Yes, WordPress is a free, open-source software. However, there will be other costs involved like purchasing your domain name and yearly hosting fees that will vary by provider.

Hosting costs can vary greatly depending on what type of hosting you choose. For quality, secure, reliable hosting, you can expect to spend at least $100 per month, or roughly $1,200 per year.

Types of Hosting:

  • Free Hosting – Free hosting does exist, but isn’t an ideal option for growing businesses. While it is free, some negative aspects of free hosting include ads on your site, shared branding with your web host, lack of customer support, limited bandwidth and more.
  • Shared Hosting – There are hosting services available in which many websites are on the same server. This is a common and economical choice for small websites with prices averaging around $6 per month. Some common downsides of shared hosting include data insecurity, low uptime, unreliability and competition with other websites on the server.
  • Dedicated Hosting – Dedicated hosting is typically the best choice for a growing business with a healthy, substantial website. You want your site to get as much traffic as possible and be reliable for your customers, which means you need a dedicated, secure server that’s backed by an experienced technical support team.

Yes! Many large and well-known companies have WordPress websites, like The New Yorker, BBC America, Sony Music, Boingo, The Walt Disney Company, The New York Times and so many others. In fact, WordPress is now powering 39.5% of all websites in 2021, up from 35% of sites in 2020.

Yes, WordPress can be used for e-commerce using the popular WooCommerce plugin that’s ideal for online merchants both small and large. WooCommerce allows you to import products and create product pages, as well as customize your entire storefront. WooCommerce makes the purchasing process simple for both you and your customers, and even features advanced inventory management.

This is a very popular option for online merchants. In fact, WooCommerce powers roughly 29% of all online stores.

No, you do not have to be a programmer or developer to use WordPress. The open-source platform makes it easy for nearly anyone to create a website, with a variety of plugins, widgets and themes available to help customize the look and functionality. The back end dashboard is simple and straightforward, with specific areas you can navigate to access pages, media, blog posts, case studies and other types of content on your website.

When you are editing a page in the back end, it looks a lot like any common word processing tool with options to change text styles, create tables, add bulleted lists and more. Additionally, plugins like Yoast SEO make it easy to update your meta titles and descriptions and even designate a focus keyphrase for each page.

Yes, WordPress is very SEO-friendly, especially with the Yoast SEO plugin. This popular SEO tool allows you to input a focus keyphrase for a page or article that aligns with your meta title and description, headings, image alt text and more to deliver an SEO “health” rating denoted by colors-green (good), yellow (needs improvement) and red (poor).

Getting your website to convert means making sure you’re providing a simple, easy-to-navigate experience for site users and being clear about the actions you want them to take. Here are a few tips for improving your website conversion rate:

  • Make sure your website is mobile friendly
  • Improve site speed
  • Establish strong site-wide CTAs
  • Perform A/B testing on CTA button language
  • Integrate Google Analytics tracking
  • Create audience-specific landing pages
  • Create gated content like white papers or downloadable tools
