Frequently Asked Questions: WordPress Website Design
Why should I choose WordPress for building or redesigning my business website?
WordPress is the most popular content management system (CMS) in the world, powering over 40% of all websites. It offers flexibility, scalability, and ease of use, making it ideal for everything from simple blogs to complex business websites. It’s open source, constantly evolving, and supported by a massive global community.

- Regular core updates to patch vulnerabilities

- Two-factor authentication (2FA) and strong password enforcement
- Firewall and malware scanning with security plugins like Wordfence or Sucuri
- Automatic backups and secure hosting recommendations
How easy is it to update my WordPress website on my own?
It’s very easy to update your WordPress website on your own! WordPress was built for users without technical experience.
After your site is launched:
- You’ll be able to edit text, images, and pages via a visual editor (like Gutenberg or a page builder such as Elementor or Beaver Builder).
- You can add blog posts, update service pages, and manage photo and document uploads.
- We provide training or video tutorials to walk you through the basics.
If you can use Microsoft Word or Google Docs, you’ll feel right at home in WordPress.
Do I need to know how to code to use WordPress for my business website?
No coding knowledge is required. Most changes can be made through a visual editor. If you ever need custom features or styling, that’s where we come in.
Will my WordPress website work well and look good on mobile devices like iPhones or a tablet?
Yes. All websites we build are responsive, meaning they’ll look great and work smoothly on smartphones, tablets, and desktops.
Can I add new features to my WordPress website later? I might want to add more pages or photos down the road.
Absolutely. WordPress is extremely flexible. You can add new pages, forms, event calendars, booking systems, photo galleries, and more using plugins or custom development.
What’s the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org?
- WordPress.com is a hosted solution with limited flexibility unless you pay for premium plans.
- WordPress.org is the self-hosted version we use—it gives you full control over your site, design, functionality, and hosting.
We build on WordPress.org to ensure your site is fully customizable and owned by you.
How often do I need to update the WordPress software that I used for my website?
Updates to the WordPress software and to the plugins and themes used on your site are important for security and performance. We can handle all software updates for you on a monthly basis, or we can show you how to manage them safely on your own.
Can you maintain my WordPress website after it’s launched?
Yes! We offer ongoing website maintenance plans that include updates, backups, and performance optimization so you can focus on your business.
