Why is WordPress the Top Choice for Organizational Websites?
Have you ever wondered why so many student organizations use WordPress for their websites? Isn’t it cooler to make your own or use another framework? Let’s discuss the reasons.
The Homemade Website Dilemma
Creating your own website does have its own freedom. But, try to imagine this situation:
- New batch confused: Lack of clear documentation and detailed handover made it difficult for new batch to continue website development.
- Limited coding knowledge: Not all members of the organization have an IT background. Learning to code from scratch certainly takes time and effort.
- Starting from scratch: Instead of continuing, new generations often choose to create a new website from scratch. In fact, a lot of valuable data can be lost.
- Suboptimal SEO: Without a dedicated SEO plugin, a self-made website is difficult to find on Google.
What is the result?
- Historical data lost: Long-standing articles and organizational activities can simply disappear.
- Websites are vulnerable to attacks: Without proper maintenance, websites are susceptible to spam, malware, and other attacks.
- Bad SEO: The website is difficult to find in search engines, so information about the organization is not effectively disseminated.
WordPress: Practical and Effective Solutions
Well, this is where WordPress comes in as a solution. Why?
- Easy to learn: WordPress has a user-friendly interface and many tutorials that can be accessed for free.
- Secure: WordPress regularly releases security updates to protect websites from attacks.
- Cheap: WordPress plugin licensing costs are relatively affordable compared to developing your own framework.
- SEO friendly: WordPress is equipped with various SEO plugins that can help increase website visibility in search engines.
- Full support: The PuTI Directorate is ready to assist students in managing WordPress websites.
Using WordPress for your organization’s website is not the only option. However, if you want a website that is easy to manage, secure, and SEO friendly, WordPress is a great choice.
It is important to remember:
- Long-term planning: If you want to use another framework, make sure you have a solid plan for the future development and maintenance of your website.
- Clear documentation: Create complete and easy-to-understand documentation to facilitate handover to the next batch.
- Security: Always pay attention to website security by regularly updating and backing up data.
So, the decision is in your hands!
