Why WordPress Website Design Is Our Go-To Choice

Hey everyone, and welcome back to the podcast!

As specialists in WordPress Website Design, we often get asked why we continue to choose WordPress over other platforms. In today’s episode, I’ll walk you through exactly why WordPress and WooCommerce are our preferred tools for building powerful, scalable websites for Kiwi businesses.

The Evolution of WordPress Website Design

I’ve been working in web development for over 15 years, and during that time, I’ve seen platforms like Joomla and many others rise and fall. But WordPress Website Design has stood the test of time. It started as a simple blogging platform and has grown into a powerful, flexible content management system suitable for nearly any type of website — from blogs to complex e-commerce stores.

Why We Choose WordPress and WooCommerce

We’ve built over 200 websites using WordPress. While no platform is perfect, WordPress consistently delivers on the things that matter most — ownership, flexibility, and cost efficiency.

Ownership and Freedom

One of the biggest advantages of WordPress Website Design is ownership. Unlike platforms like Wix or Weebly, WordPress gives you full control over your website. You’re not locked into a single provider, and you can move your site wherever you want. For business owners, this kind of freedom is essential.

Cost Control and Flexibility

Other platforms, like Shopify, are great for small, product-focused businesses but can become expensive quickly with recurring plugin and app fees. With WordPress, many essential features are available for free or at a one-time cost — and we include many of them in our hosting plans. WordPress Website Design gives you better control over your long-term investment.

Built for SEO

Search engine optimisation (SEO) is crucial for online success, and WordPress Website Design makes it easier. Google understands WordPress websites well because they make up 30–40% of the internet. Combined with SEO plugins and fast-loading themes, WordPress is built for visibility.

Tools That Make WordPress Website Design Even Better

We now use tools like the Breakdance builder, which helps us create fast, Google-optimized websites that score well in performance tests. This means you get a site that not only looks great but also performs well and ranks higher.

Final Thoughts on Choosing WordPress

At the end of the day, WordPress Website Design gives our clients what they need most: a flexible, scalable, and future-proof solution. Whether you’re launching a brand-new e-commerce site or revamping an existing business website, we believe WordPress and WooCommerce are the best platforms for long-term success.

It’s open-source, SEO-friendly, scalable, and gives you full ownership of your website.
