Frequently asked questions
How does WordPress work?
WordPress is a popular content management system (CMS) that allows you to seamlessly create, publish, and maintain a website (or multiple sites!).
Why is WordPress good for building websites?
Its user-friendly interface means you don’t need design or coding experience to get started. Just choose from a range of themes and plugins, and away you go!
Is WordPress the best content management system?
Depends on your requirements! WordPress is user-friendly and highly customisable, making it the perfect choice for building a professional and powerful site.
Can WordPress be used for ecommerce?
Absolutely! You can add ecommerce features to your WordPress website using the WooCommerce plugin.
What WordPress version should I use?
You should always use the most recent version of WordPress for security reasons – and to gain access to new features and performance improvements.
Which Hosting for WordPress package is best?
What is MariaDB?
MariaDB is an open-source relational database management system that’s 100% compatible with WordPress at no extra cost. It’s so reliable that even Google uses it!
What is an SSL certificate?
An SSL certificate creates a connection between a user's browser and the website they're visiting (or the server the website is hosted on). It does this using encryption, preventing data interception during transmission and providing security to visitors – which is why we include a free SSL certificate with all our packages!
Is WordPress easy to use?
WordPress is one of the easiest ways to build and manage websites – and we make it even easier! Just tell us what type of site you want, and we’ll pre-install plugins and themes.
If you get stuck, our Journey feature provides step-by-step, on-screen guidance on how to get started with WordPress. We’re also available 24/7 to answer any questions.
