WordPress for Enterprise

There are so many questions to answer: Which platform do I choose? Do I need open source or closed source? What about SEO? It can feel hard to know where to start.

So, it might ease your mind to know that your business website is never a one-and-done. If it’s not perfect the first time, it’s not like it’s set in stone.

Plus, anyone who knows the first thing about search engine optimisation (SEO) will tell you that it needs regular nurturing.

For your business website to do what you want it to – get you found on Google – it’ll need regular updates with fresh content. Like blog posts and news articles, and you’ll also need to monitor the back end to make sure it’s working.

But if you choose the right content management system (CMS) from the get-go, your future self will thank you for it.

We’d highly recommend you consider WordPress for your enterprise CMS. There are tons of reasons why we specialise in WordPress and why we recommend it to our clients. Let’s take a look…

As it's an open-source platform, you're free to use, modify and redistribute the code. The source code is literally 'open' for you to use and customise. 

There's a huge community of WordPress developers who can modify and improve things, and everything's peer-reviewed to make sure it's up to standard. Plus, there are regular updates every quarter - all completely free.

This means there’ll never be any licence fees for you to pay. So, you can use that spare budget for better things. Like creating great new content for your enterprise-level website. Or useful content creation tools and software.

It’s worth noting that while WordPress plugins and themes must also be offered under a General Public License (GPL) – in other words, free to use – creators can offer premium versions. These premium versions do have fees. So, it really depends on how many plugins you use and what you want them to do. 

Another reason to keep your use of plugins to a minimum! 

The WordPress CMS has come a long way since its infancy as a blogging platform. It's evolved into a trusted content management system for large sites and enterprise businesses. The fact that it was initially built for content publishing marks it out from its competitors.

Your teams won’t need coding knowledge to publish regular content. Or to make changes and customisations to your WordPress business website.

Thanks to the default WordPress Gutenberg block editor, building and updating your website is intuitive and easy. Even for complete tech novices.

Its drag-and-drop functionality means publishing content is easier than ever. All without the need for extra plugins that could harm speed, performance and security. 

Because WordPress is so widely used, we'd hazard a guess that most of your employees have already used it.

But even if they haven't, its intuitive block editor is super easy to work with. You can drag and drop, and customise your blocks and elements without fuss.

And patterns can be saved for sections and reused elsewhere on your site, saving you and your team countless hours.

With the Gutenberg block editor, the back end looks almost identical to the front end. So, there’s no switching back and forth all the time to check your design. Plus, the regular updates don’t change the interface much. So, there’s no new learning curve each time.

WordPress is a great choice for enterprises, whatever your size. As well as being secure, it's also highly scalable, capable of handling millions of users. 

This means it’s popular with high-traffic sites like TED, Metro, CNN, Disney Books, Tech Crunch, the Mozilla blog, and The New York Times Company.

WordPress can handle sites like these, with millions of global monthly users. So, when you choose WordPress for your enterprise website, you know it can easily grow alongside your business.

Even though WordPress has evolved from a blogging tool to a powerful CMS, its humble beginnings have proved key to its success.

Enterprise businesses - and anyone with a website - should never underestimate the importance of keeping it updated. Google likes fresh, helpful content, so if you want to get found, you need to be serving your audience what they want.

So, not only does WordPress give enterprise businesses a powerful content management system, it also gives them the tools they need to rank in search results. 

Blogs and news stories are a great way to do this. Through publishing these articles, businesses can share company news and updates, showcase their knowledge through educational pieces and demonstrate their authority with thought leadership. 

And what better CMS to choose than one that was founded for bloggers?

Most large enterprise businesses want to expand overseas. To do that effectively, you'll need your website to support multiple sites with different languages.

With WordPress software, you can do this pretty much out of the box. So, you can make your international audiences feel right at home.

Why is this important? Well, because some turns of phrases don’t translate in a literal way. With WordPress as your CMS platform, you can create different content for each site. So, you can make sure you cater to different cultures in an authentic way.

WordPress offers so many possibilities with its Gutenberg block editor. It’s totally free and easy to use. Even with no coding knowledge.
