<!– EXAMPLE SIRI –>

If you are a newbie then Squarespace and Wix are a great solution. However there are some long-term downfalls to using platforms like these when compared with WordPress.

WordPress is a platform that provides you with limitless possibilities as to what you can do and where you can take your website. You can start out small with a simple portfolio website and eventually turn it into an online shop, membership site or even an online learning platform!

WordPress is the most popular CMS platform in the world, powering an incredible 25% of the world’s websites. It’s also the best possible starting point for SEO (getting found on search engines like Google) with SEO Melbourne recently stating: “WordPress is recommended by digital marketers as the gold standard when it comes to optimising your website for SEO.”

I only ever want to recommend that best possible solution and for the majority of businesses I believe WordPress is just that.
