Why I Love WordPress and the Astra Theme…
WordPress is a popular and versatile content management system (CMS) that is used to create millions of websites around the world. There are many reasons why I choose to use WordPress to create your website, and you can find out why here.
One of the most important things to consider when using WordPress is the theme you pick. It determines the look and feel of your website and how the information is displayed to potential customers. I use Astra with the Astra Pro Addon to create my client websites and here are 10 reasons why…
1. Astra is one of the lightest and fastest themes available
Astra has many performance-enhancing features included that make it light and fast … and Google just loves speedy websites. The faster your website loads, the higher ranked it will be.
2. Astra is great for WooCommerce websites
Astra has a WooCommerce built-in module which makes it an excellent choice when you want to sell products online. You do need the Pro version to unlock WooCommerce’s full potential, but that is okay, I use the Astra Pro version at no extra cost to you.
