With so many tools out there, how do you know which one is the best one to use?<\/p>\n

We have Joomla, Drupal, WordPress and more …<\/p>\n

I’m probably bias but there’s a good reason I love WP. In fact, I first started my journey using Joomla.<\/p>\n

That’s right. And I remember during that time, I setup one WordPress website as a blog. It was very foreign to me then.<\/p>\n

But now it’s all I use and here’s why…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fast and Easy To Setup<\/h2>\n

Yes, I understand there are script installers, but WordPress is really the fastest to setup.<\/p>\n

It even boasts a 5min install but in reality it takes even less than that!<\/p>\n

And if you are installing manually, the same is true. It has a guided installation process.<\/p>\n

Still having trouble installing WP? There’s a huge community available <\/a>just waiting for your questions. You’ll never be alone while using WordPress.<\/p>\n

Worried about design…<\/p>\n

It looks great<\/h2>\n

It’s really easy to create beautiful websites with WordPress. So stunning in fact that it feels like you are cheating!<\/p>\n

With a huge range of premium themes out there, there’s surely something for everyone.<\/p>\n

Some of the big theme providers include Theme Forest<\/a> and Woo Themes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I prefer Genesis<\/a>. And here’s why<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While WordPress was typically a blogging platform, page builders like Beaver Builder<\/a> make it possible to design great layouts for inner pages.<\/p>\n

Now what about plugins…?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are plenty of Free Plugins<\/h2>\n

One thing that frustrated me when using Joomla and Drupal were the licensing on plugins. This meant to get the simplest of functionality, you would pay a small fortune.<\/p>\n

WordPress has its own repository at wordpress.org<\/a> of free plugins.<\/p>\n

And with over tens of thousands of plugins available, it’s easy to find something you’ll need.<\/p>\n

Want more power? Most of these plugins have paid upgrade paths.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Turn Your WordPress Website into almost anything<\/h2>\n

Again, while WP was originally meant as a blogging tool; it has evolved in the past 10 years.<\/p>\n

With cool plugins like Woocommerce and Easy Digital Downloads, you can effortlessly turn your website into an ecommerce system.<\/p>\n

Or what about tools like Restrict Content Pro and Paid Memberships Pro? You can just as easily make a membership site out of it.<\/p>\n

Here are a few ideas for what you can do with WordPress:<\/p>\n
