Postby Mika » 18 Jul 2023, 13:35

I see a lot of people using wordpress for blogging, however, when they want to create forums, online stores, business website, they opt for premium software.There are a lot of reasons to use free software to build your dream website
Free softwares are as good as premium software. For instance, wordpress is far better than Wix.
Free software reduces your website maintenance cost.

WordPress has helped a lot of people create sites but sometimes, you need to pay for plugins.

Yeah, you might have to pay for premium themes and plugins, however, most of the time, free themes and plugins will work.

To be honest i hardly use paid software, as long as the free ones can do what i want i do not go for the paid ones. I would only go for the paid ones if i can afford it or if i am sure i can make money from it.

There are features that you need on your site that I would advice you use premium. If you are running an e commerce platform, it is advisable to get some premium extensions that can give you advanced payment gateways and subscription.

Yeah, sometimes you need premium software or extensions. However, if you are just starting out, and you are low in budget, you need to use open source software

This is true though. If a new person starts to look at the premium software, he or she can feel frustrated and leave the blog.

Whether WordPress or Joomla, these CMS are good at creating any kind of site including forums for example. You simply install a plugin, or extension and you are ready to move.

Just keep in mind that Wordpress themes are free for everyone and you will look like everyone else if you don't put some real effort into customizing them to be somewhat unique. If you are baking a batch of cookies it won't matter, but it does here.
