- WordPress is free (think of free as in free speech, not as in free beer).
- The installation is as good as automatic, at most 5 minutes – if you have skipped WordPress.com, that is.
- It is the pet of system editors, thanks to its superlatively simple and straightforward interface. An intuitively graspable front-end characterizes it – the home page has the titles/abstracts that lead to your full-length content making the site grandpa-friendly. See what we are talking about?
- It allows you to save on feature scalability, maintenance and downtime monitoring because of its world-class plugin repository, which we think is really underestimated.
- Host multiple WordPress sites on the same installation.
- h references? You need to probe if you want to be sure of where you are spending your money.
- Do you see yourself partnering with them to run a business? You need to bear in mind that you do not just hire a dev-team, you collaborate with one.
- Finally, the all-important question that begets no explanation: would the expense you incur on your chosen developers right now likely to bring you the long-run gains you are after?

- Because it is open source, you need to play around with a wide range of security plugins to throw off malicious activity.
- Despite the much-raved about community support, WordPress does not have much by way of tech support from its side.
- Updates are not time-consuming, but frequent. Even though it is undesirable, updates can break your existing site at times.
- It consumes a tonne of CPU power and memory, given how well it performs.
- Finally, it has MySQL database backend. It is not touted as exceptionally secure, but latest releases of WordPress employ the more reliable My SQLi driver.
