A WordPress Website
At Merkados we use WordPress as the content management system that drives your website. Although the design and development of the site are completely unique, the use of the most established CMS in the backend helps our clients benefit from a continuous improvement in administration experience, security and growth.
WordPress Benefits
The WordPress project is developed initially by many developers, so businesses and organizations have less risk because of the diversity of developer choices.
Your website is also safer as more people are continually working on security releases. And because it’s so widely used, security vulnerabilities are rapidly identified and plugged.
WordPress is also more customizable than Squarespace or WIX. Unlike the Squarespace platform or WIX, WordPress offers even more customization options than with these two. You can customize every aspect of your system. And with the increase in online competition, clearly, it is necessary to create competitive advantages that sets your business apart.
Your site will also benefit from being much more flexible. Thousands of free plugins and a growing number of paid plugins allow adding functionality to a site without needing to write code from scratch saving time and money for our clients.
Website Design – Professional
Apex, NC, has hundreds of options for web design and development. But if you are looking for a solution that combines beautiful design, responsive development and a marketing-first approach, all with bilingual possibilities, Merkados is your best choice.
