Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose WordPress for my Oak Park business website?
WordPress is the world's most popular CMS, powering 40%+ of websites. It's user-friendly, SEO-friendly, highly customizable, and has thousands of plugins for added functionality. You'll be able to easily manage content without technical knowledge, and it's cost-effective compared to custom CMS development.
Is WordPress secure for business websites?
Yes, when properly developed and maintained. We implement security best practices including regular updates, security plugins, SSL certificates, strong authentication, and regular backups. Most WordPress security issues come from outdated plugins or weak passwords, which we help Oak Park clients avoid.
Can I update my WordPress website myself?
Absolutely! WordPress is designed for non-technical users. After we build your Oak Park site, we provide comprehensive training on adding pages, updating content, uploading images, and managing your website. The intuitive dashboard makes it easy.
What's the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org?
WordPress.com is a hosted service with limitations. WordPress.org is the self-hosted platform we use, giving you complete control, unlimited customization, and the ability to use any theme or plugin. All our Oak Park websites use WordPress.org for maximum flexibility.
Can you convert my existing website to WordPress?
Yes! We frequently migrate websites from other platforms to WordPress. We'll transfer your content, redesign in WordPress, set up redirects to preserve SEO, and train you on managing your new WordPress site. This gives your Oak Park business the benefits of WordPress without starting from scratch.
How much does WordPress development cost?
Custom WordPress development typically starts at $4,000 for business websites. Cost depends on design complexity, custom features, and number of pages. Unlike template-based sites, custom development ensures your Oak Park website is unique and built exactly for your needs.
Will my WordPress site be mobile-friendly?
Yes! All WordPress sites we develop are fully responsive and optimized for mobile devices. With Google's mobile-first indexing and the majority of Oak Park web traffic from mobile, mobile optimization is a standard feature, not an add-on.
Do you provide WordPress maintenance and updates?
Yes, we offer monthly maintenance packages that include WordPress core updates, plugin updates, security monitoring, backups, and performance optimization. This keeps your Oak Park WordPress site secure, fast, and up-to-date.
