WordPress Belfast

If you’re a business in Belfast or elsewhere in Northern Ireland looking to strengthen your online presence, WordPress is an excellent platform to take your business to the next level.

WordPress Options

There are two main ways to use WordPress — WordPress.com and WordPress.org — and the best choice depends on how much control you want over your website.

WordPress.com

With WordPress.com you don’t need to install software, arrange hosting or manage a web server — it’s ready to go. This makes it a simple option if you don’t have technical support. However, free plans limit custom themes and plugins, and unless you pay for a subscription you won’t be able to use your own domain or control adverts on your site.

WordPress.org

WordPress.org gives you the full version of the software, which you install on a server (usually with the help of a developer). This approach gives you total control over the site’s appearance, functionality and data — ideal for small businesses who want a tailored presence online, or larger organisations with bespoke requirements.

Custom WordPress Development in Belfast

WordPress is a highly adaptable content management system (CMS) that can be expanded using custom themes, plugins and bespoke development. Whether you work with a local WordPress developer in Belfast or a digital agency, your site can be built to match your exact needs and objectives.

Themes and plugins add extra functionality to your site. On WordPress.com you’re restricted to the plugins provided, whereas with WordPress.org you can install third-party plugins or have bespoke plugins and themes developed specifically for your project.
