Websites built and managed on the WordPress platform are becoming increasingly common, and in recent years they have also become suitable for use in Hebrew. WordPress is a content management system for websites that essentially replaces the need for HTML programming knowledge and makes content editing extremely easy, just like using word processing software. The WordPress system gives the website administrator a wide range of options for easily entering content, images, and other media files. In addition, the system allows for relatively easy changes to the website's design.
The breakthrough of a new content management system
The popularity of WordPress, which was first introduced in 2003, is growing every year, and today it is the leading management system for private websites. WordPress is a content management system written in open source code and enjoys many upgrades and add-ons that are constantly being developed by all of the system's global users.
The advantages of building and managing a website on the WordPress system are particularly significant, and include:
- Ease of website management – The WordPress management interface is easy to use and can be operated very efficiently after a short learning curve.
- Speed of website creation – using the WordPress system, you can set up a website in a matter of minutes.
- Help with website promotion – WordPress websites usually come with plugins that help promote the website on search engines and give them an advantage over similar websites on other management systems.
- Creative solutions – WordPress is a popular management system and is open source, so you can easily find solutions for any upgrade you want to make to your website by simply searching for plugins developed by other website administrators.
Website hosting
Anyone who sets up their own private website with a private domain address must host the website on a dedicated web server. It is worth checking with the web hosting company to find out what services they offer to website administrators using WordPress, since in most cases, WordPress websites do not require particularly expensive hosting packages.
The hosting package must be purchased before setting up a website, and along with website hosting, you also receive a server for managing the website's email system, support for installing WordPress in Hebrew, and full backup services.
