Why choose WordPress for your professional website

Why choose WordPress?

WordPress is the most famous and widely used CMS in the market. Millions of websites use it globally. It has a large community of developers who constantly update and monitor the platform, optimizing its performance. If you choose WordPress for your corporate website or project, you will have an updatable, versatile, and secure CMS—a perfect choice for a professional WordPress website.

Its simple yet powerful backend makes WordPress a universal platform. It can be managed easily without technical knowledge and includes a wealth of resources and tools that can be effectively integrated into your website. This ease of use is the main reason millions of companies choose WordPress. This platform requires zero programming skills and allows anyone within the company to update the website easily and effectively after it has been designed.

WordPress is developed with PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript technologies. These technologies comply with international coding standards established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

At Studio Ubique, we recommend developing web projects in WordPress for many cases. It reduces costs when creating a professional website and allows you to have a self-manageable and secure site. However, if WordPress does not fit your web project, we also offer custom programming and development.

Professional WordPress websites for corporate blogs

By default, WordPress includes all the features of a blog: displaying articles in blog format, organizing articles by tags and categories, and adding comments to entries.

Additionally, WordPress allows you to add widgets like blog tags, category lists, search engines, most-read articles, latest comments, and more.

For these reasons, WordPress is the best tool for creating a corporate blog. The ease of use allows anyone to manage and update the blog with zero complications, making it ideal for a professional WordPress blog.

WordPress design for professional corporate websites

Suppose you need to create a website to inform your audience about your business. In that case, WordPress is the easiest to manage, the most versatile, and offers significant functionalities.

WordPress provides many templates (free and paid) with varied designs and styles. These can be adapted to your website, whether you prefer a minimalist design or a site with lots of information. If you want a highly customized website, we can design and develop your site according to your needs.

WordPress allows you to create as many sections as you need on your website. This helps organize the content and provides maximum usability and user experience (UX). Besides static pages or corporate blogs, WordPress allows you to add functionalities like contact forms, directories, forums, and more. Whether you need an online store, a corporate blog, or a corporate website, WordPress can extend the possibilities of any professional website.

Converting an HTML site to a professional WordPress site

To convert an HTML site to WordPress, you can use a plugin, manually convert your files, or use a child theme and transfer the HTML files to that child theme.

1. 1. Create a folder for your theme and add the files of the standard theme.
   2. Create the following essential theme files:
      – Style.css
      – Index.php
      – Header.php
      – Sidebar.php
      – Footer.php

Open these files in your code or text editor for future editing. There is no need to add any code to the files now. Just leave them in the folder.

You can start by creating them as TXT files. When you change the file extension—from .txt to .php or from .txt to .css—your computer will adjust it to the correct file format. For example, adding the .css extension converts the file into a cascading style sheet.

Transfer the current CSS from your existing WordPress site to the new folder.

You should already have a theme installed on your current WordPress site. If not, install a theme to help you with this part.

You will use the current theme’s CSS as a base, building on it in the style.css file with your site’s HTML files. Copy the stylesheet header from your WordPress site into the new style.css file.

Website usability testing for professional WordPress sites

Having an attractive website is vital. While aesthetics can enhance credibility, providing the best user experience is critical. To achieve this, you should perform at least one usability test on your website.

Usability testing evaluates your website from the end user’s perspective. This test involves a group of representatives giving feedback on your website’s quality. The more difficulties they encounter, the more improvements are needed.

Most people visit a website with specific needs, such as booking a ticket or finding information. They often spend minimal time on these tasks. If a website doesn’t meet those needs quickly, users will move on to another site.

Usability testing should cover all development processes to ensure the best user experience.
