The numbers: market share
The numbers argue first: WordPress powers roughly 40 percent of all websites and about 60 percent of sites with a known CMS. No competitor approaches that market share, which means themes, plugins, developers and answers are always in supply.
The case, compact:
- Ownership: GPL open-source you host yourself — no platform can raise prices or delete your site.
- Extensibility: 59,000+ free plugins cover SEO, commerce, forms, languages — nearly any feature is an install away.
- E-commerce: WooCommerce runs stores from single-products to catalogs at scale.
- SEO: clean permalinks, fast themes, mature tooling — the foundation search engines reward.
- Cost: software free, hosting from ₹400/month — the budget goes to content, not licences.
The honest cost: you own maintenance — updates, backups, security — which managed WordPress hosting absorbs, and essential plugins automate most of. The builder comparison and honest downsides follow below.
Freedom and ownership (open source)
On WordPress market share (~43% of websites), the honest summary is that defaults matter more than brand names — a well-set budget plan outranks a mis-tuned premium one. WebJi® documents its defaults openly and adjusts them per ticket when workloads need it.
Plugins and extensibility
Update plugins and themes on a copy or straight after a backup, one at a time if the site is a shop. A white screen after an update is usually one plugin: rename its folder via the file manager to disable it. Remove plugins you do not use — they are unpatched code.
WordPress vs site builders for business
Install WordPress from the one-click installer into the document root you intend to use, not into a surprise subfolder. Note the admin URL and set a real password. Delete the default post and the unused themes after you have logged in.
E-commerce with WooCommerce
Do not cache the cart, checkout or my-account URLs. Test a full order in the gateway's test mode, including GST and shipping, before you announce the store. A fast homepage with a broken checkout is not a working shop.
SEO strengths
On WooCommerce, the honest summary is that defaults matter more than brand names — a well-set budget plan outranks a mis-tuned premium one. WebJi® documents its defaults openly and adjusts them per ticket when workloads need it.
Honest downsides: maintenance and updates
How this plays out with SEO friendliness: settings that look cosmetic usually decide page speed and uptime under real traffic. The defaults WebJi® ships are tuned for Indian network conditions, and support can review your setup on request.
