Start your website building journey
Generally speaking, in order to display the company's image, strengthen customer service, improve online business, and establish business contacts with potential customers, companies will use the method of "corporate website building". Generally speaking, building a corporate website requires multiple processes, such as authenticating your corporate information, binding a domain name, selecting a website template, and having front-end and back-end programmers develop it. However, for a non-information technology enterprise that does not have the talent and technical reserves for this process, it would be quite costly to independently complete the establishment of the enterprise website. Currently, the common approach is to use WordPress to build corporate websites.
The main advantages of using WordPress to build a corporate website are as follows:
- Ease of use: The backend operation of WordPress is very intuitive, which is why many people choose it to build websites. It is easy for non-technical users to get started and does not require complex code operations.
- Rich theme templates: WordPress has a large number of theme templates to meet the needs of various types of websites. Whether it’s a business website or a personal blog, you can find a suitable template in WordPress.
- Extension plug-in support: WordPress has many plug-ins that can be used to implement various functions, such as page editing, image compression, SEO optimization, mall creation, etc.
- SEO support: WordPress’s SEO function is also very powerful, which is very important for corporate websites. Optimizing the corporate website to make it easier to be found by search engines can help the company better promote its products and services.
- Low cost: In addition to the above advantages, the cost of using WordPress to build a business website is also very low. First of all, WordPress is free and users can use and customize it freely. Secondly, most WordPress plug-ins are also free, which means that users can freely choose and install the plug-ins they need without paying additional fees.
Therefore, in general, using WordPress for corporate website building can save costs, improve efficiency, and enhance the usability and customizability of the website. If you also want to build an easy-to-manage, feature-rich website and want to reduce costs and risks, then using WordPress is a good choice. However, if you want to build a website using WordPress yourself, you will need a cloud server to host your website. So, next, we will experience the protagonist of this evaluation-Huawei Cloud Yaoyun Server L instance.
