Why WordPress?

If it’s good enough for the White House, Sony, Meta and News UK…

There are myriad reasons why large organisations choose WordPress, but we’ve managed to narrow it down to just six of the very best.

1. Freedom

There’s no shortage of freelance, in-house and agency talent familiar with the ins and outs of WordPress, so you’ll never be locked in to a single provider.

2. Customisability & content management

For a user-friendly platform you can make your own and that your editorial and technical teams will love, it couldn’t be simpler.

3. Longevity

Having been around for 20 years already, WordPress is here to stay – meaning your data and investment is too.

For flexibility and agility in development, and open source platforms are unbeatable.
