Our web designers love building websites with WordPress, and we totally get it! WordPress has created an active community of website savvy designers and developers all working together. The result has been websites that our clients can easily update themselves, and that customers can easily navigate no matter what device they are using.
RGB’s Top 7 Reasons to seriously consider building your new website with WordPress
WordPress Websites feature responsive design
Websites created with WordPress are built to perform on every device. A responsive website is one that looks good on desktops, laptops, and tablets. Think you need a native mobile web app? Think again. Responsive web design means your site even looks good on smartphones!
As increasingly more people access the internet using their smartphones, WordPress websites present your full website to them, not just some truncated version of your site.
WordPress websites save your business from building costly web apps, and let your visitors see your full site on their phone!
They are SEO Friendly
Just building a site with WordPress doesn’t mean your site will have great SEO, but it does provide a platform that can help foster search engine optimization. You still need to put in the SEO work with things like keyword research, content writing, and optimizing title tags, but WordPress offers plugins that can help guide you to good SEO. WordPress compatible SEO plugins (such as Yoast SEO, for example) make it easy to determine what improvements you can apply to improve your site’s SEO.
WordPress was originally created just for blogs, which is great for you because every WordPress site is integrated with a blog, and if you are interested in SEO, a blog is your new best friend.
The design possibilities are almost endless
With tens of thousands of WordPress themes out there, you are bound to find the theme that expresses the design you are looking for, or inspires you to envision a whole new look. If you think that stat is impressive, there over four times as many WordPress plugins available!
Do you almost see what you are looking for? As a WordPress developer, RGB can modify existing WordPress plugins & themes to your needs.
It’s easy to use
One of the big reasons why we love WordPress is because our clients love working with it:
-
- The dashboard is easy to navigate
- Almost all website updates can be made within the dashboard, no need to understand coding
- Made a mistake? You can easily reset your site to an older version

It’s open source
WordPress software is available for anyone to modify and learn from, for free! This has created a community of active, smart, and supportive WordPress developers who build website themes. Think of a theme as the backbone of your web design.
These themes allow us to design a beautiful, responsive website that doesn’t have to be built from scratch, which saves you a ton of money. With so many themes to choose from we can work with you to discover a theme and start designing your new website.
Integrative plugins & features
WordPress makes it easy to integrate your favorite plugins, or add features that connect your site with payment processing, RETS data feed, CRMs and more.
Upkeep & Security are just a click away
Maintaining your website is the key to keeping it safe and secure for visitors. WordPress lets you update themes and plugins with just the click of an update button.* Keeping themes and plugins up-to-date means having the most secure version of your website available to your customers.
*Always speak with your webteam before updating themes and plugins.
