WordPress is the world’s most popular content management system, and its rise shows no sign of slowing. Today (2026) more than 40% of all websites worldwide run on WordPress.
If you want a website that’s easy to update yourself without coding skills or crafting prompts for AI, WordPress is the solution for you.
WordPress is the world’s most popular content management system. An estimated over 40% of all websites are built with WordPress.

This is a very common issue, but it’s caused by how the site is built, not by WordPress itself.
WordPress gives you complete freedom to build sites with any approach. Sometimes users slow their sites down by installing too many performance-hitting plugins.
When I build WordPress sites, I use a very small set of high-quality plugins so your site loads and performs excellently.
WordPress is written in PHP, which some consider old-fashioned, but that doesn’t affect how a website performs.
WordPress is a content management system — it manages the site’s content. The actual site can be built with any technology.
I build WordPress websites using the latest, Google-recommended techniques to ensure the best search visibility. The results speak for themselves.
Since an estimated over 40% of all websites run on WordPress, it’s logical that attackers focus heavily on WordPress sites.
Properly built, however, WordPress can be very secure. Open-source software is often more secure than closed, proprietary alternatives.
Sites I build are protected against all kinds of attacks.
I know WordPress inside out and have built hundreds of websites with it—for my own clients and as a subcontractor for large agencies.

There are a million ways to build a WordPress site. Here’s how I do it:

| Pick a pre-made theme from a theme shop or use a heavy page builder | Your site is built custom for you. I use the lightweight Beaver Builder editor. |
| The site has too many features that slow down loading speed | Thanks to customization, the site includes only the features it needs. That makes the site lightning-fast. |
| A slow site scores poorly with Google and won’t show up in search results | The site outperforms competitors in visibility and climbs to page 1 on Google |
| You’ll lose more than half of potential sales from the website due to slow performance and poor search visibility. | The site loads in under a second and scores over 90/100 on Google’s mobile test. 53% of visitors won’t wait more than 3 seconds for a page to load (source: Google). |

I created Saliohjelma.com to practice SEO. Within a few months it grew into Finland’s largest site listing gym workout programs.
The whole site was hand-coded, which allowed for a much better user experience and faster load times than competing sites targeting the same searches.
Strong search visibility was therefore easy to achieve.
WordPress is a free content management system. Developers build websites on top of WordPress and manage content using its built-in features.
WordPress is open-source software, which means anyone can read and understand how it’s put together.
In short, WordPress is essentially a library of PHP functions that a developer can call when building a site.
That depends who you ask. I believe WordPress is the best CMS because it’s been developed for over 15 years by tens of thousands of professional coders.
WordPress is also used by more than 20% of all websites worldwide.
WordPress itself is free, so there’s no monthly subscription for the software. I’ll build the features you need as custom work, which means you won’t have third‑party monthly fees either.
