Why choose WordPress as a platform!
One of the first things you need to do when creating a new website is to choose which publishing tool to use. Although most platforms are capable of handling various web projects, it is important to choose one that is right for your needs.
In addition, you must decide whether to choose an external platform or develop one yourself. If you are going to develop your own platform, it requires large internal IT resources in the form of, among other things, programming. If you do not have these resources and would rather use a solution from an external provider, WordPress may be the best solution for you.
