Why we build WordPress websites

Here at Organik, we opt to build the majority of our client’s websites using WordPress. WordPress is an open-source content management system (CMS) that offers simple yet powerful tools for us developers and our clients and is easy for search engines to understand.

It’s an incredibly flexible platform that allows us to create a website that suits your needs precisely while being easy to maintain and backed by a large community of developers across the globe.

How we build with WordPress

We custom build every client’s website, no matter how big or small, using Organik Vanilla, our custom WordPress framework. Put simply, custom-built means your website’s design and functionality are built to fit your needs exactly.

Benefits of custom-built WordPress websites

No code bloat Your website uses exactly how much code it needs to - no more, no less - meaning fast load times and streamlined browsing.
No limitations You’re no longer confined to the limitations of third-party themes and plugins, particularly in terms of design. By custom building, your website can look and behave exactly as you want.
Less plugins means less errors By custom building the majority of your site’s plugins and functionality, you’re not relying on third-party developers, which means you’re not using code that can change without warning.
Easier to maintain Because all Organik websites are all built using the same custom code base, we know them like the back of our hand. So, if something were to go wrong, we can resolve it quickly.
Easier to scale If your needs change in the future, it’s easier to extend your current website if it’s custom built, compared to third party code which may not support your new additions.
Better security Less third-party code means there are fewer potential security flaws being introduced by poorly written or maintained code.

WordPress is by far the most popular CMS in the world. It is so popular for a variety of reasons but mainly because it is incredibly user-friendly. Both custom-built and themed WordPress websites allow the hosting users to alter and add content easily. Even if you have your WordPress website custom-built, once the website is live, you can still access the back of the site yourself to update your content, add new service pages or upload new blogs and images. WordPress also makes it very easy for users to set up and track customer traffic and conversions with Google analytics.

WordPress web design themes are essentially templates for websites that have already been coded and developed. A great thing about these templates is that they are incredibly user-friendly, all the user has to do is add in their text in the pre-made text boxes and swap out the images. The drawback of using a WordPress theme is that they consist of a high volume of unnecessary code. This is because they are designed to be altered for many different types of websites and purposes. Having a large amount of unnecessary code is unfavorable as it slows down the sites speed, which diminishes its search engine optimisation and makes Google rank the website low in the Google search results.
