How Can WordPress Cater To The “Instant” Generation?
Episode Summary
We live in a world where simplified solutions are readily available everywhere, and results are expected instantly. So how do we meet those expectations? How do we lower the entry barrier and provide quick and easy ways to set up websites, especially for non-professionals? And how do web hosting companies ensure that people don’t simply go for a Facebook page instead — whose set-up is mind-blowingly quick and easy? By removing as many steps as possible, says Andrey—every step in set-up matters, however small, on the hoster and WordPress side. Luckily, we’re already taking big steps in the right direction. Listen in!
Episode Notes
Key Takeaways
- People need lower entry barriers to set up and run websites, especially if they are not web professionals. The process is long and expensive, and that needs to change.
- Hosters must provide quick, simplified, ready-to-use solutions to compete against Facebook and other instant platforms.
- Instant builders often come with several templates, creating an off-the-rack look. WordPress offers so much flexibility but is harder to handle —or is it?
- Many new solutions are, well, new and have yet to prove their robustness and quality. WP Squared is based on the well-established WP Toolkit, which is stable, secure, and high-quality. WP Squared is designed to remove as many steps as possible and can be set up within one afternoon. It has zero-barrier integration and flexible customization.
- Security is the biggest concern for most businesses. They need safe, resilient websites and secure plugins because breaches and downtimes can have massive consequences. Virtual patching and WP Guard are the perfect lines of defense.
