5 Big Reasons You Should Pick WordPress

1. WordPress is Free as in Freedom

WordPress is free software. It means you are free to download, install, use and modify it to match your needs. You can use it to create any kind of website. To learn more, see our article about why WordPress is free. While the WordPress software itself is free, you do need a domain name and web hosting to install it. A domain name is the address of your website on the internet. This is what your users type in their browser’s address bar to access your website (for example, wpbeginner.com). Web hosting is like your website’s house where all your website files are stored.

2. WordPress Is Easy to Use

Despite being the most flexible and powerful platform, WordPress is quite easy to use for beginners. It comes with a simple dashboard with different menu options listed in the sidebar. You can easily create posts and pages, customize your website design, add navigation menus, and more. WordPress makes it easy for absolute beginners to maintain their own websites without any technical hiccups.

3. WordPress Is Completely Customizable

Most folks using WordPress are neither web designers nor programmers. As a matter of fact, most people start using WordPress without any prior knowledge of designing websites. For non-tech savvy folks, WordPress is the perfect solution because there are thousands of free website templates (themes) that you can choose from. There is a perfect WordPress theme for just about every kind of website (whether it’s a blog, business site, or an online store). WordPress themes are easy to customize because a lot of them come with their own options panel allowing you to change colors, upload your logo, change the background, create beautiful sliders, and truly customize it to your needs without writing any code at all.

4. WordPress Is Safe and Secure

WordPress is developed with security in mind, and it is a very safe and secure platform to run a website. However, you can still do a lot to make your website even more secure from hackers, malware, and other dangers.

5. What Kinds of Websites Can You Create With WordPress?

WordPress can be used in many different ways, from simple websites to eCommerce marketplaces and anything in between.

The following are just a few examples of different kinds of websites you can make with WordPress.

  • Start a blog
  • Make a business website
  • Start an online store
  • Build a membership website

Oleksandr Zinchenko Signs For Arsenal from Manchester City

Oleksandr Zinchenko has joined Arsenal on a long-term contract from Manchester City. The 25-year-old brings huge experience of the Premier League and international football to the squad, having made 128 appearances for Manchester City and playing 52 times for his country Ukraine. Alex developed through the youth academy at Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk, moving to FC Ufa in Russia in 2015. After 31 appearances with FC Ufa, he signed for Manchester City in June 2016, spending the 2016/17 on loan at Dutch side PSV Eindhoven, before returning to City the following season.

Left-sided player Alex, who is comfortable operating in midfield and defence, has won both the Premier League and League Cup four times. He has also won the FA Cup once and played in the 2021 UEFA Champions League final. Technical Director Edu said: “I’m very pleased to see how we’re working as a team here in the club. We put a plan together early and Oleksandr Zinchenko was a main focus on our list. We’re pleased to have Alex with us now because he has the attributes which I’m sure are going to put our squad at a different level.”

Mikel Arteta added: “We’re so happy Alex has joined us. He’s a player that I personally know really well and continued to follow him after my time at Manchester City. Alex is a high quality player who will give us options and versatility. It’s not only about the positions he can play but as well, the versatility he will give us in attack and defence. Alex is a person with great human qualities and character, and I’m delighted that everyone has made this huge effort to bring Alex to the club.”

Alex becomes the fifth new signing into the men’s first team squad this pre-season. He joins Gabriel Jesus, Marquinhos, Matt Turner and Fabio Vieira as new arrivals to the club. Alex has already joined up with the squad at our pre-season training camp in Orlando. His squad number will be announced in due course.
