According to W3Techs, WordPress powers over 37.8% of all websites on the internet.
One factor driving its enormous popularity is that users don’t need coding skills to build a WordPress website. They can easily extend its functionality via plugins, customize its appearance with a theme, create and publish content, add multimedia, configure its settings, and more — all without touching a single line of code.
However, a complete lack of technical knowledge can lead to problems down the road. Some novice users struggle with securing their site, backing up their data, completely customizing their theme, and redesigning their website. These are just a few reasons that users seek out WordPress developers.
