«In WordPress? That’s what I do.»
WordPress is a tool, and as any tool you need your expertise to be able to take advantage with safety and efficiency. Imagine a hammer, which when used correctly helps us to create a beautiful chair, but can burst a finger if we use it badly.
It’s not just choosing the right environment, the tools you need, etc. You also have to use them with sufficient expertise so that these tools work as they should, that they do not overload your system making it slow … and that they are safe.
As for the layout of the site, it is always better to have a specialist to know how users interact on your site and how that communication interface (the web) is designed. This is called UX / UI and together with a good graphic design work will be what makes our site something surprising, attractive and comfortable to use.
Finally, these ideas must be reflected in the website so that it works efficiently, so the layout and development work becomes essential.
In short, when a website is developed by professionals it shows a lot.
