Overall Satisfaction with WordPress
I initially started using WordPress as a hobbyist, but as my restoration business grew and my blog began to get more popular it became a way to generate revenue through affiliate advertising. It is also essential for advertising the vapor blasting & ultrasonic cleaning services that I offer to motorcycle restoration enthusiasts. The biggest reason for choosing WordPress is the ease of use & customization. Being able to purchase and use different themes for appearances without have to do any coding is a big plus. If you still can't get the exact appearance and features you want from a prefab theme there are literally thousands of resources to guide you in customizing your website. There is a huge community of users and terrific support to help you make the most of it. Most web-hosting companies also offer basic 1-click WordPress installation, making life really easy for the beginner. WordPress is easy for the beginner but can be customized to extreme levels by an advanced user.
- Ease of installation.
- Making regular posts is quick & trouble free.
- Huge number of themes, apps, and plugins easily available for WordPress.
- Finding the best options for your use can be time-consuming due to the huge number of choices.
- Not all plugins and themes play well with each other.
- Most of my services are supplied remotely by people shipping parts to me to be refurbished. This is very much a niche business that could not grow without national publicity as there are not enough customers to support it locally. WordPress enabled me to build an attractive & informative website to drive traffic to my business.
- In addition, the affiliate ads also provide a small amount of revenue, as well.
