When investigating professional website builders, it can be difficult to distinguish what makes each provider different. However, there is one that stands above all others, and you too can discover exactly what makes Wordpress so different.

When investigating professional website builders, it can be difficult to distinguish what makes each provider different. However, there is one that stands above all others, and you too can discover exactly what makes Wordpress so different.

If you are in search of a professional website builder, then you will not be short of free programs that can provide you with a capable website. However, with so many options available, it is difficult to find the one that truly fits all your needs.

With over 10,000,000 copies of Wordpress downloaded each year, in 120 different languages, it must be offering its customers something different. In order to see just what is different, we have compared Wordpress to 2 other well known website builder programs.

Wordpress vs. Drupal

On paper, Drupal may appear to provide a more advanced program, but the reality is that to use this software you need to have a strong base knowledge of the internet. Drupal offers users an advanced system of changeable codes that will cause serious headaches for anyone who does not have advanced computing skills.

Wordpress is not only a more user friendly option, suitable for people with even the most limited computer knowledge, it is also able to create websites that are far more visually appealing than Drupal. Take a look at wordpress.org, to see the best free and premium themes available.

Drupal may provide developers with more advanced technology, but it sacrifices the appearance of its sites. Wordpress offers easy to upload plugins, which will customize your site to perform the same advanced functions as Drupal. This means that it is really not worth sacrificing the ease of use and design features on offer with this professional website builder.

Wordpress vs. Joomla

Joomla is perhaps Wordpress's closest rival. Unlike Drupal, Joomla combines both advanced design and development capabilities for its customers, allowing them to produce a website that is both visually attractive, and technologically developed.

The framework of the site was built so that those with the technical capabilities can override the ready made codes, and customize them to produce sites that function to their exact specifications. This means that the site is often popular with web developers who have a greater skills base.

However, with the plugins Wordpress offers, such as Wordpress Automatic Upgrade, Database Backup and SEO packs, the question of whether it is really worth spending so much time changing these codes, must be asked.

In short, Wordpress is a different professional website builder because it has everything you could need to create a well designed, aesthetically pleasing, advanced and well developed website, without needing to know any complex, technical knowledge. All you need to do is follow a few simple directions and click a few buttons, and you will have the website you need.
