 86 percent of the 75 million WordPress websites ready to accept an attack. Just a month earlier, 800,000 banking credentials were stolen from hacked WordPress websites.
