Why use 7th Wave?
10 reasons why you should choose the 7th Wave blog platform over a Wordpress built-in blog.
Posted by Martin Spence on Nov 6, 2023
The choice between the 7th Wave blog platform and a WordPress built-in blog depends on various factors, including your specific needs and preferences. While both options have their merits, the 7th Wave blog platform may be considered better in certain situations for the following reasons:
- Ease of Use: 7th Wave is designed to be user-friendly, with a simple and intuitive interface. It often requires less technical expertise than setting up and customising a WordPress blog theme. A big plus for the first time blogger.
- All-in-One Solution: 7th Wave is a complete platform that includes hosting, design, and blogging tools in one package. With WordPress, you have to manage hosting and plugins separately.
- Integrated Design: 7th Wave offers a pre-designed template that is optimised for both desktop and mobile. This can save time and effort in creating an aesthetically pleasing blog, a blog that brings people in and engages your audience.
- Security: 7th Wave takes care of security measures, such as SSL certificates and regular updates, reducing the risk of security vulnerabilities. In contrast, WordPress blogs may require additional security plugins and updates, often causing failures and downtime when investigating a problem.
- Customer Support: 7th Wave provides dedicated customer support, while WordPress support may rely more on community forums and third-party providers. A personal service to make your blogging journey as pain free as possible.
- Simplified Maintenance: 7th Wave handles server maintenance, updates, and backups behind the scenes, so you can focus on content creation.
- Faster Load Times: 7th Wave optimises its hosting environment for speed, ensuring that your blog loads quickly, which is crucial for user experience and SEO.
- Monetisation Features: The 7th Wave platform offers built-in monetisation options, making it easier to generate income from your blogs. Premium content and pay per view options are available and maintained directly by the blogger - meaning bloggers can monitise their content with ease.
- Content Delivery Network (CDN): 7th Wave platform servers include a CDN, which enhances page load times by caching content on the servers for distribution globally. Often the Wordpress databases are on shared servers and have a significant delay and technical overhead.
- Scalability: While WordPress can be highly customisable, 7th Wave simplifies scalability and growth, making it suitable for bloggers who want to focus on content without dealing with complex technical issues.
It's important to note that although WordPress offers flexibility and has a large ecosystem of plugins and themes, we are confident that if you have specific, unique requirements and you want complete control over your blog then the 7th Wave platform may prove to be a much the better choice in the long run. The decision to start blogging should be based on your individual needs, technical proficiency, and long-term blogging goals. At 7th Wave as an experienced blogger or somebody new to the world of blogs sharing your knowledge and expertise is a brilliant way of connecting to an audience and building a trusted online presence. 😃
We also encourage collaborating with like minded colleagues, friends, business partners to share the commitment to producing high quality, original content that adds value to your readers.
And to finish, at 7th Wave we take pride in matching needs and ambitions with the future development of the 7th Wave platform. We look forward to welcoming you onboard and experiencing the 7th Wave community.😃
