When we start a new website project, one of the first decisions we make is where the site will live, ie. what platform it’s built on. And 9 times out of 10, that answer is WordPress.
Yes, we’ve tried others. And yes, some platforms are more hyped. But over and over again, WordPress proves to be the best all-around choice for the kind of work we do, and the kind of clients we serve.
Here’s why.
1. It’s Flexible Enough to Fit Just About Anyone
Whether you’re a nonprofit with 10 programs, a small business selling services, or a creative with a portfolio to share, WordPress can handle it. We’ve built:
- Event-driven sites
- Multi-language sites
- Simple one-pagers
- Complex directories
- Fully custom-designed experiences
All using the same core system, just configured to fit the client’s needs.
2. It’s Easy to Update (Once It’s Set Up Right)
Our clients don’t want to call us every time they need to change a headline. And we don’t want that either.
When we build a site on WordPress, we set it up so:
- You can edit text, swap photos, and add new pages easily
- You’re not stuck learning code or clicking 12 hidden menus
- Your site grows with you, without needing a full redesign
We want to make editing intuitive even for non-techy teams.
3. You Own Your Content. Period.
With WordPress, you’re not locked into a walled garden. You own the content, the files, the structure. You can move your site if needed, make backups, or hire another developer later. There are no weird restrictions or fees.
This is especially important for nonprofits, coalitions, or orgs with long-term funding or compliance needs.
4. It’s Scalable, Sustainable, and Widely Supported
WordPress powers over 40% of the internet. That means:
- It’s constantly updated and improved
- It has thousands of plugins to extend functionality
- There’s a huge community of support and documentation
- You won’t “outgrow” it the way you might with other platforms
From SEO tools to form builders to multilingual support, we can add what you need—when you need it.
5. It Aligns with How We Work: Flexible, Thoughtful, Empowering
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We believe in websites that work for you. And WordPress gives us the tools to build something that’s both custom and sustainable.
It lets us focus on:
- Design that reflects your personality
- Strategy that meets your goals
- Tools you can actually use
- A foundation that grows with you, not against you
And that’s what makes our work actually work.
