These are all important considerations when it comes to creating a web presence. Many businesses choose to use a content management system (CMS) <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.com\/create\/\" target=\"_blank\">such as WordPress<\/a>, as an affordable solution.<\/p>\n<p>We are going to take a look at the potential benefits of using WordPress, and other CMS solutions. We are also going to examine whether it makes more sense to seek professional help to create a more individual and bespoke digital presence.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the advantages of using WordPress to create your website?<\/h2>\n<p>One of the biggest positives of using WordPress is that it\u2019s a free CMS. This means that you do not have to pay a web design company to create the website for your business or organisation. WordPress is also relatively simple to use and does not require the use of any additional HTML in order to create your online content.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to reflect your brand in your WordPress website then you can use customisation options to do so. You can also expand the functionality of your website using plugins. This means that as your business grows you can expand your website. You can also include a blog as the functionality is present.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webdesignerdepot.com\/2011\/10\/top-10-content-management-systems\/\" target=\"_blank\">other CMS solutions,<\/a> such as Joomla and Drupal, which have all have their positives and negatives and which all enable you to create and control your own web content. It may seem like using a CMS is your best option but there are plenty of benefits to be had from speaking to web design professionals such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quikclicks.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\">quikclicks.com.au<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Why using a professional web design service may be a good idea<\/h2>\n<p>While it may be enticing to use a CMS there are several reasons why businesses often choose to speak to web design professionals instead. Benefits of having your website professionally designed include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The development of a more effective web presence.<\/li>\n<li>The chance for the business to concentrate on other important issues.<\/li>\n<li>The creation of a bespoke web presence that is deigned to your specifications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you think about why you have a web presence all of these aspects are very important. You want to be able to attract people to your business or organisation, and to continue to engage with them. Having a unique and expertly designed website is a good way of doing this.<\/p>\n<p>You do have to invest in hiring a web designer but you get an effective website and you are able to concentrate on other aspects of the business and leave the digital content creation to the experts.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the decision regarding your web content is yours alone to make. You may decide that you have the time to invest in creating your own website and that using a CMS gives you everything you need. On the other hand, you may think that hiring web design professionals to do the job is the best choice given that doing so may secure a better return on your investment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you need to create a website for your business or organisation you may be trying to decide on your best option with regards to&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7356,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[418],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.13 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What Options Do You Have Besides WordPress For Web Design?
