There can be many more as USP of this CMS software but there is a "darker side of the WORDPRESS" facts thats generally not talked by the website developrs or even those hosting companie thtare promotingmany more but the above three are most talked about when one talks for developing a CMS softwarebased website. So, there is always a two sides in a coin that exonomically has a face value.

Lets discuss some .from a perspective of Law Companies the above four USP and relate to Individual Advocates Website/

01. Free flashy theme: Yes , and this can by like a booby traps for the website owners as when one talks of website, they talk flashy designs. but these designs does your developer ever talks about the page load. In the era of mobile devices, majority of netizens browse website on their hand held devices, Now, on a hand held devices where one just scrolls down by swiping the screen are those flashy images more importtant or the text content. Finding a relevat content with website loaded with huge banners and slider images oveshadows the relevant content and navigating to a relevant content can be cumbersome. If a decent simple layout, whch focusses more on the text content rather than on flashy images, requires less of scrolling and swiiping to reach the relevant information is more beneficial.

Advocate / Law Companies: Visitor on a Law website can be a stressed person, someone seeking for a a relevant legal service from an advocate or Law company. Not much concern about images on the website that give a website a sassy looks, but he is in a hurry to reach relevant content on websute. So for a Law company the deisign even if not so flashy but simple and easiy navigable with have more impact on probable customers.

02. Quick ad fast installation: When you see new features, new designs its like a bait and intigates a human mind to implement since its just click of a mouse to get totally a new design or implemen a new feature with some plugin that catches your eye. But then One click can bomb your website when you see websote ruined in design, there are many technical aspects that need to be taken care of to implement something new and then website ruined, it can cost you to fix it, aslo indefinate waste of time to start hunting unknown faces who can resolve the issue.

03. Low cost : This is a myth when it comes to the princing, yes development can be like free of cost when you just click and install the WORDPRESS CMS software. If you are a technical person personally managing a website and have ample free time, yes this site is low cost. But if you a professional who prefer a trible free website them a well managed WORDPRESS website can be very expensive to provide all future support formanging the patches released for the pluigins and these patches are mostly security issues of the website. If website not managed by any professional company the website is always prone ot attack, due to security breaches in workpress. such regular support can be very expensive manage and maintian the WORDPRESS based website.

Advocate / Law Companies:Advocate / Law Companies: Lawyers are more busy with their law research work, rather than researching on bugs and patches released for plugin deployed on the WORDPRESS website. So if Advocates or Law companues have developed the website on WORDPRESS softare it will turn out to be very expensive to manage and maintin the websute as no quality professional service comes free of cost.

04. Flexibility for new designs : One click and complete websute redesiged, one of the biggest USP of the WORDPRESS, but the awarenes of the catstropic effect on the website by just one click to install new design, results in a nighmaire for the website. Internet never sleeps but the website is dead in terms of design ruined and fizing back can again be cost involved by taking support of professional help

Advocate / Law Companies:Advocate / Law Companies: . No one want new designs frequently, so such USP is just a markeing hype for Law compnaies even if the issues involed for deploying a new free design/theme/templates/

MORE DRAWBACKS RELATED WIHH WORDPRESS WEBSITES

01. Performance : Poorly written with free themes slow down websites, causing you to lose potential customers, Free dowloadable templates that are deployed are overloaded with codes and not forgeting the images..The more plugins and themes that you add to your website, the more bloated it becomes. Very difficult to improve website performances not forgetting the security threats. Performance is also degraded since features and plugins are pretty resource intensive on a server.

02. Customization : Another feature that is promoted by wordpress But as the saying goes all that glitters is not gold, can be a fact with the WordPress website, until unless you yourself are a Coder and an Expert on Customization of WordPress CMS software. If you do not have any coding skills, it might be a cost involved, when it comes to customization on the free themes. While trying to customize certain functions it may break other functionalities, untill unless done by experianced professional. It can be a nightmare for beginners figuring out how the WordPress dashboard works also requires a steeper learning curve.

03. Security Threats : Wordpress sites are hackers paradise as its flooded with security issues. Since it is an open-source software, it unlocks the room to possible hackers. A hacked site can be used to launch attacks against other websites or to steal sensitive data. Worpress sites are not very all good in handling security threats, makes it more prone to be hacked. The plugin used in the themes are exposed to various vulnerabilities and has to be always updated

According to the research done by Webarx Security, WordPress has been recognized as the one with the utmost number of vulnerabilities with 542 in 2018.

04. Frequent Updates: keeps you always on the run to be updated about the various updates and patches. This again can add on to cost if outsourced to any professional company or you are technically competent to manage updates of these security patches released and also precious time involved to safegaurd against security issues. To make sure that it functions appropriately, you will have to install several plugins and themes.The more WordPress plugins you use, the more you are going to confront compatibility encounters.

05. Support Concerns: Not just WordPress but any open-source software supported by communities, unfortunately you may not get support just when you need it the most, so this is not possible with WordPress unless you hire a costly web developer. Specific needs may require immediate and customized support and that very difficult to get from open-source community, above all with no guarantee.

06. SEO cpmcerms: Many website owners, look to promote their website as part of digital marketing of their services using the website. Web Crawlers can be impacted by website loading speed this also is a critical factor in both user experience and search engine rankings. An optimum ( as nothing is best) web design company not only designs a website that provides users with a great experience, but they make sure codes that are like backstage performers is well optimized and efficient even for search crawlers. WordPress despite having SEO-friendly features and additional plugins to expand these features, to obtain ranking for WordPress website requires far more effort and costs. Additionally, certain specific and technical SEO updates might not be possible within WordPress.

07. Cost concern: If you are a start-up or a small business, this offer becomes very enticing when compared to proposals from custom design agencies. WordPress website is bundled with higher monthly maintenance fees since WordPress developers needed to keep website and its plugins up-to-date. These fees typically range around a few hundred dollars a month, sometimes going much higher. Before you know it, you will have spent significantly more on your website than if you had paid more upfront.
