#2 | Complete Control + Customisation
Another reason why we recommend WordPress Web Design over other web design products is because WordPress offers complete control and customisation.
Here’s some common scenarios we often hear from new clients:
“We Have No Control / Access” | a new client that comes to us with an old websites, built using complex technology generally means that the client has been completely dependent on their web designer this whole time. While many Web-Sta clients do opt for us to manage this on their behalf, we also believe in giving you access so that you can make any changes, any time without it costing you each and every time.
“My Website Is Not Customisable” | when someone has tried to build a website themselves using a DIY platform or their site is really old…it’s often templated and very rigid in it’s design. They’re now stuck as this old platform doesn’t allows for the right customisation or integrations required as their business grows.
“Why Can’t I Move My Website?” | most cheaper, DIY website platforms and hosting providers offer cheap options because you cannot move them. Your website is not transferable which means you’re locked in. If you ever wish to leave your website provider, you cannot simply move your website. It’s been built using proprietary software that only that provider offers. We’ve seen countless business owners need to start from scratch, which is incredibly inconvenient. WordPress is 100% transferable between most different hosting providers.
WordPress web design is a friendly web design platform that has allowed us to teach many of our clients how to make simple changes and edits without needing to involve us. We even have our Web-Sta TechHUB with modules on WordPress for this very reason. The client has complete control and ownership of their site.
#3 | Website Updates + Ongoing Edits
One of the many cool things about WordPress from a client and a web design perspective, is the ability for the site to grow with you.
Quite often our clients start with a basic website, adding additional pages and features such as a blog page, portfolio and shopping cart as their business grows and matures. We can even add more complex features such as online bookings and automation.
#4 | Reliable + Secure
