The advantages of using WordPress as your CMS to create a blog
WordPress is a content management system (CMS) that has a high level of personalization and user-friendliness that few other open-source CMS can provide. Even professional web developers rely on this platform without hesitation.
Thanks to thousands of themes, extensions, and plugins available under this CMS, WordPress users can create a unique, high-quality blog without running the risk of lengthening the time it takes to display the pages.
WordPress blogs put an emphasis on content, which particularly benefits their rankings in search results. Search engine optimization is also made simpler thanks to a wide range of easily-integrable SEO plugins.
Lastly, WordPress’s community is where this platform truly shines. In their online forum, you will be able to communicate with people who have put their hearts into making the official forum as lively and useful as possible. There, you can find answers to all your questions.

- Choose a short and easy-to-remember domain name that uses keywords, references your brand name or industry
- Choose a domain that already has some history (a reserved domain, an expired domain, etc.) to take advantage of the SEO that Google gives to sites that have been online for a few years. Use the Gandi.net's WHOIS to find who owns a domain that's already registered
- Add an SSL certificate to your domain for prioritization over sites that lack SSL
