It has become an all-in-one, well-rounded CMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is estimated that almost a quarter of all websites worldwide run on WordPress. It is so popular that hosting companies have been known to specialize on WordPress, specifically customizing their servers to better serve WordPress sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking WordPress for a spin as it is \u201cout of the box\u201d isn\u2019t enough to really make the most out of this high-functioning platform.

Use a Responsive Theme<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s been more than a year since the number of internet access through mobile devices surpassed the number of access through desktop devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why it only makes sense making websites compatible with mobile access. Obviously, the size of desktop\/laptop and mobile device screens are different so the experience in accessing and navigating a website using these devices would be different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make your website suitable for access across different devices, it is advisable to use a responsive theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being responsive means that the page size adjusts automatically to the device\u2019s screen size. This makes it more readable, and more engaging no matter the screen size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, a responsive theme uses bigger buttons and links to make it easy to click (tap) on them and avoid making mistaken taps due to small buttons and links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress has its own collection of <a href=\"https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/theme\/responsive-wordpress-themes\/\">responsive themes,<\/a> which you can readily use, but if you plan to have your own theme, be sure to make it responsive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Choose_specialized_WordPress_hosting\"><\/span>2. Choose specialized WordPress hosting.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are web hosting companies which make it a point to enable easy installation, maintenance and support for WordPress websites. There are many hosting companies that provide specialized hosting solutions for WordPress sites. They may offer WordPress hosting packages that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lcn.com\/web-hosting\/wordpress\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">come with free hand-picked plugins<\/a>, free premium themes, fast connection speeds, and generous amounts of bandwidth (some may even offer unlimited bandwidth).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even better, these WordPress-specific hosting solutions come with experienced and highly competent technical support to make sure that problems are promptly addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not to say that other hosting service providers are not capable of delivering the right WordPress support and optimized WordPress hosting. It\u2019s just more reassuring entrusting your site to a company that has the proven expertise and experience in dealing with the different needs and concerns of WordPress website owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Install_social_media_plugins\"><\/span>3. Install social media plugins.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This tip is not necessarily exclusive to WordPress sites but it\u2019s worth mentioning that social media plugins are a great addition to WordPress sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to promote your posts or specific pages on your WordPress site, it\u2019s recommended using plugins that automatically post to your social media pages. Doing this increases the visibility of your site not only on social media networks but on the web in general. The traffic you get from social media contributes to your marketing and search engine optimization efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you can also use plugins to add \u201clike\u201d and \u201cshare\u201d buttons on your site. These make it easier for anyone who likes or who are impressed with your posts to share them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is WordPress has a multitude of social media plugins you can take advantage of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Add_graphics_to_your_posts\"><\/span>4. Add graphics to your posts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You should <a href=\"https:\/\/smartblogger.com\/blog-graphics\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">always have relevant images<\/a> on your posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Images help attract readers\u2019 attention and keep them on the page. You don\u2019t need a study to prove that this is true. On your own, you can attest to how important images are to web pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Images don\u2019t only add an aesthetic boost. They help get the eyeballs and clicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, when the right tags and descriptions are added, they can help in making a page more searchable online. It\u2019s a rarity for someone to not mind going over lengthy blocks of texts unless these texts are highly important or intriguing that readers willingly go over them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Improve_your_Call_To_Action_CTA\"><\/span>5. Improve your Call To Action (CTA)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A call to action is a part of a blog post or a line of text on a web page that aims to induce a reader or site visitor to do something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It could be to purchase something, post a comment, subscribe, share the page, sign up for an account, or to click on a link to go to another page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a call to action <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.wishpond.com\/post\/115675436144\/call-to-action\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">enhances engagement<\/a>. It helps remind readers of the purpose of the page or their purpose in going over the page. As such, they don\u2019t just skim over the page but at the very least they are made to think whether or not they want to respond to the call to action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, this tip is not exclusive to WordPress sites but it\u2019s an important strategy to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calls to action can also be enhanced by using <a href=\"https:\/\/maxbuttons.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">WordPress buttons<\/a>. You can use buttons compatible with WordPress sites and suitable for the theme you have to improve response to your call to action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you consider doing the points briefly discussed above, you can expect better success with your WordPress site and even can earn money.
